No... if you have fuel left before skimming, as soon as the sun masslocks you, hit the injectors and get in fast.
Once tanked-up, then you get out fast (either injector away and/or hyperspace out).

See here for other skimming tips.

Thank you

I presume you have external heat shielding ? If you have injectors (and some fuel left), use them for fuel-scooping. Yes, i have heat shields and witchdrive fuel injectors. With F injectors, I assume you are suggesting that I use them to speed away from the sun when i have a full tank but the cabin...

Installed NoFlare and Glare Clarifier ... looks good.

Thank you.

Hi commanders, Q : How can I remove the glare of the sun? I have downloaded a few Ambience OXPs but I cannot see from their description if they edit the appearance of suns. I tried to use my fuel scoops to Sun-skim, but blew up. I couldn't see if the sun was only in the lower half of the screen, due...

<nods> You need to misjump the wormhole just as you enter it - full pitch up!

Thanks, I will try it.
– I might end up in witchspace again with the navy and thargoids.

Also, I am in Xexedi... at last!

"misjumping", I assume this involves flying into that dark blue bubble left after they hyperspace?

The best thing about the Xexedi-Laenin run is the short distance - plenty of fuel for the burners!

Can't wait to get up there.

Just tried to cross west from Qubeen to Soladies... but discovered that it's further than 7 LR

... will have to turn north.

And as for the systems I trade between... Xexedi (TL 14 Confederacy) and Laenin (TL 4 Communist) in Galaxy Chart 1. OXP's affecting Rock Hermits will be found here : Rock Hermit (Oolite) Thanks everyone – awesome! I think I will now claw my way up to Xexedi in the top left of G1. I'm currently stil...

I believe this is only true if you have OXPs/OXZs installed which cause that behavior...

Does an add-on determine our ability to dock in a Rock Hermit... or does the add-on affect changing commodity prices in each system?

... you can buy cheap metals (and gemstones) at hermits ... I didn't know you can trade with them. They look too small to enter. I have observed ships flying out of them and shooting at me. How do you trade with them, do you enter them like a space station or approach them slowly like when using a ...

Thank you for posting guys. I was shuttling between Isinor and Quitiri for a long time. This enabled me to save up for better hardware. I must have read about it in a guide on this site. One of the first things I bought was Witchdrive fuel injectors, so I could burn past pirates. Then when I got my ...

Hi, I am currently still in Galaxy 1. Q : What's your 2 favourite planets to trade between? ... any Galaxy, thought G1 info would be handy because I'm still there. A Rich Industrial planet close to a Poor Agricultural planet is ideal for trading... but some pairs are boring, others may not be. Pleas...

In your original download of Oolite, is there not a folder named Extras? There is a BBC keys folder in there that contains the keyconfig.plist that you want. No OXP or OXZ necessary, you simply replace this one with the one inside the Oolite game package (control click Oolite to > Show Package Cont...

Hi Commanders, I have got back into playing Oolite on Mac again, and have downloaded the latest version (1.90) However, I have looked at trying to get a different key layout, so I don't have to use the cursor keys to fly around. The BBC key layout looks better. I have searched in this forum and have...

... but might your cargo bay be too full when you are trying to buy the passenger berth?

I emptied my cargo and it appeared. Thanks.

It takes up 5 cargo.
