Oolite Bulletins

I have RSS which shows up as R on advanced space compass. So does my newly installed Rock Hermit locator.

How do I go about changing the symbol for the Advanced Space Compass? I think R is OK for RSS, but not sure which one 2 use for RHL as H and N look very similar.

Information and suggestions please.

Another issue is fitting a Serpent Class Cruiser inside of a Bar cargo dock. I scrape and do damage and so does the autopilot.

Best bet is to use the Talkative Space Compass OXP, as that gives you the name of the beacon in messages.

Not been to a bar in my Serpent, as I stay away from anarchies. However try docking with the docking port at vertical, and see if that makes a difference?

Thanks for the tips. I'll give the vertical docking a try and install the talkative space compass. Have to dock at bars to make more money than my grandson - too good a prices for food, luxuries/alcohol and minerals.

If I have to go to an anarchy in my Serpent, due to a cargo route, then I stay off the space lane, so never go near a bar. Yes, I can dogfight if I need to, but I'd rather stay out of trouble, as I'm usually doing cargo contracts and would rather not risk losing some cargo due to battle damage.
