Right on, Commander...
...Was "heard" in my messages
And there was much rejoicing...
Now I can start looking at some of the add-ons without feeling I've cheated.
Actually a bit anticlimactic - three reasonably straightforward flights took me from 6391 to 6400 - when I thought I was coming up to it at 6000 I got jumped by Thargoids twice, and in the final flight ran into 14 pirates.

Re: Right on, Commander...
Right on, Commander... nicely done!
Yeah... my 6400th confirmed kill was a Python with a measly single-digit bounty. I should've let him go, I suppose.ffutures wrote:Actually a bit anticlimactic - three reasonably straightforward flights took me from 6391 to 6400...
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!

Re: Right on, Commander...
Congratulations, Commander!
And kudos for doing it all with a core-game-only installation!
(Umm.. you do know that you can take in-game screenshots at any time with the * [shift-8] key, yes? )

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
Re: Right on, Commander...
*gets so jealous*
Best I got was Dangerous before I had to remove Oolite... and now I had to start afresh and have got so many cool ideas that I don't have time to play :/

Actually I must have missed or forgotten that - I haven't looked at the instructions in months.Diziet Sma wrote:Congratulations, Commander!

Thanks!onno256 wrote:Hehe, congratulations!
I managed Elite with the PC version of the original game a couple of times - once when it first came out, and once four or five years ago before I'd heard of Oolite. But that was really a bit easier than Oolite.zireael wrote:Best I got was Dangerous before I had to remove Oolite... and now I had to start afresh and have got so many cool ideas that I don't have time to play :/

Congratulations! If you haven't got a name for your Boa already, I've always like "HMS Selene" ...

Now there's a blast from the past - but that was a ground base, in a manner of speaking, not an active ship.Disembodied wrote:Congratulations! If you haven't got a name for your Boa already, I've always like "HMS Selene" ...

Very true, but it was a good name nonetheless ... And it was a blast indeed, for which many thanks!ffutures wrote:Now there's a blast from the past - but that was a ground base, in a manner of speaking, not an active ship.

Congratulations, commander!
I got my elite at a similar time and it's a great feeling after a couple of years of play.
My final adversary was called "Eagle of Grief III" and the bugger broke my beer holder

Congrats to you and ffutures (...the way I've written that it reads like you're getting married to each other Sorry! )
