Well, thanks. I did eventually do it after 3 attempts - on the first 2 I was attacked and destroyed in the approach.

It is not easy if you don't know howto and at first would seem to be impossible. It was the vertical down/up view that was the key to it but I didn't know about the "v" key.

Thanx for the fast response. What a great forum this is for helpful members, and I have been on a few that are not so great, so I do know.

Planets & Tech Levels

I'm trying to find a tech level 15 planet in system 1. Short of clicking on every planet - I tried but life's too short - is there a list of planets with their tech levels? If not does anyone know the name of such a planet in system 1? It is a mission of sorts after all.

Well, I just don't know. I have pitch, roll and yaw, all on the keyboard as per instructions. Whatever I use the angled orientation always stays. Fly up from different angles and directions, use all the controls. You must all have a different program to me.I even went out and bought a joystick but t...

While aligning, please take into account what I said above about the difference between your viewpoint and your ship's centre. It's like driving a car. Your driver seat is excentric, either on the left side or on the right side of your car. If you try to drive through a small gate in a way that you...

What do you mean by "docking ports"? You are simply supposed to fly into the big structure, which is best done from either of its two ends. As the fuel station doesn't roll, turn, or perform any manoeuvre, but stays perfectly still all the time, there shouldn't be any problem here. That o...

That can be done. If you open the oxp folder, go to the scripts folder and find fuelStation_stationSetup.js. Make a backup copy of this file, and then in a text editor (not notepad or M$ word - try wordpad or notepad++), open up the original version. Up at the top you'll see this.startUp = function...

Tried it. Still doesn't get orientation right if station at an angle. Perhaps it would be better if I could turn off fuel station & just get fuel satelite if that were possible.

I'm running a BoaClass cruiser and no it cannot turn. Pitch = Up/Down, Roll = Rotate around an axis, hyence no turn. If an approach is made head on and the alignment is off, say to the side not in the centre there is no way to correct this with the current controls. I'm using the arrow keys, up/down...

Hi I installed and bought Hyperradio as per instructions and added to the js script as below. When I first undock I press F7 and a connection is established. The same piece of music plays for a few seconds then stops. I assume it is sample A or B. I press F7 again and the whole thing freezes without...
