One thing I really like about the current game are the groups of bounty-hunters. It's great to see a large varied group of ships together.
Aye - large pirate groups are a grand sight too. Mind you, I got caught between two such groups last night - nowhere to run!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Usually I like to keep a clean sheet, but I recently read that unlawful status expired after a couple of jumps (?).

edit: well. that didn't end well. got fined 1550 credits, which was a lot more than I earned.
Yes, legal status slowly decreases over a number of jumps.. (depends on how big your bounty is, as to how long, exactly). As for the fines, etc, you might want to take a look at Wildeblood's Undocumented Launch OXZ. :mrgreen: :twisted:
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Do I detect some glows emitting from the spikes on that Krait?

Indeed yes.
They are sequential, like rope-lights.
Flashy rather than stealthy :P

Handy for targeting, certainly!

Haha, targeting the Krait, maybe :D
They are actually quite subtle and you need to be quite close to really see the effect.

Becetela is a revolting little planet - but I like it!

I was going to say, it looks nice...
The seas are a bit patchy? Fungal blooms per chance?

I thought it might be a shallow sea, and you can see the Becetelan equivalent of coral reefs under the surface.

I also thought shallow seas, with aquaculture perhaps - though algal blooms are a possibilty.

Just a nice view of the Arazaes system, I thought-- the volcanic planet in the lower left was particularly interesting to me.
Reports of my death have been greatly underestimated.
