Have had nice shifts the last days. Helped two pilots out with their unwanted IFF, showed another, how to use the /pimpship thingie.

I have got three question, when 4.86 will release (this year), solved some issues about ships, which ship belongs to civilian line. Also, i advised a luxery liner to carry humans mostly for RP benefit, and explained him, why the navy wanted to drop him his military vehicles and why they furthermore fined him also. i helped him out with a few trade runs for that RP cargo he needs.

Some pilot wanted the nomad thruster on his ship, i have advised him to the techchart, and explained the possible problems, that may face him, if he want to travel into houses.

I have catched a 20-minutes old level 5 pilot with twelve symbols in his name, and advised him to make a new char. Few minutes later, he was in a CSV with a proper name. Very nice and polite guy.

More: Told a location of a jumphole, and explained, how magnets do work.

Then this, from which i have learned a lot:

I got a bit confused about how many german words are used sometimes in Rheinland beyond "Guten abend". To behave accordingly in Rheinland, i made a /setmsg 0 "Guten Abend, meine Damen und Herren." i thought, it would perfectly fit into Rheinland. What a fail from my side, as i invited native germans to answer full in german via local or system.

[07.01.2011 21:08:46] Mining_Jack: Guten abend auch
[07.01.2011 21:09:09] Mining_Jack: Was war denn so los heute in Rheinland

Followed from a hectical pm from me to him, not to talk german of course in local or system. I explained him my failiure, and of course, i have said sorry for my message, that have forced hm to answer in german.
We have had a talk then for 10 minutes, with more help from me.

All in all, three very entertaining and funny shifts.
