Oolite Bulletins

Yeah, great screenshots! That's how I get most of my kills. Oh, I die a lot by the way...

My tape version was also annoying in that the lead joining the cassette player to the computer didn't have a lead to go into the headphone port so I uesd to put several pillows and some books on the speaker to drown out the noise! Honestly it was all more trouble than it was worth, but having very b...

On Oolite I've recently gone up to dangerous after completing the Constrictor mission. The long haul starts now! A long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away), I used to play the original Elite on a house shared BBC and got up to deadly but the top rank eluded me and then I moved house. All my victory...

Thanks for all the help folks. The reference sheet was a revelation - I've always wanted to dump cargo (such as picked up food or textiles say) and make room for something better and now I can.
Why did I never see it before?!?!

Smiv, I'm very glad that you have seen it as I thought I was going a bit crazy!

Hee, hee! Just happened again! This time I was looking at my cargo inventory, went back to Foward view just in time to. . . well you can guess the rest! Again, my ship was not rotating at the crucial stage. I wonder if it's the PA Groove Station OXP as it never happened before I installed it. I got ...

Last comment from me on this I think: I removed all the OXPs (not because of this wierd but harmless thing) and have not seen it since, so it's sort of fixed.

After a good long haul, collecting lots of cannisters and killing lots of pirates, I finally came into port with a full load. There was that lovely sense of relief as I pressed C, put my feet up and picked up something to read whilst waiting to auto dock. I looked up a few minutes later just in time...

Still get a bit mixed up with my controls. Recently was coming in nicely for a landing "Yeah, looking good!" and decided to fire my fuel injectors instead of the brake - wasn't really even annoyed at my death as the sight of my Cobra crashing into the space station at about mach 2 was hila...

OK! It's not one type of ship. I have seen several types do it. Playing a bit earlier and had a Cobra 3 coming right at me facing the wrong way. After we passed I looked behind to look at it and she slowly, almost gracefully, flipped over to face the right way, without slowing down, and carried on i...

Hello!
I don't think it's one type of ship but I'll have a closer look if it happens again. One time it was 3 or 4 all in formation which suggests they could have been police. I'll take a bit more notice next time and put up another post if it happens again. Like you say. . weird!

I'm very new to this game so maybe this has reported many times but occasionally NPC ships are going through space backwards. It doesn't seem to affect the game (although I haven't picked a fight with one so would that cause problems?) apart from looking odd. I'm on 1.74.2 with Commies, Dictators, B...

REALLY good idea, all this. Who hasn't made a mistake with their guns? Now if you could only lock down the fuel injectors the same way - well, not really but I have used them instead of the brake by accident. Still, hurtling into the station at mach 2 was very, very funny!
