Re: Sticky Wiki

How advanced is the space compass when it doesn't even show west on it? :P That's so obvious I couldn't even see that one. :lol: Note to self: Make space compass that actually is a compass. :idea: Which way is west anyway? Is it anywhere near the :arrow: "bad left side of ass" :?: :? I fi...

Re: Sticky Wiki

From the mission text at Biorle: ' as the jump countdown hit two, some nutter in a Fer-de-Lance on injectors ran right across my bow. I pulled up hard on the 'stick to avoid the bastard... next thing I know, the bloody klaxon's wailing, and I'm in interstellar space ... ' I hope that clue helps. I ...

Re: Sticky Wiki

Now you assume I come from the south, but am I coming from the south? Who knows? Who cares? I can see nothing in Oolite that reveals magnetic direction (nor even position with relation to the planetary orbital plane). There is no N, S, E or W. There is left, right, up and down, plus rotational cloc...

Eh? Your compass is showing a police ship (the purple dot) to your left, which is what I assume you mean by "West"?

Re: Sticky Wiki

Pretty clever, but not what I was looking for. When I google west, I find this fella:

But that is also not what I am looking for. What I need is 'west'on my compas. See, there is no 'west'

Re: Question about pirates

Greetings, Also remember that when you come into a system.. take a tangent of about 30 degrees, left or right for about 12 seconds, then head into the navigation beacon... this will get you off the main corridor and will usually have clean sailing without interference from most pilots out there.......

Re: Question about pirates

Thank you for your quick response. Will keep that in mind. I am generating money for all those upgrades, I just got me a large cargo bay.

Question about pirates

Hi there, I am new to Oolite. I used to play Elite on the C64 and Amiga and I found Oolite when I was googling for Elite. I love it, or well I did until now because I get my ass handed to me :lol: I was wondering if it is normal that pirates change condition from red to yellow. I got fugitive status...
