Oolite (Object Oriented Elite) is a space sim game, inspired by Elite, powered by Objective-C and OpenGL, and designed as a small game that is easy for users to pick up, modify and expand upon. Almost every aspect of the game can be changed by using simple, free graphics packages and text editors. The point is 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.

Just Confusing

This game seems mostly key-controlled, which is not a bad thing. However, that the keys are not obvious, and they do not seem to work - I could not figure out how to dock with space stations. The manual said press shift-c to activate docking computer, but the key combo does nothing. No tutorial, either.

Tips

This is an OLD comment. But this reply is for anyone reading.

There is reason the docking computer does not work (out of the box). You have to PURCHASE the docking computer. You also have to be within RANGE of the docking station (and there is in on screen indicator when you are).

Docking is VERY frustrating manually. A docking computer is my 1st purchase!

The game is simple - collect things at low prices. Transport them to another star system and sell them when they are more expensive. (for profit). Enemy ships: fight or run away - depends on your play style (and fire power!)
