Latest stable on linux.
It doesn't bother me all that much, just a curiosity.
I don't know if it's related but I also get stars in front of large objects like planets and space-stations.

Missing suns

Some may remember me looking like an idiot asking how to find a sun to kill. I've realised that I can find suns, or more specifically their coronas, if I have reduced detail turned off. The body of the sun is always transparent, it looks just like the star-field behind it. Is this a known problem? O...

OK, after much ado I've managed to dock at Lave.

I think it's the correct side. I see a letterbox type thing with a row green lights down each inside wall and a set of four orange lights arranged in a cross at the end. Speed doesn't seem to be an issue. Could it be a bug? I'm running the latest stable for linux on SUSE, AMD64. I seem to remember t...

Gah!
Should have known. I did actually try checking behind me just now.
I'm in the default cobra mkIII with missiles (on safety) and 6t of cargo.
No banging, just a 'gurt-big crash' accompanied by the game over message.

Docking issues

Hi all. I'm fairly new to oolite but have been really enjoying it. At first I could dock no problem, now I'm stuck on Quitri with 400 (ish) Cr without being able to dock anywhere else.
