BUG 0.9a You can see "hidden" system objects through system info screen
« on: November 24, 2018, 04:19:38 PM »
First bug report here.

So when you use the system information screen, where all of the objects are listed, you can see "hidden" pirate and LP bases.

Also, I feel that my username/password is not safe on this site, since password retreival can tell me my EXACT password.

USE A UNIQUE PASSWORD FOR THIS SITE, IT IS NOT SAFE.

1) The registration email sends you the password since it knows it at time of registration - you just entered it as a string. After that, it can't be retrieved.
2) It's a good idea to use a unique password anyway
