  • Not at all!

    When you request a cab a channel is opened for you and you fill in a short form with some relevant details, including your NMS friend code.

    Your cabbie will provide theirs too. You add each other, and the cabbie joins your game.

    They go to your chosen system while you go to the Anomaly. When you fly out of the Anomaly it asks which system you want to go to. You choose your cabbie’s system, then you’re there! We provide instructions all the way through.

    Some cabbies have portals in all galaxies (I’m up to 90) so we can take you anywhere, in any game mode and any galaxy.

    This service is provided for free because we like helping people.



  • It was one with a message that someone copied from a commit I had made a full year before. It broke the build right before a release and the commit message bore no relation to the changes, of course.

    Because they had copied my message, it had my initials in. I had visits from irate managers in other buildings who ranted at me for a good 5 minutes without letting me get a word in to tell them that 1) it wasn’t me, and 2) undoing a subversion commit was a one-line command and not a good reason for the stupid amount of drama (there were no database or other irrevocable changes).

    The last manager to speak to me told me it was still my fault as it was a bad message in the first place. The message read “Fixing typo in the audit log”.
