Thankyou. It took parking between 2 stars to get the dull red to look OK, and that was the best of the military colours, but I have switched back to white until some more Cutter paint jobs become available...
I do quite like the new 2.2 blue pleiades for screenshots.
Well I try flooring it, all that does it degrade the shields it's like the activator is simply not there. I noticed this a few times in beta. Seems the nose pitch is important, very flat or slightly upwards seemed to fix it for me. I must login tonight and move from Obsidian, now it is on the Galne...
