To Cholmondely: Thank you very much for your suggestions of names for some landing sights on Riredi, I am very honored!If you are looking for more lore, I think I still have some notes and thoughts regarding the planet riredi, the Coluber works and shipyards, Riredisec and riredian natives somewhere in my files.
Oh, and last but not least I have this: A picture taken by my riredian guide during my educational journey to Riredi 8 years ago showing me in front of a riredian mountain slug in the northern mountain slug reserve, approximately 1500 klicks northeast of Colubis City.
Many think the mountain slugs have their name because they lives in the mountains. Truth is, this lovely creatures have their name because they are HUGE as a mountain! The creature you see on the picture is as very young and thus quite small exemplar, not older than 300 standardyears i would guess. But it has already the typical and very beautiful and symbiotic forest or "symbioforest" on its back. I would guess the symbioforest of the Slug on the picture is composed of at least 2000 different types of plants, fungus and small animals.

The spikes - as well as the additional "daisy-cutters" on the Pitviper Mark II - in particular do not have any special scripting-code behind them that would give you an advantage when it comes to ramming. The entire hull of ship has! In the shipdata.plist you can tweak the "density" of a vessel. The density of a vessel effects its mass and thus the momentum and damage done in a collision. (You can find further information how "density" works in the docuemtation forPitviper: the edged spikes used for ramming. Do they really work as such? Do the shipdata.plist, etc., allow such modifications?
To learn how to ram, in the first step keep a wary eye on what a new commander normaly does to a space station when he tries to dock for the first time in his life. In the next step, do exact the same to ships that are smaller than the ship you are flying in. (Loool, sorry, just kidding, I just could not resist.Ramming: And how does one ram? How do you decide what to ram? Is there any sort of strategy you recommend for adding to the Oolite Tactics pages
I never thought about landing sites on the planet yet, but I am absolutely fine with your suggestion. I would just ad one additional site, the capital city of the local inhabitants, N-Ddshriiipjiziss (the name cannot be translated into the human language, you can only try to to paraphrase it. The meaning is approximately "Everlong-Pulsing-Garden-Of-Light-Where-The-Three-Twinkling-Shepherd-Mothers-Dwell". Of course this paraphrase is much to long for daily use, so the human inhabitants of Riredi gave the city a short name in their own language for daily use: Carbuncle.PlanetFall v2: What should the Riredi landing sites really be?
