Overview

Overhear some useful (and some not-so-useful!) tips at the station bar.

When docked, visit the F4 screen (Visit the Station Bar under "Activities") to go and listen in!

Hints cover combat, trading, using equipment, pirate & thargoid tactics, etc.

Future Hopes

This is the first stage of this .oxp

Assuming I can develop the skills:

1. GNN newsflashes to amplify a little more along these lines.
2. I'd like to add choices of drinks
3. Also to add variation and choice in bars (those orbital stations are massive, just one bar is unrealistic).
4. I'd also like to combine it with BeeTLe BeTHLeHeM's Life in the Frontier.oxp - which gives more meaning to visiting the bar
5. I desperately want to add in advice for other oxp's (which requires this oxp to recognise which ones are loaded and then dole out data accordingly)
