Well. I think the games amount of Over Powered pirates that attack you are a tad much.

For my standard cobra 3 with no shield booster, beam laser, extra energy unit and so on
I cant even kill a Krait before the beam laser overheats. How on earth would someone
with a pulse laser be able to defend against anything (yes i do get jumped too alot
at the witchpoints with 2 to 3 Super-Kraits.

I cant even run away because usually they also got injectors.

IMO it is a tad much. :?

Super-Krait? You mean Griff's chopped Krait? I think that OXP has a test script in it which needs removing.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

nope, just the standard krait: role "light-pirate".

I usually get jumped 2 of these + one insane moray and a single sidewinder.

Even the Sidewinder has become remarkably resilient.

Actually it makes me want to code an Energy viewer so that i cant see what kind of nasties i'm up against.

Easy fast code, Tie it to the Beacon label that gets erased upon De-targeting if it had no previous beacon label.

I just finished a Distance code for the beacon label I also see that on your "Butchered" cockpit that you cannot release.

Anyway, IMO the standard pirates have become a tad to ûber 90% of times i get jumped by these in supposedly secure systems with cooperative governments.

That's spara's Navigation MFD (I think that's what you're referring to), which I squashed into my instrument panel - very handy kit.

IIRC, each system's traffic is now influenced by nearby systems, so a corporate state with two anarchist neighbours is not as safe as it once was, possibly by some distance.

Sorry: not working. At least in oolite 1.82 for me.

it worked once and then stopped to work. I uninstalled the pack and reinstalled and it does still not work as in nothing shows up on the screen.

I installed distant suns to verify that oxzs do work, and they work fine. I checked that the file is there and i held down shift to flush the cache.

I'm getting some warnings about deprecations

Working well at me, so:
-Is there a Combat MDF equipment listed in your ship (F5)?
-Are you tried to press ";" and ":" keys (the keys you have in oolite.app/Resources/Config/keyconfig.plist as key_cycle_mfd and key_switch_mfd) enough times to show up this MFD?
I assume your HUD is not an exotic old one without any MFDs defined.
The quoted deprecations has not any effect (just a reminder), thank you.

It was a localisation issue. The keys listed are incorrect for my local Danish Keyboard. Special letters Æ and æ, must have hit it by mistake the first time around :).
So it works now.
