If you're bored install YAH - that should make your arrival much more entertaining...Poro wrote:(yes, I am bored right now )

Pfft! That makes everything sooo commercialized. I get harangued quite enough by the traders when I dock at a station, thank you very much.DaddyHoggy wrote:If you're bored install YAH - that should make your arrival much more entertaining...
Re: Arriving close to the Witchbeacon
Definitely. With YAH, I have arrived about as close to the beacon as that, but with the added scare of a huge billboard then swinging around and trying to clobber the nose off my python!DaddyHoggy wrote:If you're bored install YAH - that should make your arrival much more entertaining...Poro wrote:(yes, I am bored right now )

With YAH installed, the smart Commander cuts his engines to near zero just prior to entering Witchspace. That makes it a lot easier to NOT eat a billboard on arrival.

I had just re-installed ATI 9.10 and took the ship out.
First jump and… the closest I’ve ever been to a beacon… had to pull up sharp.
Within thirty seconds I was rammed by a Krait… press space Commander.
Sometimes you just can’t win.

I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Ow, dude!
That has to be the most painful Oolite Darwin Award ever.

Given the way billboards and vehicles tend to interact in the movies, wouldn't it be neat if we could just plow through the BB, leaving a big hole in it?
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
