Re: I need help with ship editing

Thank you all for being so helpful, people! I've gone to 1.77 and it works just fine. Regarding the changes to cargo space etc, I've done them and they work now. Couldn't have made it without your tips ("shift thingy" etc :-) ) The other data I was looking for (shield strength, laser power...

Re: I need help with ship editing

Might one ask why? Oh... and welcome aboard. Because I figured it's more stable that way, read somewhere that it's XP optimised. And thank you! After your changes, did you restart Oolite with the shift key held down until the spinning Cobra appears? If not, you need to. No, I haven't. What does it ...

Hi all, I'm new here, but not in the world of Elite. Starting in 1986, I've made the Elite status three times. On C64 in the original game, then on Amiga 500 in Frontier and Amiga 1200 in Close Encounters. And that, in my eyes, give me the right to - for the first time in Elite - try to mod two thin...
