Removed airport station
But but but...I'm getting close to finishing an upgrade of the airport station!
Oh well, c'est la vie! :lol:Just got broadband and downloaded it at home! Now more transporting CDs for me! 
Now to try to integrate my stuff and update my branch and...gosh this hobby is involving! :lol:Started a new game on Earth. Ho! Ho! Ho! 
RE: Alpha 17 released
Can't run this on Ubuntu 11.04, fails with message:./pioneer: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./pioneer)are there any specific lib requirements for this version?

And to think, you just wanted to add the Ladybird ship in the beginning, look at you now, a fully fledged dev! Well done to you for your putting in your contributions to the project

Are you on 64-bit? Its a 32-bit build, so you might need some compatibility libs. Otherwise it was built on Ubuntu 11.04, so I don't know.I'm really starting to think that I should stop providing Linux builds. Building from source is trivially easy and always works properly.

No, 32 bit. After looking into it a bit I think the libc++6 in 11.04 is too recent for me. Usually end up building from source as it happens, but I'm still suffering from black ships with that ATM . . . damn embedded graphics perhaps.As to Linux builds, well that's your call of course, not sure what the best strategy wrt lib requirements would be, but I'd aim at latest Ubuntu LTS and latest Fedora.

Aw, thanks Geraldine! But I'm not really a fully fledged dev, just an artistic contributor. It's just as well, those feathers would tend to tickle!
