I read in another thread "the (player's) ship IS the game.." Would the pilot therefore still be flying their original ship, with the captured ship as booty, or flying the captured ship? I will look up earlier post and see how the dockable debris was explained It arose in some OXP which I m...

I tried altering the accuracy to 5, to 0, and back to 10, but behaviour was the same. The interception missile (intercept-missile, Missiles and Bombs v0.5.oxp), had no accuracy integer that I could see -- but I could've been looking in the wrong place -- but it is the most accurate. Std hardhead als...

AppleWorks works fine under Leopard I don't doubt you, just didn't have AppleWorks any more to install! Once 10.3.9 re-installed, everything was fine. Also, I now have a copy of AppleWorks obtained in the States. Leopard was installed by AppleCentre, and came back with no AppleWorks. None of their ...

Having taken advantage of the financial services offered by this fraternity, and being certain of a fair deal - having read their promotional material, and listened to their advertising broadcasts - imagine my surprise when, although only a month overdue, one of their holy spacecraft drew near my Fa...

:shock: o.m.g. i dont visit stations at all when on a contract! ..don't use cascade missiles, either, only coz they hardly ever reach their target before something else happens -- and at 10,000 a pop a trader ship is mandated to pay for the things; anti thargoid missiles = similar performance: it's ...

Thank-you for your interest :) Yes, I have tried this, supplied by an AppleCentre, but it won't open MacDraw files. There were a few others, too. iWorks will open MacDraw files if they have been pasted onto a spreadsheet - we discovered at a PremiumReseller outlet during a lengthy episode of experim...

<sigh> well you will be pleased to hear that the ?v2 i.c. is flying around here quite satisfactorily -- it is cool as a pirate, good at scooping cargo :) and so far has blasted several BlackMonkGunships, without blowing up itself (because they won't lend me any money, or sell me anything :evil: HA!...

anti docking computer
..well I'm not pro- or anti- anything, really, but enjoy Oolite in all its guises: trader, pirate, bootlegger etc.

As regards docking computers, I rarely get to use them cos I'm usually loaded up with narcotics :D but do greatly appreciate SHIFT-D when it is available!
