Oolite Bulletins

Wow, thanks for the responses guys... I would like to try some of your sugestions, I have some questions about them... Bounty Hunter: How can I get a mission? Can I talk with a police ship or what? I will try Random Hits OXP. Install Random Hits - this will add another type of space station you can...

Welcome aboard - seek out rock hermits, as they often have very low prices on metals and gems (and occasionly they'll pay top-dollar for narcotics and/or furs). And Liquor/Wines.
