Personally, I wouldn't want to see any part of the ship, inside or out. Just a view of the docking tunnel would be great.

I'm with this, and it seems to me that it might even be easier that way. Also a generic launch tube would be fine unless a custom station defined something else.

Yes, "girls" play Oolite. One of the great things about Oolite is that it is not *just* a shoot 'em up game. . . Yes, there is skill involved, and you may have to defend yourself in the spacelanes, but that is not *all* there is to the game.

Ahruman, you have my deepest gratitude as well for all that you have done. Everyone here seems to think you are leaving completely, which would be sad. What I heard in your comment, however, was that you simply wanted to take a step back. Perhaps do more leading and less of the actual programming? C...

Matti, My Saitek centers just fine. I can have it in a hard turn and drop the stick and the cobby will fly straight and true. I have had this stick for "I am embarased to say" number of years, and started using it when I was playing FlightGear which is an open source flight sim (and a good...

You do know that not all of us are fellas. . .

Wildeblood, I do have to say. . . That ship is pretty!

Does handle twist?

Yes, it does. Note that I mentioned a twist axis for yaw. . .

I also would have gone for a fourth option. I can dock without it, but would rather my game time be spent elsewhere. . . Oh, and if I get in enough of a furball, it may get shot off, so where would I be then?

I use this one when I’m using a stick. I'm on a laptop so I only use a stick at home, and even then, only on some of my characters. Hard to carry a stick with you in a laptop case. . . This has a twist axis for yaw, throttle, hat and lots of buttons. centers just fine in Debian Linux

Personally, i have found that cheats tend to make the game far less interesting to me, so I do not use them generally.

OTB, your signature needs to have the line:
Always listen to experts. They will tell you exactly what cannot be done and why. Then do it.

Ensoreus to Ararus is my favorite. If you travel off the beacon you will encounter few hostiles, in either place. However, if you wish to practice your gunnery, you can travel down the main chute and pick off pirates along the way. I recommend the latter, only after you have hardened up your ship a ...

Hi CmdrGumbo and welcome to the forum, Probably you are the first person to be in OOlite IRC and than join the forum

Actually, no. I came in that way as well.

OTB, you have a sick sick mind. . . I like it!

Amazing job - given that not so long ago - such things were considered impossible! They're a bit overwhelming but as a proof-of-concept - simply stunning. Does this remind anyone else of what Braben and Bell were told when they demo'd Elite to a few big game houses? OTB, you seem to be in very good...
