Re: Pale Moon browser

Firefox to me seemed like it started to wobble around on the rails ever since it change to the rapid update schedule they do now. And of course every so often it goes completely off the rails entirely.

Seriously considering giving Pale Moon a shot as I'm getting fed up with Firefox as a whole.

Re: Squeaky clean assassins.

That actually doesn't happen very often. It's just whenever it does it's memorable because I know I'll have a few thousand in fines to clear my 4 credit bounty that I just picked up because they saw me land a hit on the assassin before the assassin landed a hit on me. And I actually assist law enfor...

Re: Missile malfunction - bug or feature?

The way a missile ought to be fired is when it's created it inherits the creating objects speed and direction at the point of launch, but is also given another boost perpendicular to the direction of travel to get it away from the ship. Then when the engine kicks in it can accelerate/decelerate what...

Re: New joystick joy

It uses the old joystick adapter (15 D pin I think), but it's also an analog device, which apparently makes it harder. There used to be a chip you could buy to convert it, but even then the drivers won't work on 64-bit OS's. So, other than ripping out all the internal circuitry and retro-fitting th...

Re: Squeaky clean assassins.

I will return fire, however, and I get penalized for being a better shot than the assassin is. No.. you're getting penalised for letting a cop see you shooting at them when your own reputation with the cops isn't the best.. helping the cops out whenever possible will also help in this regard. See c...

Re: Squeaky clean assassins.

And I really hate that all of them are "clean". That fact has cost me a few thousand bucks because I managed to land a hit on them before they landed one on me in the presence of a Viper or two. That's easily fixed.. don't shoot first.. :mrgreen: On the spacelanes I never shoot first if t...

Re: New joystick joy

I recently upgraded from keyboard+Saitek Cyborg Evo to a Thrustmaster T16000M and CH Pro Throttle. It's so much nicer.

Re: Squeaky clean assassins.

I don't get why I never get jumped by a rather large pirate gang that's been hired in a desperate attempt to off me in that one last Anarchy system I go through on my way to my drop off point. And I really hate that all of them are "clean". That fact has cost me a few thousand bucks becaus...

Re: Red alert auto-docking

I got tired of waiting for docking clearance after I figured out that "please hold for docking clearance" meant "wait for all the slow as molasses ships on scanner to take their sweet time docking and then wait some more because we didn't actually put you in the current docking queue,...

Re: Main Employment

I do courier contracts. Take enough of them on at once and you're in for at least one big fight before you deliver all of them. I always go straight from witchpoint to station. That way I run into idiot pirates who think they can take me. If they abandon ship, I salvage it for extra cash. If my hold...

Re: Does anyone else kill the 'Mass locker?'

If I went to the trouble of making damn sure I'm not on one of the three main routes and I run into something that mass locks me, it's getting laser masslock removal treatment from Dr. Military Laser.

Re: Damage Report MFD

Works like you said. Previously it had been hiding after 60 seconds even when I'd put it on manual when there was nothing wrong and popping up in an MFD slot I didn't want it in after I'd assigned it to a different one. That was all in-flight though. Not through the hud and mfd interface.

Re: Damage Report MFD

Would there be a way to either set the MFD to always on Set the Damage Report MFD mode to "Manual", then use the ";" key to select a slot, then use ":" to cycle through the MFD's until the Damage Report MFD is visible. And, as others have mentioned, you can use the HUD...

Re: Damage Report MFD

Would there be a way to either set the MFD to always on, or to set which MFD slot it will pop up in when there is damage to report? I'd like it to pop up in the bottom left corner of my hud instead of the slot just below the top left :)
