I am starting work on the guide tonight.

Currently I am compiling all the info that will be needed for the guide, it's a daunting task but someone has to do it.

I'm extracting all the info I can get straight out of the dlls, so I've got all base descriptions and infocards I need. (The thought of having to manually visit each base and write them down was frightening)

Just so you know, there's spreadsheets with weapons and commodities info available in the TLR downloads. Also there's one spreadsheet file under Editing Tools that has a neat, concise reference for a lot of things. You might find those useful.

Ok heres my entry for Planet Crete

Planet Crete

Home planet of the Corsair Pirates.
There is rumors they are the Descendants of the lost sleeper ship "The Hispania", but that has not been confirmed.
Early in there history it has been rumored that the pirates once resorted to cannbalisim.
Any ship friendly to the Corsairs will be allowed to go to there planet and buy some of the best weapons in the sirius sector, there enemies will probly be blasted to death and turned into ship grease (Why anyone would want to grease their ship with their opponents remains is beyond me).

I'm about halfway through extracting the infocards from the dll files, it's hard work seeing as there are over 1000 entries.

And thanks for that entry, I will put anything in the guide, so if you have something personal to add to a planet or system or anything, feel free to email me or post it here.
