Cool trip to Thargiod land

Post by Vvlad »

I had a witch space jump failure, reappear surrounded by Thargiods and though 'oh no here we go, time to die' but then noticed some purple ships where in there too. All hell broke loose and after a bit of a battle all the Thargiod ships were gone leaving float Thargons everywhere for me to scoop up and a Behemoth ship to dock with to refuel. As it happens the refuel wasn't needed as when I launched it had taken me to where I was going anyway. I love this game.

That sounds like something isn't right there. I thought the docking in interstellar space was fixed for all dockables. What release of Oolite are you using?

No, that's right. The carrier has to have allows interstellar undocking set in its shipdata, or the default is still not to allow it.

The [wiki]Wormhole restoration OXP[/wiki] can make a misjump 'entertaining'... it also provides a way out of interstellar space.
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!

Not really as it then jumps out itself and you can follow it through.
