If you're bored install YAH - that should make your arrival much more entertaining...

Pfft! That makes everything sooo commercialized. I get harangued quite enough by the traders when I dock at a station, thank you very much.

Definitely. With YAH, I have arrived about as close to the beacon as that, but with the added scare of a huge billboard then swinging around and trying to clobber the nose off my python!

With YAH installed, the smart Commander cuts his engines to near zero just prior to entering Witchspace. That makes it a lot easier to NOT eat a billboard on arrival.

I had just re-installed ATI 9.10 and took the ship out.
First jump and… the closest I’ve ever been to a beacon… had to pull up sharp.
Within thirty seconds I was rammed by a Krait… press space Commander.

Sometimes you just can’t win.

Ow, dude!
That has to be the most painful Oolite Darwin Award ever.

Given the way billboards and vehicles tend to interact in the movies, wouldn't it be neat if we could just plow through the BB, leaving a big hole in it?

That would be fun

perhaps it would be possible...scripting an even in case of collision that would spawn a new billboard with big hole.

Yup. Every few jumps, do a Futurama Moment.
