The time taken for Maintenance Overhauls can be shortened by initiating the overhaul, then doing a quick save.
When you reload your commander, your ship is fully repaired, but the timestamp has only advabced a short time and not the full time required for the overhaul.

I don't know why, but he just does not see 'just playing a game' as a challange. He, like all his friends, want to go on-line to kick a real persons ass (as he puts it). Ahh..... teenagers. Send him out of Lave to Leesti with a fresh Cobra MkIII and 100Cr to his name. Tell him to pull back on his j...

Q-bomb. You know you want to.

So is there any mods etc for oolite that will let me 'fly to the moon and back?'

Thanks

There is a mod that allows you to play any tune whilst docking, so you could dock to the sound of Sinatra singing.

It said 'CLICK TO PLAY" and all I got was a video.

Don't put a name in there.

Put a rank.

One possible way to transfer cargo would be to record the amount of each commodity loaded in the ship and then awarding that to the player after he's transferred to his new ship. Thoughts? It would be rather difficult transferring 750 tons from an Anaconda to a Cobra - unless you can a hire u-haul ...

HI, If your pressed for time it's also quicker to 'sun hop' rather than landing at the station, you also avoid the usual rush hours in the standard space lanes. Make sure you have a heat shield before getting fuel from the sun, or you'll have a bit of a sun burn that even camomile lotion won't help...

Will the present me be able to warn a future me that I'm about to ambushed by past me?

If I eat my Shreddies will my ship fly faster?

hehe.
I nearly always go for the Condors, Constitutions and anything big when I see them.

A hint
Get a docking computer

Similar thing happened to me once. I came across a Supercobra - which was what I was also flying. As I hammered it with my millaser, I heard lasers hitting me. This was odd as there were no other ships around and the enemy SC was getting it on the belly so it couldn't have been him. I noticed that e...

Absolutely. If you're making a jump into an Anarchy, make it a short one! There's very little that's worse than having to run through a bad-news system with nothing in the tank but fumes ...

Or buy an external fuel tank which mounts on a missile pylon.

Here's what I worked out

Distance = INT(SQRT(INT(ABS(x_dest - x_start))^2+INT(INT(ABS(y_dest - y_start))/2)^2))*0.4

x_start, y_start : x, y co-ords of start planet
x_dest, y_dest : x, y co-ords of destination planet

Maybe it's mutated into a Troomble

If the oolite ships are measure in metres, then they are huge! http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=wa16+9jn&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=15.372765,32.036133&ie=UTF8&ll=53.243007,-2.403919&spn=0.001897,0.003911&t=h&z=18 This is whe...
