- she was great in The Resort on Peacock. -- nm - Remlik Oct 31, 09:47 2
  - She's getting tiresome as the one-note "I can't stand my life" stuff. It's like she just rehashed her "Made for Love" character. - Mop Oct 31, 09:51 1
    - never even heard for Made of Love so I have no idea what you're talking about. - Remlik Oct 31, 09:53

        So the actual answer is "the glove box" -- nm - Barynn Oct 31, 10:50
      - you do realize that once you get to that ship you'll eventually have to buy at least 1 type of thing from the market, right? -- (edited) - decline Oct 31, 10:17 8

        Quite possibly. I think I'd allow myself to outright buy a ship off of an NPC that I ran into at a landing pad perhaps. I think the cheapest ship is - kilbooooooo Oct 31, 10:37
