Re: Beyond the Constrictor mission.

... but I quite like my Supercobra. Ah yes, I forgot about the super-ships... definitely better! I added the Cobra3 XT & what a mean SOB it is. Not quite got enough credits yet (WAY cheaper than the Super Cobra @ 300,000) but had to uninstall it as it kicked my ass almost every time I came acro...

Re: Beyond the Constrictor mission.

As it happens, now that you've done the Constrictor Mission, there are still 3 more 'native' missions to look forward to .. one of them right in G3, in fact.. :wink: (For Ionics, you'd need to work your way back around to G2) As long as there are still native missions to be had, I will keep roaming...

Beyond the Constrictor mission.

Well this old out of retirement Commander aint so rusty after all. Currently in Galaxy 3 after sorting that elusive Constrictor. So what next for this Dangerous Commander? Are there more missions? Popped off a few Thargoid robot ships here & there but no sign of any Thargoids. Seem to remember ...

Re: Ship recomendations.

Ok - a couple of weeks in 80+ kills & a well equipped Cobra. Been doing effective milk runs & collecting bounty but to trade in I have enough to buy.....a Cobra Mk3 :shock:

How on earth do you get enough credits to buy another ship without using cheats?

Re: What's with the Strawberry on the HUD?

OK.....I know the answer will make me say 'DUH' :oops: but for the life of me I cant figure out what the icon on the HUD (deepspaceHUD) that is above the scanner - it is a green dot over a wide V and the bottom bit is Green when docked & sometimes Green in flight but mostly is Red which makes i...

Re: New, a bit overwhelmed, but interested in learning

Okay guys, thanks again. I'm going to just fly around for a bit then, and see what I can see. :) Hi Mike, I joined a week ago after playing Elite some 30+ years back. The thing most find at the start is docking without a docking computer (you will need some decent trade runs to buy one) and blowing...

Re: Deep space communications so slow

No worries.. won't be too long before your Cobby is kitted up.. Out of curiosity, how did you manage to find Oolite? Yeah the credits are racking up. I have been playing the awesome 'Sins of a Solar Empire' for ages & keep looking for something as good. Played Nexus but just didn't grab me, so ...

Not on the forum I moderate, they're not.. :wink: :mrgreen: But then, we have much more efficient pre-signup-approval checking systems in place than the Oolite BB does. 95% of the spammers are caught by the automated checking scripts.. the few who manage to fool those get inspected by an Admin befo...

G'day and welcome aboard, Commander Uzi! 8) we are running on a first post moderator approval rule for anti-spam reasons. Do new members get a message explaining that little detail when they join? If not, it may be a good idea to send them one. No it didn't but I knew what the issue was as I run my...
