Either my driving really sucks or...

Post by Malacandra »

Running 1.80 with the Clippers .oxz loaded, I shelled out for a Python Clipper and it has some real strengths - speed, capacity and the ability to carry mil shields. But I'm fast losing confidence in my ability to dock with fuel stations, and I just wiped out on entry to a HoOpy Casino. I didn't think my piloting had gone downhill so quickly since upgrading from a plain Python. Is this bus notoriously hard to park or is it just me?

I came across the same problem but with Boa Clipper. With fuel stations I crash 2 times out of 3, really frustrating. Feels like Clippers have collision problem area around the ships, but I am not the one to guess.

Hmmm, this is strange. Both Clipper variants use the original Oolite models for the Python and Boa CC and although they have sub-ents added (eg engine etc)they should be effectively the same size as the (old) standard ships.
