The best way to play oolite!

I like to play Oolite with the old Steel Battalion VT Controller with special cardboard panel I've just created for the game...

This is a snapshot of the center panel...

I also use this controller to play mechwarrior 4!

Holy intense control setup, Batman!

very cool, even though cloaking device doesn't have a 'c'.

Are you sure that's the cloaking device button?

Isn't 'clo-acking' the sound of a trumble clearing a furball?

ooh, me want.

it makes me wish i had made on for my DT project at school. we had just got an automatic laser cutter, and they wanted to test it out, i ended up making a huge mechanical device, that turned on a light.

but what i realy want is this...

You know with, that control lay out, 3 plasma displays (one front, left and right) and a small room decked out something like this:

and you very well may have oolite heaven.

I remember that someone here once made an arcade setup of Oolite...

Well if you've got a spare 1.5 g's then cool. If not better download my overkeyer

Hmmm I need to put a switch compass button, a trace star route and "shift?"
to show cargo destination. Other than that I think it's fairly up to date.

Yeah, if you have a spare 1.6k, but with the economy, who does?

Guys, this is another ultimate Elite setup.
