More thoughts: * A metaserver listing all servers. * Ability to change servers while docked. * More powerful .oos'cripting (like mission screens allowing dynamic data, for server news maybe or hi-scores). But maybe the focus should be put first in a simple in-game "download/remove/update/disabl...

IFrom there would would be able to move the camera around by zooming and rotating, so that you could get any angle you liked while you were out there, always with your ship as the focus. The problem with that (for me) is the number of key presses it requires to move the viewpoint and manoeuvre the ...

DISCLAIMER: I haven't played the original Elite, and i don't know if this has been suggested yet but... i've played some elite version in which the cargo pods were very bright (the were brighter than stars) so... What about blinking lights in the cargo pods? As a way of "Highlighting of cargo p...

I am with Odo987 : Lasers should be top and bottom. In this case, they would really become very usefull. Maybe in the OXP should there be an option to tell where should be the laser mounting (and thus which direction we should look at with the F1 to F4 keys) The view directions can be changed in th...

I've never been able to use them either. I've always wished there were top or bottom laser mounts. The roll-pitch combination would make them uniquely controllable. I've got a military laser front and aft, but a top or bottom mounted mining laser would be very welcome. bottom mounted laser! would b...

Come to think of it, others ought to be using the same logic for refuelling, so there ought to be a sparesly-populated witchpoint->sun lane. Actually, anybody who is near to a station doesn't needs to go to the sun to refuel (fuel prices in Oolite are very cheap). It makes much more sense to popula...

Mouse control: more mouse buttons + mousewheel

Hi I tried the mouse control (shift-m while fullscreen) and found that with only one hand in the keyboard it was a bit difficult to get to the keys at the other side, especially fuel injection (i), and less important others like missile firing (m) or radar de-zooming (shift-z) too. So i thought it w...

Re: About Escape Pods and Crew Members ...

I mean, i think this should be enhanced: a) you may be paid more than regolar slave price by insurance company) Wasn't there in some version of Elite (don't remember which) a "lawful" rating and a "criminal" one too? If you had enough rating you could do more complex/better_payi...

Input (SDL only?) problems with consecutive mission screens

I am noticing input "stuckiness" when selecting an option in consecutive mission screens. That is, i click return selecting an option in mission_screen_1, and then the default option of mission_screen_2 gets selected. I have made a test oxp (available on demand) with 5 consecutive mission ...

@oO: Do you think we could please have them posted under new topic titles rather than appending them to this one topic. Then I could work through the issues with each small change at a time.
