Not yet Kreana. We do intend for this to be possible, but there are a few other features we'll be adding first.

On a similar note, will we ever be able to be rightside-up?

I'll sell you a special passs that will allow you to buy a station. Meet me on the playground afterschool.

Again with the rightside up, RelayeR?
(This REALLY bothers you, doesn't it?)

tis a crusade for relayer.

Rather than "right" the universe, let's just fit RelayeR with a special prismatic window. Isn't there some /pov setting that flips the display?

No RelayeR, we will never be rightside up, and the stars will always shine through the corona of the sun.

-75 I think, but I think it places your camera looking out the back.

/set fov -75 does indeed work, but you'd have to rebind your control keys.

Edit: also, all the signs will be mirrored, but you can just go around them.

Set fov 999 also works, and reversing the axis is supported.

on topic, i have owned a station since release, and have even been payed to let people dock/undock, its all in how you define *own* :D

I thought this was a joke. What's the "problem" here?
Nov 12, 2005 Spellcast link
no problem.. nothing to see here.. move on.. move on...

actually what we're all talking about is the fact that when you warp into a sector your ship is rolled 180 degrees so that the underside is pointed "up".
using "up" as being towards the 'camera' that took the pictures of the systems used in the navmaps.
It's easy to look at, just pick a sector near 3 or 4 large background objects (planets, suns, etc) and jump there.
come to a complete halt and line up on one without rolling at all.
the object thats shown to the right on the navmap will be located to your left.

it's really a bit silly that relayer keeps bringing it up actually, its not like it makes any difference at all in space.

The enemy gate is down. That's all that's important.

It should be noted that Miharu pretty much owns the Odia M-14 bar.
Nov 12, 2005 Dr. Lecter link
Hardly. Anyone who wants can come in and do whatever they like. Ability to exclude others--that is, exclusive use--is the fundamental characteristic of property ownership.

/me flips Miharu the bird and defiles the bar
