 One now needs to keep abreast of developments in the systems one is about to visit. This ''can'' be done using the new F4 choices. And it can ''also'' be done using the F7 screen - and if one's route has been plotted using the [[ANA]], one can view the different systems along the route in F7 using the left/right arrow keys.

 *''Cabin Temperature'' <br/>This scale reports the cabin temperature. This will rise when a ship nears the corona of a star or encounters too much atmospheric friction near the surface of a planet. If the temperature gets too high, the structure of the ship will begin to break down as the plating melts. If this begins to happen, the ship will explode.
 *''Laser Temperature'' <br/>Although ships do have a laser cooling system on board, coupled with the cooling matrix of each type of laser, rapid firing will still generate more heat than either system is capable of handling. This gauge will report how hot the laser is getting, and if the indicator reaches the top the laser will shut down until it cools.
-*''Altitude'' <br/>Indicates the height of a ship from a planetary body. The drive matrices in most ships are not usually sensitive enough to deal with atmospheric entry. As a result, ships may suffer catastrophic hull failure when coming into contact with a planet's atmosphere. The altitude meter will indicate when the ship is becoming dangerously close to a planet's surface. If the bar reaches the top, the ship's structural integrity will be compromised.

 Again, some didn't see this as a problem. However, with a lot of help, and quite a bit of experimentation, the necessary source code alterations for a rescaled oolite were presented in late 2014. In early 2016 an updated version for Oolite 1.83 was released and feedback is very much welcome.

 * '''Thargoids''': See this article for details on [[Dealing with Thargoids|dealing with Thargoids]], but in short, target the motherships first and ignore the Thargons as much as possible. If you can disable and destroy the motherships, the Thargons will shut down anyway.
 * '''Assassins''': If you pursue a career as a courier or passenger ferry, you will more than likely experience the situation where you arrive at a witchpoint and are jumped on by one or more assassins. In this situation be careful: assassins have a "Clean" record - if you are also clean, and a police vessel sees you in a fight with an assassin, you might suddenly find you've got a bounty on your head and you're fighting the police as well.
