Edit of F4 screen wiki page

Issue of categorical multiplication...

I'm not sure that an OXP designer would ever bother to read that page (I had new players in mind when I wrote it - giving them a guide as to what is what and which OXP it comes from).

Perhaps some of the programming pages would be more pertinent?

Signature

This is done with the tilde button (~) - four in a row gives your name and time stamp

you can format it with colons (:) for spacing and with double/treble quotation marks (') for italicising/emboldening as I've done just above

Try it out in the Sandbox

Our BB

Any idea as to what's up down there? (Error code 522). 4/5 days now - seems unlikely that Comrade Xi's AI is gumming up the works - I'd presume that he'd just grab goodies and then go.

Cheers! (Or should that be cheese?)

How to's

I've tried to add these in where relevant.

But I don't know where to plug in Crosshairs, Data - Ship Name & Docked HUDs.
