I'm really tempted to make another pirate thread just to offset how bad (I wanted to use stronger language) it is if we can't agree on what yea the game is.
OK. We base a a year on the planet earth, remember earth?, is the orbital period of the Earth moving around the sun.
OK. We got a lot of planets, so we cant' do that amy more or we'll have a definition of a "year" for every different system. That ain't happening.
OK. We're simple people, we like simple. We love simple. We need simple. For the love of merciful powers that be, lets make the game reflect an Earth calendar year please? Let's say its in memory of those blown to atoms and making us fly out to Sirius in the first place.
In the end, many don't care why.....they just want to know what year it is.
Sometimes, when all you want is to gain your freedom, you must be willing to risk it all.
