Please look at the design and suggest any idea for the new empty space.

"This space intentionally left blank."
I suggest that individual commanders may write their own notes in the margins.

in the draft Oolite Reference Sheet I read

[O] [N] Turn the HUD off / on - while paused

on my iMac it is alt o and alt n
(rather than SHIFT O and SHIFT N) that does that

slide show sounds good..

I don't think that it works with Shift held down. When the game is paused, it should just be the keys o and n with no modifier keys at all.

Works perfectly in Opera 10 under XP Pro.

[Oh, and great job on the RS!]

Uncle Blix's Upgrade Guide

Now up on our wiki!

Taster:

Overview

The following is an article printed in SPACE, covering the range of equipment available to civilian commanders to upgrade their vessels. Not only does it provide a basic overview of the technology, it also gives a general guide to what is appropriate for many professions that a commander can undertake. Since the focus of this article is on upgrading the Cobra Mk III we have reprinted the article in its entirety with the publishers permission.

Uncle Blix’s Guide To Upgrading Your Ship.
SPACE – Interstellar Edition, Iss. 4 Vol. 143, MirrOor Publishing, 2083500, sec. Talking To The Experts.

One of the most common types of letters we get here at SPACE can be paraphrased like this: ‘I’ve just graduated from a Galactic Cooperative of Worlds Flight Academy and have found my Cobra Mk III very under-equipped. What should I install to improve my chances for fame and profit?’ We though the best being to answer the question is Blix neClee. For those who don’t know of him, Blix is the founder, owner and spokesbeing for Uncle Blix’s Star Yards, the largest independent network of shipyards in Galactic Chart 5. A popular quote about him is that, ‘What Uncle Blix don’t know ’bout starship upgrades would fit in a photon.’ So without further ado, here’s Uncle Blix

Uncle Blix’s Upgrade Guide
I feel right honoured in being asked to write this ’ere article, so don’t get me wrong ’bout what I’m gonna say next, ’cause I believe in giving great customer service. It’s just that I’m getting too long in the mandibles to ’ave another Jameson coming up to me an’ asking what they should fit. It’s bad enough that they get issued a ship that as soft a new hatched grub. They don’t even get trained on what they should ’ave to survive the big black, let ’lone make some creds. I swear the GalCop flight ccademies must give out commander licences to every grub for just turning up, ’cause they sure as goo don’t know their aft plates from their ’positor when they come to me. So this is the skinny on the stuff ya need to know to live long enough to make name for yaself an’ the creds to enjoy it.
