Topic: Recommended Missions for a Greenhorn?
Replies: 3
Views: 2822

I did the LongWay mission, and would have done the Black Baron mission... But, by the time I got around to it, I was offered the Constrictor mission, and now I'm in Galaxy 2, and am doing the Ionics mission. I upgraded from the Cobra III to the Remorse of Conscience, and ran delivery contracts until...

Thanks! I finally started seeing them, but I've been making huge contract runs. So, I bought a Tiger. Then, I bought an Imp Cruiser...didn't like it and went back to my Tiger. Then, today, after making a 110000 Credits on a Delivery to the upper NorthEast quadrant, I stopped in at Tianve and found a...

One other thought: the Your Ad Here OXP looked like fun...but it stalled out my game a little bit, every time I hypered to a new location or left a Station, it would freeze for two or three seconds. When I removed the OXP (and all of its sub-module oxps) my game ran much better. I have a quad core M...

I'm still fairly new at this, but I've been adding OXPs to my 1.65; and I currently have: Commies.oxp CustSounds.oxp externalviews.oxp (which doesn't work with my current ship the Tiger nor my previous ship the Python Class Cruiser, but did work with the Cobra Mark III and the Imperial Cruiser) Fuel...

NoobyQ: Where do you find Boa 2 Cruisers?

I added the PCC a few days ago, have added everything except the Military Shields and the Galactic drive...but running Platinum and Gems Contracts constantly have given me a very nice nest egg. So, I've been looking for the next ship to upgrade to...I just haven't been able to find a Boa2 anywhere i...

Strangely I recall seeing Military Shields for Sale (upgrade from the First Shield upgrade) for about 45k at one station (with a tech level of 14?) but never came across them again. Is there a limit on how many upgrades you can put on a ship? I bought a PCC and bought all the available upgrades on t...

Thank you for the replies everyone! I've taken your advice, and have upgraded to the PCC...however, I still haven't been able to buy shields for it. Are they just available in certain systems? I am not sure the cargo runs are worth it now that I am delivering Platinum and Gemstones. But I do need to...

NOOB: Saying Hello, and have a few questions

Hi! I'm a terribly new at this, and wanted to say hello. I just discovered Oolite about a week ago; and have been having a great time with it. And, when I say, I'm terribly new...I never heard of Oolite or Elite before I followed a link from a Mac Games website. So I downloaded it(version 1.65 for t...
