Oolite Bulletins

No, not lasers which play music... :roll: To quote: Beam lasers [...] The weapon itself is made up of 150 laser tubes which are fired together. The Military Laser, despite the marketing hype, is nothing more than a beam laser with additional laser tubes. Consequently, its wattage is much higher - an...

I've recently installed the Combat Simulator OXP but found an interesting glitch: You can increase your Rating by commiting suicide! Out of frustration in a fight I couldn't *quite* win (I kept almost killing my opponent, but couldn't land the last shot and he kept zipping off until his shields reco...

Thanks for that.

I've just realised there was a thread for this expansion, so I've copied my post there and was about to delete this one, except it wouldn't let me as you'd replied to it!

Hi there, Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but I've just found this game and remember wasting spending many hours playing the original Elite, so had to download it! :) What I'm trying to do is to find out how to map the Zoom/ Unzoom keys onto my Joystick (ProFlight USB JS282) as it's very an...
