Stupid question maybe.

Sometimes when I am playing and paused it says "Flight Training Test Engaged"...

This is what???

You flew through a ring. You have the rings OXP installed.

you race through the rings, and it gives you the time it took.

There's a topic somewhere reporting the fastest 'laps' people accomplished

Actually, that message comes up if you press the ‘F’ key while paused, regardless of OXPs. What it does is:

Give the player an Advanced Space Compass.
Set the player’s AI to a flying-through rings AI.
Start flying through the rings, if they’re present.

…Except none of that seems to actually happen, including the free compass thing.

I’d already disabled this for the next build.

A funny thing happened as a test 'Jameson' broke dock at Lave. I paused, pressed F and got the 'Flight Training Test Engaged' message. No ASC. But I *did* get a free docking computer

Wassup wit' dat?

The docking computer is necessary to be able to target the first flight training ring. Dunno why that bit didn’t work here, but I have no interest in fixing a cheat code that wasn’t, to my knowledge, intended for public consumption.

Fair do's. I never liked cheats anyway.
