You'll never find it. The Advanced Navigational Array was introduced with Oolite 1.67. (Sometimes it does help to read the wiki. There are so many informations in there.)RazorbackSnr wrote:Nice one JohnnyBoy. Im running v1.65 and i dont think ive seen an advanced navigational array?
Hauling cargo IS boring but im up to 750,000Cr doing it the OLD boring way. If i can find an ANA i'll give it a whirl!
Who told you there aren't? You just have to find them. I built up my cargo hauling reputation in an ordinary Cobby III with 35t cargo capacity. You just have to do the smaller contracts, despite their ridiculously tiny pay-offs. Believe me, once you've successfully finished seven of them, things suddenly get way better!Micha wrote:It'd be nice if there were cargo-contracts for smaller ships too - not everyone wants to fly an Anaconda!
Hmm, ok, will have to keep a sharper eye out then - haven't seen one for under 100t yet!Commander McLane wrote:Who told you there aren't? You just have to find them.

Why would you want to bother with an obscure, outdated, in-between, development version? Makes no sense to me. Either you stick to the current official release (1.65) or you download the current development version (1.71.2), which is available through a download link in the Announcement named "Oolite test release 1.71.2" in the forum of your operating system (whatever it is). There is a reason why the preceeding development version usually vanishes from the download server when a new one is released (and therefore nothing between 1.65 and 1.71.2 is available for download anymore anywhere): Who would want to download the old bugs in version n, if they have already been fixed in version n+1? It is so much more fun to get new bugs.RazorbackSnr wrote:Where do you download v1.67???? 1.62, 1.65, 1.67, 1.71. Your all MAD!!!
Still 191 ships left and already bored? Come on, you haven't touched the tip of the iceberg yet. There is no way around it: reduce their number to zero; five by five, so to speak. Yes, it is a tedious task, but who said that fighting for a rebellion would be exciting every step along the way? Someone has to do the dirty, boring work. So, are you up for it...?Doing the Ionics OXP and i must say its getting boring. Government has got 191 ships left Blah Blah..... The big weapons platform doesnt die unless you Q-bomb its ar*e. Kills a load of RLF ships as well though. Any advice chaps????
Of course it would've been better--or at least more economical--to finish all the missions in Galaxy 1 before proceeding to Galaxy 2. But on the other hand, nobody prevents you from doing the really Long Way Around and returning to Galaxy 1--apart from the considerable price-tag of 35,000 cr, of course.Wana go back to G1 and do the Spyhunter OXP really......
(You are aware that in Elite forward is the only way back, are you?) 
Dear sir or mam (my spelling runs in the family), please calm down, we will try to get someone who can help you.RazorbackSnr wrote:Morning Cmdr MacLane.
Downloaded v1.71.x or something with an official link on here but tried to run it and all it says is "program too big to fit in memory" then disappears.
Maybe enjoying every version ever released was one of my priorities. That way i could enjoy all the OLD bugs.......
Ionics is very, very interesting mission. Its just i meet the same 5 ships near the planet and that big daft weapons carrier which will not die without a Q-bomb enema. You also cant save in the Link base. Do i go into the Ramaza station. Wouldnt be a smart move would it..... Begebe? Zaria?
The HQ of the people im killing.
I quick save at every station to avoid heartbreak but after refuelling at the Link some SOB gave me the good news with an energy bomb. Do NPC's get E-bombs??? Could have been a collision.....
There was NOTHING on my scanner apart from a few whitetails.
Start AGAIN.
I ended up in G2 because Gal Hyperdrive is only one key. The one next to the one you use to get out of a system when you've ran out of missiles, E-bombs, shield and 7 energy banks(PCC)! H.
The fact you have to keep going "forward" is good as apart from OXP's who the hell wants to spend 35,000Cr going to G7?????
Ok Cmdr. I'll follow orders and keep helping the RLF.
Well, no, it's not the same ships, it's just new ships of the same kind. If you kill them all and return to the Link base, you will be informed that there are now 186 government ships left. If you do it again, you will be told that there are now 181 ships left. You get the idea. (And you have to kill all five of them before the next wave of five is created, so make sure you get them all.) Your goal is to reduce the number to, well, 0, in order to trigger the next part of the mission.RazorbackSnr wrote:Ionics is very, very interesting mission.

Hmmm, I do remember that I frequently killed that weapons platform with simple laser fire. It just takes more than one round with your military laser (if you got only pulse lasers I think it may well be impossible). That's where aft, port and starboard lasers come in handy.and that big daft weapons carrier which will not die without a Q-bomb enema.
Yes, you can't save in non-main stations (although that is changing now, see this thread). So, if you want to be on the safe side, you should occasionally dock with the system's main station and save there. The good thing is that you have to go over there all the time, anyway, because the government ships are created close to the main station, and head to the Link base from there. And by the way, if you kill them out of the stations range (and out of the range of any police vessels), even your legal status won't be affected, so you can stay perfectly clean all the time (this is a general rule in Oolite, committing crimes doesn't affect your legal rating, as long as the authorities don't watch). So yes, why don't got to the HQ of the people you're killing, as long as they don't know that you're killing them? That's the fun of being a secret agent, isn't it?You also cant save in the Link base. Do i go into the Ramaza station. Wouldnt be a smart move would it..... Begebe? Zaria?

Yes, NPCs can carry E-bombs, although only in very rare occasions, and I don't think any ships from Ionics.oxp actually do. So probably in your case it was a collision, or a missile fired from close range. (The weapons platform has plasma turrets, IIRC. If you come too close, these tend to be very deadly, very quickly.)I quick save at every station to avoid heartbreak but after refuelling at the Link some SOB gave me the good news with an energy bomb.
