I found that I missed valuable info when it was displayed at the side, so I kept the original position and just made the text smaller by lowering the row_height.
In immersion mode, there seems to be the occasional system that is always serious trouble… every time you return to it, it’s the same. Lativege in G7 is one such system… a poor ag/feudal, and always full of hardnuts. I’d taken three thorough beatings here, and had to hyperspace out every time… but I was determined to fight my way in, so I went back for another go. Made it through, but with serious damage to Rolling Thunder:
So then I journeyed over to Edoned, and got ‘robbed’ by GalCop:
Damn it... what a game!

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!
Is that a new feature in 1.75, that you get a bounty instead of an insurance?
Not really new. Until now there were some pilots that had both a bounty and an insurance. e.g. an insured trader that accidentally hit a clean ship in combat. (Also a large part of the oxp added ships had pilots with both values set)
The player just never noticed because he only got the bounty message when both values were present. New it that the player now will know he didn't get the insurance in such cases.
(Its all a spin-off from a bug report about scooping pilots)

Hi all. First post.
I had a very nasty experience just the other day. Nothing quite like it has happend before.
I thought Id have a go a starting as Jameson again just for fun, made what purchses i could and blasted out of the station to make my first witchspace jump. On reaching the system I was immediatley ambushed at the witchpoint by 14 Eagle MkIIs which proceeded to end this Jameson's career right there and then. Kinda harsh even for the Ooniverse I thought.
Managed a couple of screenshots...
Check the scanner (and time)
Didn't even take one of them with me
I hope that if I had been in my usual ride things would have been different.
Thanks to all who have made this game. Great board too!
Those 14 Eagles belong to an OXP, but I can't remember which one - I'd suggest, once identified, you remove it until you're a little more iron-assed...
I see, thanks, but why did this happen with Jameson and not my rated commander? I've not added or removed any OXPs recently.
Could it be a G1 only thing? Ive added some OXP since I was there. If it is, I will have to make a few galactic jumps with my favourate commander and teach the pirate scum to breathe a vacuum
Ah! OXPs work for all Commanders if they are installed...they're not selective. If you want to be a born-again Jameson, you should remove most OXPs...just leave eye-candy.
Commander Smivs, the friendliest Gourd this side of Riedquat.

Yep, that's the Eagle2.oxp. There's a script.js file in there that adds a convocation of Eagles each time you jump into Zaonce. Remove the script, and you'll be fine. (Or avoid Zaonce...)
Edit: Memory is flaky. It's not a script.js, it's a planetinfo.plist:
It only triggers for Zaonce, and is just a test thing that didn't get removed prior to release. Perfectly safe to remove (or rename).
Edit2: Changed from 'flock' to the proper collective noun. Although my quick research revealed that some use 'aerie' or 'brood' as well.

i hit those little buggers a ways back and posted in a grump cos they picked on me! they ALWAYS target the player it seems : i had a cop attack some but as soon as i joined in they all ignored the cop and turned on me
Thanks for the info everyone. I'm going to leave the script there and go back (forwards) with my usual commamder/ship to G1.
14 Eagles Vs 1 Falcon. Hmmm, I'll let you know
