I like to play Oolite with the old Steel Battalion VT Controller with special cardboard panel I've just created for the game...

This is a snapshot of the center panel...

I also use this controller to play mechwarrior 4!

Holy intense control setup, Batman! :D
very cool, even though cloaking device doesn't have a 'c'. ;)

Are you sure that's the cloaking device button?

Isn't 'clo-acking' the sound of a trumble clearing a furball?

You know with, that control lay out, 3 plasma displays (one front, left and right) and a small room decked out something like this:

and you very well may have oolite heaven.

Hmmm I need to put a switch compass button, a trace star route and "shift?"
to show cargo destination. Other than that I think it's fairly up to date.

Yeah, if you have a spare 1.6k, but with the economy, who does?
