[Cannot install. Get this every time.]

I believe you found the issue.  I did that and cranked it up.  It seems to be patching up now.  If I get him into the game, you just earned the community 2 casual bastards.  I'll buy you a drink at Jove's Fury later on.

[Cannot install. Get this every time.]

The latest attempt was..  Install Net-7, don't run it.  Install Demo, don't run it.  Install patch, run Net-7.  ??  I still get this.  

[Does anyone Play anymore?]

Weekends seem to be more busy.  But if your waiting for population to play, the population won't go up.    It's easier if you drag a family member or friend in with you.  Note for those that may not know.  The community here is as awesome as it used to be back in the live server days.  Super helpful / nice.

What would be the best way about farming V'rix faction?  

[Jenqui Projectiles + Jenqui explorer = worth it?]

I look forward to all that stuff you say in the first line.  JE ships and the JE music themes are so beautiful.  Thanks for the info.  Bullets are not for me.    

[Jenqui Projectiles + Jenqui explorer = worth it?]

Thinkin about it, but I remember back in the day everyone sayin if your Jenqui, best thing to do is focus on beams.  But they are such close range that its very difficult to get combat XP solo.  Are the projectiles worth spending points on?

[Is there a bug when painting ships?]

I'd like my ships engines to be copper pipes.  Yesterday I payed to paint them 3 times and it didn't stick.  But it sure did bill me each time.    Is this a known bug? 

[Any HUD mods out there?]

I'd be interested in seeing some.
