..of course be pylon-mounted does it have to be pylon mounted? the e-bomb was a prized add-on with the BBCmicro, because there wasn't really anything else - a bit like the difference between a steam locomotive (agricultural variety) and a modern tractor the 19th century vehicle had bells and whistl...

Have you tried using an SOS beacon? Last time I had one I triggered it when carrying a consignment of firearms & narcotics (accidently) ! ! ! you never saw such a rapid response!

Thanks for those replies which were so interesting that I forgot what my original question was: I have now re-read it, and - if I understand correctly - including NO DATA regarding sky_blur_whatever (in planetinfo.plist) (when I add objects) will have NO EFFECT on any other oxp's that DO want to cha...

When I add an object somewhere in Oospace, there is an opportunity to alter the appearance of the background sky, by including something like "sky_blur_alpha" = "0.15"; "sky_blur_cluster_chance" = "0.15"; "sky_blur_scale" = "725"; in planet...

I enjoyed the economics in G7, especially after locating that hockey team! Where were they? To pass the time I did a bit of narcotics running in the vicinity, and was having so much fun that when the team turned up - as they did - I'd almost forgotten why I was there.. Have you visited a gas giant? ...

it fixed the Override and Lawmaker missiles :?: what was wrong with them? I thought they worked great! (the missiles & bombs I have is "Missiles and Bombs v2.2.oxp") The Thargoid bomb just seems to divide into 4 slow-moving objects which diverge sort of randomly. They are far slower t...

I lurve Q-mines Don't get on too well with Cascade Missiles, they never seem to work - due mainly to my poor deployment skills - with the target witchspacing out' the joint before missile detonates. Or something. Interception missiles. Great! Lawmaker missile - Grrreeat!! (esp. when used in conj. wi...

I have a PCC (this one: Python Class Cruiser 2.6.oxp) and it's fitted with both shield boosters. There was no trouble buying them. My ship data table lists the Python Class Cruiser as being able to fit all eqpt. I didn't know the MilShield might be unavailable when I had it fitted. There is a very g...

oh, I didn't mean the storyline - I meant reopening a wormhole is what happens when you press "H" (if you are in witchspace) because the engine malfunction is caused by the Thargoids, not by a faulty engine it would need energy to reopen, and that energy comes from fuel however a thought o...

Can't you hit "H" and continue your journey anyway?

..or "G"

If you are about to get killed you still have the option to flee, drop a q-bomb or witchspace. All much more rewarding than hitting tab and walk away. comment: if you are a new Jameson just getting used to your cobra and desparate for docking computers, you don't really have those options because y...

I'm making some flights in an adder with ¢ 100 and can't afford an energy bomb yet. After a few more trips I could be in the market for one -- or there might be something urgenter (not really thinking about that yet). In this vessel with only one pylon mount -- although I'm not wasting money on miss...

great! - I will continue matching low albedo objects..

I'm selling gemstones at HoOpy Casino + buying furs there/sell at Rich Industrial anywhere

Adder not very RAPID!



later edit: now have ¢10,000 but it's going to take ages to afford a ship that will carry a bit more cargo (considering Adder Mk II)
