On a different matter ive got 30 OXPs now installed including the BGS including the cabal common library and the snoopers oxp which is very memory intensive, running on my CC unit, without any noticable delays, the sound is perfect
.
30? That's pretty impressive, given your memory constraints.. if you don't mind me asking, could you list them, please?
Oh, I didn't realise that was configurable via OXP. In that case, ignore my request - no point changing the code.
Possibly the most useful idea would be to try a HUD with a larger than normal scanner. There are several available, of which my personal favourite is the NumericHUD3. There are also some HUDs which have a transparent contrast overlay over the scanner. Possibly, that might make it easier to see the lollipop sticks.
A quick question for any experienced players - what does Maintenance Overhaul do?
Combat and normal wear-and-tear all contribute to the gradual deterioration of your ships condition. In the short term, this manifests most clearly in the steadily dropping trade-in value of your ship. If you continue to ignore maintenance, your ship will begin to experience fuel leaks from time to time, and eventually your hyperdrive engine will become so misaligned that you will start to experience failures and even mis-jumps, which will dump you into interstellar space, where the Thargoids will be sure to give you a hot reception. If you're very unlucky, you might not have enough fuel remaining to get back to the nearest star system.
So.. Maintenance Overhauls are important. The higher the tech-level of the Station where you get the overhaul performed, the better the job the mechanics will do, and the longer it will be before your next overhaul will be required (unless, of course, you make a habit of getting heavily shot up every trip!
). There is a maximum limit on how badly worn-out a ship can get.. but by that point, you can expect problems on almost every jump you make. And a mis-jump immediately followed by a fuel leak will
really ruin your day.
On a related note, if you are going to upgrade to a new ship, you will get the best possible trade-in value on your old ship if you get an overhaul at a high-tech-level system immediately before you do the deal.
Finally, there is a wealth of information available both on the
Oolite Wiki and the
Bulletin Board, and I'd like to invite you all to pop in to the BB and say hi, ask questions, and poke around. We are a very friendly bunch, (some say "the friendliest Board this side of Riedquat"™) and we love helping people out and answering questions about our favourite game. We believe there is no such thing as a stupid question, and I can
guarantee you that we never flame people.
