Oolite - a space-sim game
SYNOPSIS
oolite
DESCRIPTION
This manual page briefly documents Oolite.
Oolite is a reinterpretation of the 8-bit classic space shooter/trading
game Elite, which was written by Ian Bell and David Braben.
FAQ
What is the purpose of the game?
To fly from planet to planet, buying and selling goods, shooting
pirates or committing acts of piracy. There's no goal other than
perhaps to achieve the rank of ELITE.
How do I quit?
While docked, use the 'F2' key. When in flight, use the 'p' key.
I'm still confused, how do I play?
Documentation can be found in the /usr/share/doc/oolite directory. You
should start with README.TXT.gz for window settings. Then, the
PLAYING.TXT.gz document gives a basic overview of the controls.
For a full description of all controls, please see the "Oolite
Reference Sheet" (OoliteRS.pdf) which is suitable for printing out.
Where can I find more information?
For the nostalgic, Ian Bell's "Space Traders Flight Training Manual"
for the original BBC Elite is still a very good introduction to the
game and can be found online <http://home.clara.net/iancgbell/elite/
manual.htm>.
A large amount of additional information, including advice for
newcomers, Oolite Expansion Packs (OXP), the Elite/Oolite wiki, and the
Oolite Bulletin Board is linked from the Oolite home page <http://
www.oolite.org/>.
What do the various colors represent on the radar?
o White - unpowered items that can't mass-lock the in-system
drive.
o Green/Yellow - navigation buoys.
o Yellow - powered craft.
o Red - powered craft identified as hostile.
o Green - space stations.
o Green/Red - thargoids
o Purple - police
o Blue/Red - police on intercept
o Red/Yellow - active mine (about to detonate)
