Cargo Slingshot

Handy if you accidently start scooping a trumble cannister: Press the I key for a few seconds, and release, and said cannister shoots off into space. Even better if you can get lined up with another ship :twisted: (not been on target with that yet though) Also, since moving in moving into my trusty ...

Thargoid Space

Just a quickie... :D If one were to find oneself in Thargoid Space, are a set number of Thargoids spawned, or do they just keep coming? If the former, roughly how many? Disclaimer - I'm not at my Oolite PC (and probably wont be for a while), so I cant check the log file to see. I've got a vague idea...

I once had about 50+ kg's of platinum, and found that the price wouldnt go above 70 per kg (This was after many visits to various tech-level planets). I always assumed that Oolite was coded to do this. Anyway, I flogged half of it, and the next place I went got 78 / kg for the rest of it. Also, if y...

Cool.. Learn something new everyday :D Dont know how I managed to get that, as far as I knew the fuel scoop always made the "wupwupwupwupwup" noise.. I did wonder why metal fragments seemed to get sucked right at me though. :oops: Must have been on the Josher when I bought it. Will have to...

I managed to get offender status once by accidently testing out my new mining lasers on a space station :oops: Also once by picking up a tonne of narcotics after taking out a pirate, which I then forgot about, and left the coriolis with only that on board. D'oh! The local Gendarmerie weren't particu...

Ah, didnt think of it like that.

The only times I go to the sun to refuel, is when I am taking a passenger somewhere, and the sun seems closer than the planet, and I've nothing to buy/sell for a good price...

Solar Trips

First off, I'd just like to say thankyou to everyone involved for such a great game :D I used to play the original Elite on an Amstrad CPC6128, and managed to reach Dangerous, although that was with a little cheating, as I had about a 1% chance of manually docking successfully. Thankfully, with Ooli...
