I would guess the most hated question is not when will it be done, but rather can we have "real physics" or can we have an oolite MMORPG. ;) My vote for most hated request is "can I haz a laser cooler?" That one sure pops up enough. If you install a better fan in your pc, your l...

ok two more The hazards of late night oolite. I was flaying along carrying a passenger and decided to review the easiest way to get to my destination a ways away. So I hit F6 twice and look at different ways of getting there, and have to refer to F7 a couple times to see about govts, and at one poin...

Finding the target should remain the same, only the target strength increases over time. I assume you killed him by now. Jumping in and out will reset things so it won't harm. Embarrassingly enough, no I haven't yet. I have found a few boas, but they have been clean, and have not had a red star. Th...

I have done that before late at night. especially distressing when you dump luxuries, Hey I want that 96 cr back! I scooped it fair and square! Well, this one is kind of classic and tends to occur to newbies who are not yet that familiar with the keyboard commands... or to clumsy typists... ... appr...

The fun adventures with docking computers. I'm 20k away from a ConStore, I turn on the docking computers and head for the bathroom (sorry if this is TMI), while 'occupied' I hear the red alert alarm, some ship had decided to open fire on my ship while I was 'away'. I was on jump drive approaching ei...

I have found that the police tend to take their time responding to you. Their response is kinda spotty. I think they are better in more stable governments, but that may also be me imposing preconceptions on to the game.

Thanks Eric, It's always awesome to talk to the actual author. :) The first boa mission was pretty easy. I went to the first planet, was told I missed him and to go to a 2nd one. I went there, was told to go back, went back, found him and took him out. This time it's taking much longer. I will go to...

UPS Mission, Can't find Boa in a haystack

Hi, I'm hoping for useful hints. I am working on a UPS mission where I am looking for a fugitive boa in Ontiat. I have been combing Ontiat and Aronar for quite some time and while I have found quite a number of hostile craft, I have yet to find the red starred Boa to complete the mission. This is th...

Rear lasers can work well. Get a beam laser for the rear, it shoots for longer and it still seems to surprise the heck out of ships taking potshots at you from behind.

Missles will distract some of them for a bit if not take them out. People who don't like energy bombs seem to be ok with Q mines, if you have injectors you may want to try one of them.

Following some updates to models used in Asteroid Storm I've uploaded a version 1.2 to resolve any potential clashes. I can't replicate the crashes to desktop people are having - not sure if it's still shaders or if it's something else. I'll be ready to apply a fix once we know what the problem is!...
