Re: Am annoyed about fixed lasers
Hiran - I'm not sure I quite understand your point. But if I do, have you tried turrets on any of your ships?
Yasen-N Turret

Re: Hull damage
I got hit by Lasers. My hull bar in the HUD shows 50% left. AS far as i understand it my ship will exploded if this reaches 0%. So I want to repair it.

Re: Sizes and scale in Oolite (again)
Just to think through the above. Hiran's comparison ( very helpful - a useful starting point) 1) The aircraft carrier is much smaller than a Coriolis. (The greatest dimension, length is 1/3 that of the diameter of a Coriolis). 2) The aircraft carrier does not carry the families of the servicemen (I ...
