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
You will need a ship that is big enough.
By the way, that Jeff McAfee autopilot is an inspired discovery. Well done!

Re: Physical Dimensions of "Space Trader's Flight Training Manual"?
We apparently started using metric paper sizes such as A3/A4 back in 1971, two years before Edward Heath joined the EEC. And thirteen years before Elite.
What did we use before that? Post Folio? Post Quarto?

Any one else catch this last night? I got some ok pictures but my friend that lives a little farther north sent me this picture. https://i.postimg.cc/Bnf08jpF/9-AF2-B942.jpg Alas, our local light pollution clobbered it for me. But I did see it some years ago in Durham, and it was truly magnificent....

Re: Hull damage
Maintenance tune up for 1000 is now available. the other are still missing. repair by changing save did work. The 1,000₢ Maintenance tune-up is the standard (until you start kitting out your ship, and then the price starts going up). You might have bought the Emergency Hull repairs when you docked ...

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. The only way I found up to now was selling my Cobra Mk III and buying a smaller ship. You have Smivs' Battle Damage OXP loaded, and so should be be...

Re: Hull damage
I have taken a lot of hull damage, but I am unable to find any way to repair it. Can anyone give me hint what I am missing? "Hull damage" can refer to several different things. If you are referring to damage to your hull due to witchspace jumping and planetary landings then Mr Flibble's &...

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 ...

Re: Planetfall 2.0 (probably)
I was thinking more in terms of what one is actually flying through on the way down to the beacon. Would it be that difficult to create clouds/sandstorms/rainstorms/lightening storms to fly one's ship through? I'd would need to create a visual effect (which is the easy bit) that is then thrown up i...

Re: Planetfall 2.0 (probably)
Can one increase the turbulence on Zaatxe below (say) 5km - and possibly even add "sand" to the effects? As for the sand effects - yeah, not as sure. Not sure I could come up with something that wouldn't be immersion breaking. Signs are definitely pointing to "maybe", with regul...

Can one increase the turbulence on Zaatxe below (say) 4km - and possibly even add "sand" to the effects? I know you meant to write 4km, because that's where the red zone on the altimeter starts. And, my guess is the substantive answer is: yes, but it would be javascripted, not just tweaki...
