I've tried it. It's pretty good but I forgot most of the controls. But I can assure you that Oolite is offering more fun today.

Nice.

However, there's one big drawback:
No OXPs ( :mrgreen: )

One big drawforward: Newtonian physics.
Every so often, I wish we had those in oolite. Then I think about it for a second, and realize that it;d be terrible.
I shot him back first. That is to say, I read his mind and fired before he would have fired on me. No, sir, he wasn't a fugitive.

I agree - they're two different games.

I sometimes get nostalgia-struck by the memory of dogfighting near the surface of a large planet, seeing the opposition crashing against a canyon's walls or failing to recover from a dive due to the strong Gs, and suddenly finding there's a large mountain range approaching at 20,000Km/h :shock: ... putting the ship in stable orbit around a sun 8) ... going full thrust for 4.2AU, and flipping the ship at the midpoint :) ... taking care of every cop in an imperial station, then adding insult to injury by tossing a couple of tons of radioactives into the docking bay :twisted: ... good times!

Anyhow, to fully enjoy the physics of FFE I really needed John Jordan's flight mode, and Oolite gave me a taste for modded missions and extras; it seems neither is available, so I won't download it.
[EDIT]: Nope, it seems it is moddable... I just might give it a try...
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.
