Oolite Bulletins

Tiny, compared to Oolite ships, and definitely not much cargo space. A ton? Maybe two tons? Imagine how long it'd take, doing milk runs between planet surface and the main station to afford a reasonable upgrade.

It's an Adder 0.0001

Someone's gonna do a virgin space tour ship OXP for Oolite I bet.

@Fatleaf btw I've always known an escutcheon as the metal or plastic disc that covers a keyhole.

Escutcheon:-

1.
a shield or shieldlike surface on which a coat of arms is depicted.
2.
an ornamental or protective plate around a keyhole, door handle, drawer pull, light switch, etc.
3.
Nautical . a panel on the stern of a vessel bearing its name and port of registry.

A much over-used term

Tooooo many meanings, at least mine is probably the most common, thanks for clearing it up.

I dunno, it can take six passenger berths.

who cares about cargo, how many guns can you fit to it is the question.

But that is the point of having them. To educate the masses. I also learn a bit when I research them. Each fact I want to put up will have some nautical connection. In line with us sailing through the 8!

Thanks Smivs for the further meanings.
Everday is a school day!

Ok which bright spark is going to get the photoshop out and do a virgoon Galactic logo rip?
