Sorry to raise an old post but I've recently been using google to translate roolite.org on the fly. I do have to say that this a wonderfully crafted site (I think I've mentioned that before as well). I've also been enjoying the forums immensely. It is also good to see the marvellous Seventh here too.

Comrades, truly you have out done yourselves with you monumental design efforts.

Thank you so much for your words
By the way I make websites for free if they have interesting content and if there is possibility to make good design.
This for my little self-promotion in Western Europe

One thing I did want to run past you. I'm not sure if the saw but we've finished some more detailed maps of the oolite universe. I can let you have the .ai (illustrator files if you like (should be a cake walk translate the them into Cyrillic). As you wish, the last thing I want to do is make people any more work!

On that note, how about plotting some of the milk runs in each galaxy into these maps (Ref Milk Run thread here: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9236), if somebody takes the trouble of identifying them for you.

I don't know. Does everything have to be in the manual? I've always thought that finding out (a) what profitable goods are and (b) from where to where to trade them is part of discovering the game; the game's first objective, if you want (and yes, Elite/Oolite doesn't have objectives; it's just a metaphor).

Ultimately, what's the point in playing a game which is all about discovery, if you don't have to discover anything for yourself, because you get spoon-fed everything in a convenient, artificially flavoured and coloured mash?

Yes, we could write every last little spoiler right on Oolite's splash screen, and a gazillion people would download an OXP doing exactly that, but again, what's the point?

Good point, but it is all over the bb, so it's no secret. (Not a really good argument, I know.)
The reason I suggested it, is that as I play and upgrade, every now and then I suddenly need Credits. When I do, it's sort of a hassle to look through the entire galaxy to find the right constellation. Galaxy one I pretty much know by heart, the others, not so. A pen to a printed galaxy map would do the trick I suppose.

Oh, OK, you won me over. Bad idea, not my first and probably not my last.

Which reminds me - I will update the Russian version of Planetfall to the new 1.41 version I hope by the end of next week.
