nuts! I totally missed that otherwise i wouldn't have wasted a ruby for a few K crystals.

Questions answered, thanks.

now, i don't suppose someone might be able to tell me what the green box around a debris field means.

I've only been on ZE for about 10 days but somehow I've lost 1 ruby. I did buy 100 and used most but can't figure out how or why 1 ruby's disappeared.

Also, my message centre shows -1 unread messages.

Any idea or explanations?

Thanks
