This save has been started nearly 10 years ago. I love palm os and even used this very palm treo 650 to replace a broken galaxy note 2.

I continued this save like a week ago (a gnat a 20k credits) and proceeded to do every mission that I know of.

Traded a bunch, even used the termite to haul narcotics and flee police.
Finally bought a wasp.
Luckied out on the space warp event (a black hole saved my bacon) and got the singularity drive.
Used it to Speedrun the Gemulon alien invasion. Installed the compactor on my wasp.
Killed the dragonfly and installed its shield on my wasp.
Finally found effin professor Berger after encountering about 200 mantis.
Got the computer from the diplomat.
Visited every system.
Did the medicine run to Japori.
Killed the space monster of Acamar in two runs.
Got to buy the Utopia moon.

Killed about 50 pirates with the fully kitted wasp (and targeting computer) got competent rating, couldn’t be arsed to farm pirates at the risk of losing the best Wasp you could get, so I found the Utopia moon event, bought it and streamlined there. I just never went criminal, and avoided the merchant prince event. Also never encountered the scarab quest, but I wonder if the normal difficulty is to blame.

No deaths, no cheats, and sub 300 days (which surprised me)

Memorable moment : 45 narcotics run at +1800cr each, to a militarist system. Was a ride.

Nobody cares about a 20 years old game on a 15 years old dead platform, but here we are.

    Damn now that is dedication.

    I loved my Tungsten T2 and the overall Palm OS. Tries my luck with an auction bought Tapwave Zodiac 2 some years ago but I was unable to use it’s Sync capabilities and the SD card didn’t read at all. The device felt nice though, just as I imagined it would be when I was still in college and wished to have it back then.

      My dad used to daily drive a Centro (the last ever palm os device, a phone) until like 5 years ago. He still misses the productivity suite and the overall responsiveness of the system.

        Productivity Suite as in Documents2Go or just the usual PIM suite by Palm? Because both of them were awesome.

        Also adding Blazer to the mix and you had a very smarty non smartphone :D
