Oolite Bulletins

You need to use "ExtraFuelTank" to avoid docking en route . You forgot to mention sun-skimming and Fuel-Stations as alternatives.. :wink: I have found that I prefer ferrying passengers to trading at least early on. If you make your deadline, your reward is fixed and you see more of the ga...

If you have a docking computer, you can ident the space bar and then Shift C to dock with the idented object. It works with Black Monk Monasteries.

Ah, well I'm not a coder, so I wouldn't know that. I'm just posting neat things as I find them.

Easy, you don't even need fancy equipment. When on the carrier screen (F8-F8), select the one the passenger/cargo you are interested in and then press 'SHIFT ?' it will take you immediately to the Galaxy Chart with the destination planet selected, so so you can see how far away it is in a graphic se...

So if you have the nav equipment that shows the quickest way to a point on the galaxy map by using ^ (shift 6) (advanced sensor array ?) and you have a destination on the other side of the galaxy (10,000 cr!!) you can press '*' while holding down shift 6 and it will make a screenshot of that route s...

Maintainence log book...
I just spent 1400 cr on a maintenance overhaul that I'm not really sure did anything.

doh, learn something new all the time.

The reference sheet says that if I have Advanced Space Compass an 'N' or a 'W' should appear by the compass when I am near a Nav Buoy or Witchspace beach respectively
and a 'Z' for a free trade zone wiith the FTZ OXP.
But I don't ever see letters for any of those items. am I missing something here?

Chrisfs, go 90 degrees from the space lane to avoid traffic, then after a while you won't be mass locked anymore... sometimes, the shortest distance isn't a straight line... :P Thanks, actually I know that trick, but sometimes, it;s good to have a bit of time to do something else (yes I could use t...

jumping into a random witchspace cloud just to get out of the area ?

that landed me into an anarchy world

Nowadays, Oolite is unique, in that there are points of the game where you can go and get other short things done. Things I have done while mass locked, cleaned my room, brushed my teeth, checked my email, facebook, oolite boards, checked my stocks (I think in GB you call them shares) ,called people...

Thanks

Landing on a rotating thing is much more difficult than landing on a stationary thing. And even rotating itself would not be an issue if it were a round rotating thing, so you wouldn;t be faced with match it or collide with the walls, you would go in with tons of room to spare (remember each space s...

This is what generation ships are for.

I have recently run into mine sweeper satellites. I can't find any reference to them in the wiki.
What are they ?
