Printscreen isn't good because it only saves the screen to memory, not to a file..... only the last screen will be in memory, and you still have to exit to paste it into a paint program or something, to save it as a file.

PrintSceen puts a .png image in my Home/Pictures folder, and will do this for many successive screenshots. I don't use it for Oolite though - shift-8 is preferable.

Long time I don't post here in the forum, so I decided to share a screenie:

Welcome back, gorgeous shot! What mods there?

Why taking every possible contract on your route may not necessarily be a good idea...

Thanks! I have quite a lot of OXP installed, but the ones affecting this shot are probably Povray Planets, Distant Suns, Realistic Stars and Zygo Cinematic Sky & Nebulas

Coluber in combat mode. I've actually survived worst odds than that - the trick, if you have military shields etc., is to get as close as possible to as many of them as you can, so that most aren't firing, and out-last them.

Those human colonials from the Rift Worlds really like their family names:




That Press Space, Commander really does need a comma!

I always thought the bounty for capturing a criminal is far too small...

Never saw a prisonship.
I wonder from which OXP this ship is. It is not in the Dictators or Commies oxp's.

I'm quite certain it at least originates from Dictators. That symbol is clearly from Dictators and there is a prison ship looking exactly like that in the oxp.

Yes it looks very much like a ship from Dictators but it is not on the ship page of the Wiki. Well I know the ship pages with pictures is not up to date at all.

I wonder if the prisoners could be freed?

Edited to add:
I see on my screenshot that this was in Eded (G7) which is indeed a Dictatorship. Case solved.

Eded, eh... passed through there last night. One of the smallest planets in the Eight, methinks.

I thought you where in G1 again?
Jumped fast back to G7?

I see a planet radius of 2983 km.

Almost a prison moon

I get around! Good practice for when courier work becomes inter-octant.

The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournament's begun
The purple piper plays his tune
The choir softly sing
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
For the court of the Crimson King!
