Does the throttle work correctly with other games? It looks like there might be a joystick driver issue there.

Phew, episode 11 was pretty tense I was really suprised at how tough those ships were, you got some pretty decent hits on the baddies but they seemed to just be brushing it off, would have thought they'd have started throwing sparks and stuff, maybe you have an oxp that weakens your guns (or makes the bad guy ships stronger), anyway it's great fun watching these

Ah, the km, pronounced koom (kuː ʊm) of course! An ancient unit the origins of which are long since lost. Legends tell of prehistoric origins, early scientists trying to express distance in terms of wavelengths of light and indeed some planets, most notably Teceinre, have a celebration to honour the legend which consists of pacing up and down in period costume, holding glass balls (representing ancient light sources) and using a so-called "foot rule" and eyeglass to admire the wavelengths whilst reciting poetry. Claims that this was started by Teceinre marketeers as a way of selling more of their poetry have consistently been denied.
The ludicrous fractions and ratios needed to shoehorn this theory into accepted history or science are however simply not credible and most leading historians hold that it was once defined as a multiple of the average step length of aristos in Old Paris. Sadly through various reformations, rationalisations and standardisation efforts it no longer bears any meaningful relation to its origins and now used mostly by spacers as an indicator of distance generally taken to be the distance a ship would travel in one second when travelling at 0.001 LM or, less formally, half the distance a typical spacer can throw an Ou fruit at standard Isqueder gravity after a few glasses of Tibediedian Arma brandy.

I did have Custom Shields installed, but I removed it after that episode. I think I put N-Shields on instead..? I'll have to check. I was informed that perhaps Custom Shields was not the best OXP to have considering my poor combat skills.

If you have customshields or n-shields installed, I suggest to also install NPC equipment damage OXP to make it fair again. Otherwise NPC have an unfair advantage.
