congrats, you are about 30 billions richer that before embarking on the exobio path
I have no real recollection of the docking permission issues though I don’t think they docked, I do recall that amongst the troubles is that the SRV has no rotational correction so the inside of the station is moving quite a bit relative to it.Can't imagine why!
But, now I think about it, this raises really interesting questions.
Can you request docking permission from an SRV? Do the slot cannons see you as hostile? Do the landing pads acknowledge an SRV as "landed"?
I'd imagine some intrepid Buckyball racers would have no trouble at all getting to a landing pad.
Congratulations and celebrations.My work is done...
A skilled SRV pilot should be able to cope with that...
I've seen a screenshot of an SRV in front of the station's lifts (elevators) to the hangars, how is that possible?
Huge! Kudos to you! @@@O7

Way to go maaaaaan
Sounds like Ghost Giraffe's work. He tries all sorts of things. Things like pushing the ship kit part of a ship through a station window so someone inside can step on to it, then lift them out and carry them somewhere else. Or fly through part of a wall that doesn't have a hitbox at a planet port, then fly underneath the city and up through the buildings from underneath.
Okay, that was a possibility I hadn't thought of. There are always these inquiring minds that look at the boundaries of the games and wonder what may lie behind. And if there is a way to take a look behind the curtain.

Can't imagine why!

The SRV's don't have collision code for the space station, they just pass through building and structures so I imagine no you can't "land," and it appears you can't accelerate to match the station rotation and use centripetal force to drive around the inside surface so that's probably a big no all around.
Thank you - tbh it’s a bit short of 20B in total - probably due to the fact that I had gotten as far as Geneticist before the ExoBio megabuffs :]

Is it just me, or do the forums (in general) seem very quiet of late?
I suspect things will heat up again when U19 comes along - whenever that may be.
Anyway... pew pew some more!

I noticed that also, it seems to wax and wane.
Me too, but it looks like a normal cycle to me. No major issues, everybody is either playing along at whatever they fancy or attends to real life's demands (or both).
I just got a 115MB update for Elite, I'm assuming everybody knew about this?
Really? I'm actually in the game - I'll log off and see in a mo
