Thargoids in witchspace

Post by sabre »

In the orginal Elite you could force your hyperdrive to malfunction so that you go Thargoid hunting in witchspace. Can the same be done with Oolite?

I suppose the obvious key combination to try was whatever the orginal Elite used but it's 20 years since I played it........... Seem to remember holding down some keys while the hyperdrive was counting down.

it's nowhere in the documentation, so here's the answer



pitch up or down during countdown to jump.

That's it.
