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.

       Im still confused, how do I play?
       Documentation can be found in the /usr/share/doc/oolite directory.  The
       PLAYING.TXT  document  gives a basic overview of the controls but for a
       full explanation please see the Oolite Reference Sheet ( OoliteRS.pdf )
       which is suitable for printing out.
       For  the  nostalgic, Ian Bell’s Flight Training Manual for the original
       BBC Elite is still a very good introduction to  the  game  and  can  be
       easily found online.

       What do the various colors represent on the radar?
              ·  White  -  unpowered  items that can’t mass-lock the in-system
              drive.
              · Green/Yellow - navigation buoys.
              · Yellow - powered craft.
              · Red - powered craft identified as hostile.
              · Green - space stations.
              · Green/Red - thargoids
