Good global moderators have a sense of humor.

Where else is there an "Orestes"?

I'm sure there have been other ships that used the name Orestes. It's a mythological reference, after all.

I don't really think it has anything to do with AoA, that'd be silly.

Eh? So you mean it won't work with ships that aren't named Orestes? wat?

Post by: Flipside on July 07, 2009, 01:28:10 pm: I suspect there was a ship named the Orestes that could not dock at any of the standard positions on the Aeolus because of the mesh shape, so this point was added at a position where it could dock without clashing.
