UPI News Update

Starcaptain Robert Neal, an FET starcaptain who was arrested by the ISP for
violation of the Geneb quarantine, was reportedly killed in a prison riot at
the Imperial prison, ISP Coupville-2.  Neal, whose parole hearing was
scheduled for next month, was killed by fellow inmates who were upset that he
failed to join them.  The riot was put down when a company of ISP marines
joined the prison guards.  The prisoners claimed that the riot was over
better living conditions and food.  Retired ISP Commodore-turned-governor,
Deal, had this to say: "the animals get what they deserve.  If they want
luxury living, then they should break the laws."  ISP Admiral Belker, once
commander of Commodore Deal, had this to say about his one-time subordinate:
"asshole."

Subject: BSE: Rules Confusion

Forgive me if I missed something, but I'm confused.  Which rules are
going into effect when?  Did anything happen on the 15th?  If so, what?
Just the new colony rules?  In any case, where are the new rules
available?  Not all of us have access to Compuserve or AOL, and believe
it or not, there are even a few colony governers who struggle along
without Internet access.  The Thunder BBS doesn't have any of the new
material, just a text file of the old (pre-RTG) rules, and one containing
the new ownership announcement. I know a draft set of changes appeared
on this list, but there has been much discussion since then, and if an
official revised draft of new rules appeared, I missed it.  How can I get it?

Kerry doesn't seem to advertise it much, but there is an anonymous FTP site
at IO.COM that has some material available, including the new rules plus the
supplement that added some errata to them.  He also keeps the past issues of
the Digest of this list there, along with some other assorted things.  I
believe the directory is /usr/pub/kerry/bse, but don't take that as gospel.

George,

The new version of the rules are not ready, nor have any of the proposed
changes taken effect yet and I doubt they will until sometime 1st quarter 95.

Subject: BSE: Ship Prices

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM WCE ODIN'S EYE:

Due to the incredible demand of WCE ships, we have been fored to
increase prices (otherwise my production facilities could never keep up).
Beginning immediately, WCE Odin's eye will build ships and supply
upgrades at *1000 per hull.  This is still one of the lowest prices in the
game, and those who are in the process of obtaining ships already
(including the USS PD), will receive their ships at the earlier price.

In addition, please be patient with delivery dates right now.  I addition
to filling all these ship orders, Odin's Eye is frantically working to ensure
that there it remains at 100% production capacity when the new morale
rules hit.

To all WCE members:  This announcement does not affect you.  Your
ships hulls come from a different place, and are not available for building
non-WCE ships.

Sincerely,
Lord Horst Treyder
CEO, Treyder Enterprises

Walt,
I take it that Tom J. is coming back?  What of Russ Viebrooks?  Also, is
Barry P. abdicating the QSN leadership to Tom?

Hi Rick:

All of the changes will go at once, once we have programmed them. This
includes all of teh rules, including the political rules and everything. As
of now, we are still operating under the old set of rules. We will give
everybody at least 30 days notice of the new rules coming into effect.
