Lave is a Dictatorship system. Even though it's the system you start from, it's not often a friendly place to fly back to.Mazur wrote:Made a succesful run to Zaonce, got back in one piece to Lave [...]
Realised that after I dropped back in, but was lucky: pirates were harassing a cruise liner, who had to make do without my aid, for now.Disembodied wrote:Lave is a Dictatorship system.

Among the best milk-runs in Galaxy One is the Xexedi to Laenin route. The worlds are near-opposite economies and within less than one light year of one another. Laenin isn't an entirely safe system but since the two are so close, you should have plenty of fuel left after each jump to ride the injectors as much as you need to outrun any trouble between the Witchpoint and the main station!Mazur wrote:Going back to Zaonce, more more, with an almost full cargo hold, and from there will seek a safer milkrun.
Thanks. Did the Isinore-Ensoreus for a bit, but in Isinore I only reached the station three times in nine tries. Currently heading over to your suggestion, arrived at Lave; having just bought a towbar, I engaged in a rescue mission, there's a Medical ship waiting for me behind Lave station, I found it once, but fscked up the docking, (I've purchased ILS, as it's cheap, and rolling didn't react once near and in the station. Was just a few meters away from success.Layne wrote:Among the best milk-runs in Galaxy One is the Xexedi to Laenin route.

), now I'm trying to do the tow again, but I can't find the damn ship anywhere. It doesn't show up on the radar, and every yellow marker I investigate is a ship under power, every yellow/green marker is a buoy, of course, so where _is_ it? Any suggestions?ILS is not touch the roll contorls so you should be able (and must) roll by hand. At least theoretically and on my machine.Mazur wrote:I've purchased ILS, as it's cheap, and rolling didn't react once near and in the station.
This mission is a small bonus, aimed to teach how to use the Towbar and available one time only (probably another ship saved the Moray meantime). You should go and salvage other derelict ships, usually pirates forced to eject by you.Mazur wrote:I'm trying to do the tow again, but I can't find the damn ship anywhere.
Yes, it was probably a system busy type hiccup,Norby wrote:ILS is not touch the roll contorls so you should be able (and must) roll by hand. At least theoretically and on my machine.Mazur wrote:I've purchased ILS, as it's cheap, and rolling didn't react once near and in the station.
No, I meant, I restart from the save file in Lave, where I had just accepted the mission. So I'm _on_ the mission, and keep getting reminded the Moray Medical Boat is waiting for me, first time round there were two white dots, one of which was the Boat, but after loading the save file it's nowhere to be found.Norby wrote:This mission is a small bonus, aimed to teach how to use the Towbar and available one time only (probably another ship saved the Moray meantime).

Well, it is a bug - you shouldn't be reminded when the ship is not there anymore, but as soon as you jump to another system you will get the correct mission failed message.Mazur wrote:I restart from the save file in Lave, where I had just accepted the mission.
Much obliged. It's a matter of honour, sort of, to have been offered that mission, and accepted it, to do it properly, this time not failing due to things not working as they should.

But I guess you want the opposite, which mean a guaranteed ship (and less reality). This is possible but not officially supported due to going against the previous, more risky way (which is preferred by me). To get this you should restore a savegame from before you accepted the mission. If you have not any then edit your .oolite-save file and change the value after $TowbarMission1 to 0. Then accept the mission again when offered next time and do it without reload.
Just towed them in, having shut ILS off for certainty on approach. Now I can rest easy, knowing that they are safe, and continue to try to find that Main Station in Leesti. All I found so far was Rock Rats.<Looking around> ... me? Ok, but not exclusively, just as a backup due to there are no other candidates who take the job of selection. I like the criticism and I will be more happy if I must do the handwork only and the whole community would be the head of this project. I am still waiting to discuss if any of the included packages should be reconsidered.Smivs [url=https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=17588#p239314]here[/url] wrote:Sadly, some around here think they know best and as you've found, they don't
. What does a beginner's pack exactly mean? I think that a player defines him/herself as a beginner when he/she has just installed the game. Then he/she looks at the expansion list and a beginner's pack catches his/her eye. And it gets installed. Is that what we really want to happen? I don't. The only oxps out there that I would like to have installable right from the start are Griff's normalmapped ships and stuff because there are people out there that want to turn the knobs to eleven and then start to play.
<nods> That is part of my problem with it too. The debate about recommended lists will go on, of course - but to be frank, I'd prefer such lists/packs to only be available via the Wiki (accompanied by a detailed description of exactly what each element does), not from the in-game manager. Only my opinion, of course!spara wrote:So in short my problem is essentially the name that seriously lures to install this monster right from the start.
