Q. I lost my connection to Galactic Trader. When I reconnected some time later, it said that I was already in the game. What do I do?
A. Wait about 1.5 hours and you will be able to enter. The game is set up this way to prevent cheating, through purposely dropping one's link. Normally, if you reconnect within an hour you will see a message asking you to reconnect to an active session:

    You have the following disconnected process:
Terminal   Process name    Image name
VTA1724:   _VTA1724:       DQA0:[GALTRADER.][000000]GAL-TRADER4.EXE;12
Connect to above listed process [YES]:
