Oolite Bulletins

Hello commanders, I have just had to pay a heavy fine, and now I have been sent for attitude adjustment. I'm a little nervous about attitude adjustment, has anyone ever been sent to attitude adjustment? What was it like? What should I do or not do? All I know right now is not to panic.

I have been sent for attitude adjustment on occasion. It ain't pleasant, and eats-up time... but it does clear one's legal status.

My run in with Attitude adjustment means spending time "cleaning up after the Lobstoids" in the main hanger deck. That took some time to do.
However, I did run across a level 4 confederacy in Gal 2 that gave me an attitude adjustment after I cleaned out all of the :questionable" ships in the area of the planet. It seems that I was ruining some lucrative business deals and it was not appreciated. After launching I got the notice that I was not welcomed here anymore and an over eager galcop started in on me before I laid my jump coordinates. I am glad that my Veloce runs at .48lr and quite a bit faster on military injectors, so I was able to get out of range while setting up my jump coordinates.

Ha, they tried to adjust my attitude once - it went from bad to worse

I don't have an attitude problem.. I have an Authority problem..

Well, I was disappointed with my attitude adjustment. I was hoping to become just like commander Smivs, but I ended up being lectured and shocked repeatedly. At least I didn't panic.

I was very unlucky... It started when I scooped a GalMine Pod that popped out of a pirate Python that I had just blown up. Instantly, I became an offender... But I swear that my intention was to return it back! So I went to the nearest Space Bar. Silly me... I forgot that my nice bounty hunters fellows are quite intolerant versus people with an offender status, even if they are veteran hunters. I had to run away very quickly.
Ok - i thought - let's go to the main station, pay the fine and do some "attitude adjustment" to clean my status (I have a stash of latex gloves to clean the latrines ... When you live in your small spaceship, sometimes you need them).
I docked and an officer came to me. He asked for a bribe to clean my status. 10000Cr!! I shouted at him "Are you crazy?", and went away... Fatal error!!! He took revenge changing my status to Fugitive with a bounty of 350Cr... "Ok! Challenge accepted", i said. Saved the game and lauched. My new "mission" was clean my status.
I kept junping from system to system, sunskimming, running from police and military ships, fighting with those vile bounty hunters that one day are all "Yeah! Greeting commander. You are a great hunter. Take that gargleblaster!" and the other shoots you in the back.
Obviously, no main station allowed me to dock. I kept running, fighting and hiding. I searched for some Salvage Gang to buy a status cleaner. I found two of them, but without the item I needed. I even found an Hacker Viper that told me how ro reach the Hacker Outpost. I went there, docked... and instantly launched out while the outpost was blown to pieces by a stupid bounty hunter! Those people are crazy! I destroyed him... tried a couple more salvage gangs... No way...
I had to solve the problem with a "Kobayashi-Maru manouver" to the save file.

Damn! I knew that power always brings corruption, but I had never tried it on my skin.

I think there needs to be an "Oops. Sorry!" OXP maybe try and get round those accidental mishaps. The amount of times I go to help a Python in distress, shoot them by mistake and have to flee the fuzz is all too regular for me. Maybe I need new glasses

I find the law in games can be pretty harsh, the bounty I've racked up in Skyrim for accidentally stealing a fork would surely clear the national dept!

Yeah, it's like the time I tried to help a Viper once and accidently shot it - well the idiot flew right in front of one of the bogies! You can imagine how well that went down

Oh, God. Room in the friendly fire bus for one more?

I had the Furball OXP installed and launched into the middle of, well, a furball. Looking at all the lovely yellow-orange flashing blips was making my mouth water, when someone else launched, decided to have a pop at me and my auto-targeting system locked them up. At this point I flicked over to rear view in time to see fire from my auto-turrets go drifting merrily past the target - and straight into the station. Cue all six Galcop vessels in scanner range deciding that I was the one most in need of "rehabilitation".

It was at this point that I moved the "toggle weapons" key onto my joystick.
