 within an hour of when they were destroyed. There was no change
 in the financial status of the ports (and the total wealth of all
 ports was under 200,000); there was no change in the daily log; the
 corporation was made of 4 goods.  Their sector was stuffed with the
 ships of aliens that they  captured; it had one level 2 or maybe 3
 planet. And the sysop interrupted one session while I was DL the
 CIM file to ask what I was doing.
 Your call-- do you want to say they saved up for it?
 And some people don't have to have a 2 by 4 hit them in the head
 before they learn how to duck.
