Which is by the way a real problem. I often have come across main stations launching clean Anacondas with fugitive Tigers as escorts. Not sure out of my head whether this was finally solved in 1.72.1 or 1.72.2.

Well, not from oolite but from another open source remake of an old game:

Code: Select all

Commit message of the month: "* Remove redundantly redundant parentheses, which are redundant.".
Runner up: "* quote: it doesn't get more boolean than boolean".
http://ufoai.sourceforge.net/
Which might be interesting because they got a screenshot of one of the UFOs there - looks a bit fragile but REALLY dangerous!

Edit: Might require some reload of the page to see it - and when I zoomed in I noticed it's a new craft for the players, not in the current release.
