Hello,

may it be that there is a bug in PCC2 1.99.20 if you own 76 or more ships?

I has just a gamedir, if I load game a Crystal and press F1 I come to ship #7 one ship back is ship #500 and one more back is #292. Of cource there are also another ships between #292 and #500.

Bye

Alexander

Ohh, I was a DAU, no I was even a Super-DAU.

You want to know what this mean? Just read the end of this posting.

To excuse me: This happen in a game I do not like because I want to leave the Server.

What happen? I worried myself with a wrong ship name. Usually I use the number of the ship inside the shipname. And here I made a mistake. Ship 2xx was really ship 4xx :-(.

DAU is part of the language of some german programmers. It comes from GAU for atomic plants and esp. Atomic Power Plants.

GAU means "grösster anzunehmender Unfall".

Grösster -> Biggest.

anzunehmender -> to expect

Unfall -> accident

While designing a Atomic Power Plan the engineer is thinking about the worst case or better worst to expect accident. This is in german called GAU. If a accident is bigger than the GAU then you has a Super-Gau. For example Tschernobyl was a Super-GAU.

OK and DAU means Dümmster anzunehmender User.

Dümmster -> most stupid.

anzunehmender -> to expect

User->User

Don't worry, this happens to the best of us. Reminds me of when I called my phone company asking why the bill has a "page 1" and a "page 3". Where is "page 2"? On the back-side of page 1, d'ooh.

Oh, and do you remember scaring neighbours by renaming your new small freighters to "BIOCIDE CLASS CARRIER"?
