Oolite Bulletins

Slowly but surely my Cr balance is increasing and in the near future I will no doubt be considering trying out another ship. But which one? There are so many choices! Things I currently enjoy (in my Cob Mk III): 1. Destroying pirates 2. Destroying honest traders and then pirating their wares 3. Doin...

Thanks guys - I'm going to take another cargo contract and see what happens and then may buy the passenger berths.

Ctrl it is

I have yaw left/right via keyboard keys 'a' and 'd' respectively. Is there any way to amend the sensitivity of these keys? In 1.77, holding Ctrl increases the sensitivity of the movement controls. Crivens man! I want to reduce sensitivity, not increase it :) Noted about the cargo contracts - I have...

1. I play with mouse/keyboard combination. I have yaw left/right via keyboard keys 'a' and 'd' respectively. Is there any way to amend the sensitivity of these keys? I find when lining up shots using my current keyboard these keys are too sensitive (hence they move the ship too much for each key pre...

Well, it was jolly good fun following the clues to find it

First time I've ever made Dangerous in an Elite game too. I think after another month I'm going to have to uninstall the game because I have no willpower and hence I am doing nothing other than play Oolite (((((.

Still, onwards and upwards

The witch fuel injectors are absolutely priceless IMO - I don't go into a scrap without them.

I just can't stop playing the dang game! I've turned into a devious back-stabbing thief prepared to blow the heck out of some hapless trader just for a ton of food. I LOVE it!!!

Best thing to do is to fly outside the main spacelane between the witchpoint and the planet. Then you can torus jump most of the way without getting masslocked. When you jump into the system, away from the planet and jump for a few seconds to get out of the lane, before angling back towards the pla...

Thanks Guys - I'll do that (and save for the drives )

Hi All I used to play Elite when it was first released on the BBC Micro back in 1984 - I was always very bitter I only had the tape version and not the floppy (as that meant you didn't have the missions nor military lasers). Anyway, fast forward to 2013 and the middle aged me read about Oolite in Mi...
