Thanks a lot! Expect a PM very soon.

One community member has volunteered as a tester via PM, and that's nice indeed. I need more people to perform that task, so please come forward if you're willing to contribute.

The FreeSpace Upgrade Project / Re: Calling FSU Contributors: Past & Present

Damn, I can't draw or design logos worth a damn, but it would be awesome if someone would do me the honor of designing a logo that had either three silver writing quills or three silver Mont Blanc Meisterstück pens (the latter would be preferred ) and title it "Three Silver Quills, LLP." as an homage to my father and grandfather, who are and were both lawyers like myself.

I feel like a heel for asking, but I'm curious to see if anyone could come up with an interesting logo with that theme. (Maybe three dark-grey or black Mont Blanc Meisterstück pens launched upwards at a 45-degree angle like rockets on a white background?)

I'd suggest "Su-tehp's Editing Service" as an alternative, but it doesn't sound anything like a spaceship-building corporation. Maybe "Su-tehp's Supervisory Systems"? (At least it's alliterative!) Actually, I think I like "Su-tehp's Supervisory Systems" more than "Three Silver Quills, LLP." Now I really wish I could design logos!

EDIT: Here's a crude first attempt that I made at Logo Makr.com

Sutehp's Supervisory Systems I couldn't figure out how to post the image from Google Docs, so you guys get the link instead. If anyone can take this and improve upon it, I'd be grateful. The reason this low res file exists is because I wasn't about to pay Logo Makr $19 for a single one time thing that is not my ideal idea for my logo.

I got a quick design I made in about 5 minutes, hope this is to your liking.

The FreeSpace Upgrade Project / Re: Colossus Cutscene Crowdsourcing

Public service announcement: Crew or squadron complement is spelled with an E.

And mind the difference between its and it's.

*doffs Grammar Inquisition hat*

Aside from that, these text blurbs look great.

Also, Mjn, one small change you can make to the Squadron Complement blurb, if there's still time for it: replace the word "accommodate" with "fit".

These screens are incredible. It's frankly quite amazing to see all the crowdsourced text fitting into the cutscene elements so well.

Meat packing plant in the netherlands had 25% of their workers sick from covid

was detected late becauseeeeee the bosses forced their employees to lie to health inspectors.

Anyway I'm looking at becoming a vegetarian now.

Jeebus, Mariana and Jehoshaphat. The world needs more workers' unions.

`

We have unions, the FNV in particular is large. But meat plants in general tend to rely on immigrant labour (in our case from the easternmost EU) and not speaking the language of the unions makes joining them quite difficult. Lot of these companies rely on the labourers not knowing their rights.
