Oolite Bulletins

I want to try and bind currently unused keys to primable items. During a dogfight the last thing I want to have to do is mess with Shift-N. I have v1.84, installed using the installer from this website. The OS is Debian Unstable, running Plasma. I have a Keyconfig.plist file in /opt/Oolite but editi...

There was a thread about this some time back. You automatically uncloak when you fire.

This is by design,the Gods have spoken.

Mind you, the energy drain when cloaked has become so great that it's probably better this way. You need to rethink your strategies.

Hyperspace Travel Time is remarkably non-linear. You will appreciate the fastest/shortest alternatives when you have 6 or 7 contracts along a route and you don't want to end up with 4000 Kg Platinum which nobody wants.

Also be aware that work done on your ship takes time - often quite a lot of it.

but two spokes in a line would only be... a line.

That's what I meant. Central exhaust and a "line" out on each side.

In ASCII art:

Ah well. Let's just leave it at that.

Thanks and Cheers

Funny! Actually I AM on opoid painkillers following major surgery but really, I saw it!!!!!

Ah well, next time I'll not be so trigger happy and take a screenshot.

Cheers.

Something like that, but only two spokes in a straight line.

Thanks

Is there a Thargoid ship which is not flying saycer shaped?

Otherwise this is going to be one of those once only occurrences.

There only seemed to be Thargoids in Witch Space. However this ship was flagged as a Thargoid warship AFTER I jumped into normal space.

I took off from Intiso with 2 tonnes of Platinum destined for Axebe and had an engine malfunction which landed me in Witch Space among a lot of Thargoids. I didn't fancy a long fight so when one of them jumped out I followed through the Wormhole. When I arrived in normal space I was behind a strange...

The only other person I know who reads Pratchett is my daughter. I know there are millions out there but it's nice to meet others.

Maybe this will help: When the station comes into view, align it so that it is horizontal,. This usually works if you are approaching from the witch point or the planet. Then the docking port is at the blunt end. Approach with the station off centre to you so that the docking port will point towards...

I'd more or less got that but did not make the connection that the choice of destination would be automatic.

Maybe like Terry Pratchett's Trolls, my mental processes are slowed by high temperatures and it has been a hot summer here - and it's still unseasonably hot and muggy now

I got it, thanks!

I had not realised that switching on the map reflected what the ship would do next.

Thanks again.

I am not sure if this is a 1.82 feature or due to an OXP. If there are planets on the route to my next jump target then my ship will go to an intervening planet, NOT the one I targeted. I appreciate that this saves game time because of the shorter jumps but there are times when I don't want to bothe...

It probably is a matter of degree. I had just come off fugitive status and when I checked later I was refused docking while uncloaked and was able to do so cloaked.
