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.

       How do I quit?
       While docked, use the 'F2' key. When in flight, use the 'p' key.

       I'm still confused, how do I play?
       Documentation can be found in the /usr/share/doc/oolite directory.  You should start with README.TXT.gz for  window  settings.	Then,  the
       PLAYING.TXT.gz document gives a basic overview of the controls.
       For a full description of all controls, please see the "Oolite Reference Sheet" (OoliteRS.pdf) which is suitable for printing out.

       Where can I find more information?
       For  the  nostalgic,  Ian Bell's "Space Traders Flight Training Manual" for the original BBC Elite is still a very good introduction to the
       game and can be found online <http://home.clara.net/iancgbell/elite/manual.htm>.
       A large amount of additional information, including advice for newcomers, Oolite Expansion Packs (OXP),	the  Elite/Oolite  wiki,  and  the
       Oolite Bulletin Board is linked from the Oolite home page <http://www.oolite.org/>.

       What do the various colors represent on the radar?
	      o White - unpowered items that can't mass-lock the in-system drive.
	      o Green/Yellow - navigation buoys.
	      o Yellow - powered craft.
	      o Red - powered craft identified as hostile.
	      o Green - space stations.
	      o Green/Red - thargoids
	      o Purple - police
	      o Blue/Red - police on intercept
	      o Red/Yellow - active mine (about to detonate)
