Trade Lanes

[carlabrams]

There are these lights on them...Red for DO NOT ENTER, green or blue for the right one.

(Blue's in Gallia)

Also, simple rule: If you come out on top, head for the bottom. If there's three or more, the one on your left will be on the bottom, like as not.

They have lights on them?

Okay, would it be possible to edit those lights so that those of us who are red/green colorblind can see them? Seriously - I have issues at times with the aiming cross when I'm in turret mode - I can't see it against my ship because it's red. Now to find out that there are supposed to be lights on the trade lanes - wow...

(And in case you're interested, I see white, yellow, and brown when looking at a standard traffic light, with the bright white one on the bottom.)

I have problems with certain colours. You should try fighting in a nebula.

When I am running at a TL using the 'GoTo' mode, I push the 'dock' button and see if the ships nose moves up or down. Then free flight in with some clearance on a wide sweep to whichever the ship indicated.

As for docking problems with a Collosus, try a liner (Slaver). I can be sitting directly infront of a TL OR HUGE jump gate and it actually misses. I can't believe it can do it with that thing. The docking computer either has a virus or it's a bug?
It just goes left and then sits there with the gate open/TL lit up waiting.
I honestly found flying the old Zoner dreadnought easier to fly.

Heh lol. Happens to me alot while trading.

Really though, If youre not colourblind, trade lanes are quite easy to understand when youve got the hang of it. It would be more logical to have the same on every trade lane, but its not like freelancers a logical game in the end...

*Shakes head, walks away in disgust* ...

The game got a bit of 3D ... And you complain ?

Someone should design a system that's extremely vertical. Put a trade hub about 30k straight down and invisible from the standard horizontal plain.

I believe the complaint is that one lane is:
Enter
Exit

While another lane is:
Exit
Enter

Not that everything isnt on one single plane.
My 2 cents for this complaint.... Autopilot.
