I think that having a 'Moderating Council', which consists of an odd number of Moderators would be the way forward. That way the Mods can agree a series of rules and regulations regarding what can and can't be posted in a fair and amicable way, without deadlocking over matters. I've personally taken...

I think it's a bug with the tractor beam, giles did do some work on it which improved it's performance, but as you found out, it is still possible to go over the limit when you scoop multiple objects. The most irritating part of scooping when you're nearly full, is that when you've filled the cargo...

One little bug I just experienced. After sending a pirate Python to meet his maker I started scooping my 10 tonnes worth of booty when I caught up with his escape pod and another cargo pod simultaneously. The fuel scoop chugged away and I checked my manifest....to see 11 tonnes of cargo! I don't kno...

Definate YES, I recently got turned inside out when I was running through an Anarchy by the Big Blue Balls of BOOOM! I think a verbal warning would be very appropriate, e.g.: "Aaaarrrgh! Q-bomb launched! Women, children and Q-bomb warning systems first! Save yourselves, WE'RE GONNA DIE!", ...

Most of the .oxp's are accessable, though a couple (such as the 'Ugly Cobras' and new YT-1300 skin) are inaccessable. Strange, since the .oxp's either side of them (Lovecats, Dark Wheel Cobra III and Urutu Mk IV) are all accessable. When you try to download the inaccessable ones, a 403 Forbidden scr...

Just tried out the Kestrel. Wow! For a first attempt, it rocks! The controls are a little *delicate* on the keyboard, but with a fine hand and a quality joystick it'd handle better. The skin is well detailed, but I must admit, the pylons can be something of a liability, both in combat and in post-co...

Right On, Commander!

The screenshots look great, just downloaded them, can't wait to get my hands on one!

Maybe if you get in a fight with each type, then SHIFT-8 and paste them on....?

Captain Hesperus
"Look, no refunds. The manifest says 'Food'. Trumbles have to be edible to *something*, just make sure you cook them throughly!"

Nice planetscape, Drew. Now maybe if you added an unmarked Imperial Courier and a SuperCobra going head to head with a backdrop of a burning Thargoid Battleship, that would be a real eyecatcher! Captain Hesperus "I tend to name my ships after my expectations of them. Allow me to introduce you t...

Odd thing here. I was trying to dock at a TL 14 station and saw a SuperCobra with Fugitive Status trying to dock. There were Vipers plugging away at him, but he wasn't responding and was seemingly intent on docking. I shot him down. My Status remained Clean and I got the kill. I'm running Win XP and...

Here's hoping Oosat2 is back up soon and a successor (or successors) is swiftly crowned :) The King is, well, on a well-earned and extended break, who shall take up the Sword of Wings3D and the Crown of Great Ideas and Intense Migraines. Any takers? Captain Hesperus "I really should have marke...

What about an 'Enhanced Cooling System'? Something that accelerates the cooling rate of the lasers, but at a cost, either of energy banks (by powering up active heat reduction devices) or Quirium fuel (converting it to liquid hydrogen and circulating it around the laser elements, then venting the ho...

Totally (well not quite totally) at random, has anyone noticed the similarity between Giles' Chopped Cobra and a Cylon Raider. Or am I utterly behind the rest of the Ooniverse?

"Okay,we're lost. I knew we shouldn't have taken that right turn at Bettelguese...."

Actually I would prefer the energy bomb to be the 9 key, running a PC I'm always using alt-tab is to switch between applications. This is fine when docked, but in flight it fires off the energy bomb when you don't want to. Usually when a squadron of Vipers are pasing by.... Captain Hesperus "M...
