Regardless of who finished first or posted first I have to say this was the most interesting challenge I have ever done in UQM. (Or heard of for that Matter) The idea that someone could beat the game without any RU's or starbase to provide crew is shocking to me.
To all people who were sick and tired of the arguing: Sorry - I probaly pushed it a bit to far.

They made the probes pop up once a day to encourage people to go to the starbase, but you guys are so good at probe hunting now that you could use it as an alternative to mining (in a normal game where the RU's have a use).

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Let me verify something -- you collected bios early on so you didn't need to sell your last thrusters, right? 'Cause that would REALLY mess everything up if you had to do that.

could one of you guys send me a saved game from just before the Chmmr? Sometime when I have free time I'd like to step through in the debugger and see what all causes the crash.

Load up cygwin or install a version of linux, compile UQM with debugging symbols using gcc, then use gdb to debug. Umm, that wasn't very helpfull because I don't know how to debug in VC++ 
Bottom line: you'll pobably have to compile no matter what; I assume that debugging symbols are left out of the UQM windows binary that's distributed.

I assume that you probably don't want to go through that. If not, you could email the savedgame to ribsroom[ place at here ]programmer.net and I'll play with it when I get a chance.

Here's an example from another thread of what debugging information looks like. It's sort of like a road-map of what function calls were made as the program was being run (stack trace). Not even usable unless you can step through the code yourself and see why those particular functions were being run. If you can, gdb or a program like it can mean the difference between stomping the bug or beating your head against a brick wall for a week.
Oh, gdb is freeware; see http://www.gnu.org/directory/devel/debug/ for more info on free debuggers (mostly unix based).
