Oolite Bulletins

And that reminds me of a Family Guy scene:

Stewie: So tell me, is there any tread left on the tires or is it more like throwing a sausage down a hallway?

How does one change the look of the gunsight crosshairs on the screen? I would like my crosses to be closer together in the center, where they cross. There is too much space there for my taste.

A very big part of my docking problem is the touchy controls. I tap a key but the ship moves way more than I want to. Hence my other thread about changing the sensitivity of the keys.

But thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks, Selezen. I did see that entry and wondered if the checksum took that field into account when adding up the checksum. But I'll give it a try. Also, to ease your discomfort, I do enjoy a challenge, but if I continually and consistently fail at docking (i.e. I have no talent for docking whatsoe...

Since it has been so long since I played, what are 2 good, safe but profitable planets to trade between for a beginner?

I'm referring to galaxy 1.

I have Oolite 1.65 for Windows XP. I first played this game on the Commodore 64 in 1983. I was never good at docking. I always had my friend (it was his game and his C64) do the docking until I had enough cash to buy a docking computer. Is there a way to hack the save file (which is XML) to add a do...
