Re: Introduce Yourself.
Welcome aboard, Paladin Tux. Sorry it took a while to approve your first post - the early morning shift went MIA.
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: Introduce Yourself.
The mid-morning shift was having a kip, too ... a combination of age and excess. Welcome, though, Paladin, and welcome back Namttep!-

Re: Introduce Yourself.
As long as it was to report on how overpowered a certain small ship from the future introduced by a Friendly Gourd is, then that is no problem at all.Paladin Tux wrote:I think I may have accidently clickeed on a report button somewhere when trying out the forum. Sorry!
Find out about the early influences of Fatleaf here. Also his OXP's!

Re: Introduce Yourself.
G'day and welcome to all the recent newcomers! 
(Combat in Oolite 1.80 is somewhat more brutal than the original Elite. System political type has a considerably larger effect on how dangerous a place is. Being a dictatorship, even Lave isn't a safe place for a newbie to return to.)

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

Hej Commander Somersby,
May always be the width of a hand between your ship and the docking bay.

Re: Introduce Yourself.
Hi there. I played original Elite years and years ago and last Friday I got lust to try it again and found this lovely game. After initial hassle I earned some money and equiped my Cobra with everything except that hi-tech naval stuff and killed first dozen pirates. Sweet
On this game I love, that it keeps the atmosphere of original Elite while the graphic was upgraded to todays standard. What a nostalgy!
