Re: Equipment “Sell Item” Color

Could it be possible also show too expensive items (cost more, than I actually have) in gray color? Example: Normal start at Lave (100 Cr) the Missile (30) will be yellow ( buying possible ), Large Cargo Bay (400) and E.C.M. System (600) will be gray ( too expensive ). With 1000Cr all three will be ...

Re: Survey: What is your Oolite playing style?

I usually start with Normal setting, or with some harder (like Broke Adder), then I avoid all problems, shoot Asteroids (each Cr counts) and when possible I trade until I have full Cargo Bay of Computers/Furs and 400+ Cr, then I buy Large Cargo Bay and slowly buy the most basic equipment (while main...

Re: [Beta] Release of Telescope 2.0

Hello cag and sorry I also took time to reply, as I was not at home. I found, that I later installed CombatMFD, which also solved the problem. For the test I simply moved from ManagedAddOns to other directory and started oolite with Shift held. I had RSS mission for Black Box, so lot asteroids somew...

Re: Is there a way to display game data externally in oolite

I think, there is one relatively simple way: - each OXP have access to nearly all game data, so if you look into some of OXP which display something (fighter HUD or such), you probably could copy the way, they get speed, orientation of ship etc. pretty regulary - then you can make you own OXP, whic...

Re: Combat is too hard with a keyboard

For me the joystick is essencial and ultimate tool. Playing with only keyboard is terribly difficult (and was in Elite too, but I had simple joystick even back then and did rely on that heavy too). I started yesterday another session, in Strict Mode (= no OXPs) and with Wire Graphic (real nostalgia ...

Re: Escape Pod as Standard OXZ

I am not sure, where I read that, but for "normal people" to get their ship was just one way - sign up contract, where you work years on some company's ship basically for free, and if you survive all the time, you was awarded by ship of yours. Now it would mean jump to some system (2 days ...

Re: Advanced Navagational Array: Can I plot my own course?

There are pack of trader and his security, and while trader is Clean and part of security too, some security could be Offenders. They still do not attack, as they are paid to protect the trader.But if you attack anyone of them (even the Offender), they all go after you and still are Clean (and you a...

Re: Why was the difficulty of pirates set so high?

If I remember correctly, I soon adopted landing strategy opposite of what was recommended (approach station at around half speed, then slow down and synchronise rotation and than slowly and carefully fly ahed, maintaining rotation in sync) - I stopped somewhere between planet and station, carefully ...
