I absolutely *&^%$#@! HATE Esmerelda

[Hugh Manatee]

It'd be neat if you could try and steal stuff from planets, and they send a fleet after you to intercept...

But yeah, Sometimes, even though it hurts the score, I sell esmerelda to the klakar if I'm short on cash and need something cool... or dump her on a forsaken turd of a planet...

Can anyone verify this? I think that she takes the most recent item (the one lowest and right-most in your collection). I've found that I can move stuff from the front of the list to the back and she'll steal that stuff (one-star crummy animal stuff) and leave my true prizes alone.

Haven't gotten a total verification on this.

I've tried that in the past and it doesn't always work.

It worked every time until I posted. Then it stopped working. Go figure.

Tonight I had a game where she stole something I really like (the Gong, I think). I had hyperspace, so I immediatly traveled to every homeworld, found it, and bought it back.

The trick still works most of the time so I still juggle stuff around.
