Re: Why Johnny can’t code

Smivs. Agree totally - a generation of office admin power users have been created. I don't want to slag off any software in particular, because it has its important uses, and it just gets overused and improperly used a lot of the time. drew. That looks brilliant, I will be showing this to my nephew :)

Re: Why Johnny can’t code

From my experience of the education system, the problem is the lack of correct exposure. Way too many consoles and way too many smartphones make the inner workings of computing seem alien to kids. Also, I think there isn't a sufficient standard of programming knowledge in the educators of many schoo...

Re: External docking and Loading/Unloading

Of course the other problem is how would you attach to the outside of a rotating station! Well...I'm just thinking out loud here...but perhaps some type of docking where alignments used in "In-Air" refuelling are used, or maybe a HUD graphic that needs alignment to a specific point on the...

Re: External docking and Loading/Unloading

Smivs,
That's exactly what I meant, sort of reminded me of some old Arthur C Clarke depictions of Space in the future, ships docking externally at a Torus space station. But I mainly thought it would offer another option for docking, and larger dock-able ship classes, some more variety I guess.

Re: External docking and Loading/Unloading

Thanks Smivs, I was just curious. ;)
JazHaz, it still amazes me how much customization there is available through OXP's. :)

External docking and Loading/Unloading

Hi,
Are there any OXP options for external docking and loading/unloading of cargo?
I was thinking along the lines of the ISS, and perhaps accommodating ships with dimensions greater than the docking port.

cheers.

Re: Moar trunk stuffffff (or drunk?)

Thank you Diziet ;) just a quick story...how times have changed...I was telling my 12 year old nephew about the horrors of 8 bit computing, and the joys of docking on a Spectrum. Nonchalantly, he said, give me a go...so off he went and installed Oolite on his laptop. I gave him a quick rundown on bu...
