I had my first success against a Rogue Frigate tonight.
Previously I've always taken the discretion-is-the-better-part-of-valour approach and run for the hills but tonight I got brave.
Instead of running away on injectors I just ran at normal speed and gave it full military lasers. After a couple of cycles of overheating and cooling I could see his leaking plasma and he broke off pursuit so I turned and finished him off. Only 95 credits bounty, though. I expected more. Then again, the glory will last forever. If only I could have worked out how to get a screenshot!

Welcome aboard - for screenshots hit shift+8 (*).
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Re: Rogue Frigates
And now I'm stuck searching Tiared for a sports team to splash. Orbiting lonely planets is losing it's appeal. Any tips, beyond just being patient?

Re: Rogue Frigates
I know zilch about sports teams, but if you're at Tiared and bored, why not take a trip across the Great Rift?

Re: Rogue Frigates
Well now there's a challenge. There clearly is a way to get across that gap but I've not got a clue how!
Have to admit that I'd assumed that you might Galaxy Jump into the isolated corner bit randomly sometimes. Obviously there's more to it than that. Maybe if I can work out how to find that Hockey Team I'll be able to work out the way to jump further than 7LY.
Or maybe not. I'm not actually that clever!

<grins> There is a location that is only 6.8ly from Articeso.

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

I realise it's really rock but for the purposes of the demonstration, it's close enough)

You have to ROT13 it first..Cody wrote:My browser doesn't understand that link, Diz.

Re: Rogue Frigates
Yeah, I should have guessed... but I dislike ROT13 for various reasons.

Re: Rogue Frigates
Me too.. I've requested that spoiler tags be added to the BB so we wouldn't need to use ROT13, but haven't heard a word in response.. <shrug>Cody wrote:Yeah, I should have guessed... but I dislike ROT13 for various reasons.
