Oolite Bulletins

Can you easily export the results as *-overrides.plist files? Writing scripts in Excel is my bread and butter. Back in myyyyy day, that would have been a job for Perl. And the answer to your question is no. Ever since I renounced the way of the programmer, despite some auspicious beginnings writing...

I'd be fascinated to see the list of changes. Unifying parts of Oolite so they make more sense is a huge task, and one I've often contemplated, but have always found other things that needed my attention. If you have everything in *-overrides.plist files, even if I don't agree with all the changes,...

Not so sure about the logic of them not being ASC-able. Feudal systems are violent nightmares. My logic is that I find it hard to imagine that much of anything would want to advertise in anarchies and feudals. I always saw Feudals as an "if you know, you know" sort of dockable -- which is...

1) Have you tried phkb's rejig (v.2.1) of Feudal States? He brings down the wager amounts to something more sensible. And you could probably tweak the amounts further as he javascripted it all. I don't want it to reward less. I want them to not be easy wins. I want them to move like geckos and not ...

I'm thinking of taking out Random Hits because I'm not sure that I see the logic. Why are the seedy space bars not just part of the Main Orbital Station? And every anarchy? And all that easily damaged paraphenalia (GalMine Hoppers, GalMine AutoMiners and GalMine Cargo Drones) just in the anarchies ...

I don't know how hard it is to code the flags and settings into phkb

I'm a bit old to have new flags and settings added!

Typo! That was supposed to be, "into phkb's Config for Addons."
I must be getting senile. Who said that?

I have been thinking of consolodation of Oolite data for years, and Cholmondely makes some good points. Packaging OXPs into 'sets' (if that is what I'm understanding?) is a great idea. The reason I brought up what I brought up is because in this last year, I have finally after long long long wanting...

I want to add a salient point that I don't know if developers have considered. -overwrites.plist If y'all are considering an overhaul or consolidation of the future of Oolite, this would be the neglected consideration. How many of you have -overwrites.plist scattered around your oxz folders presumin...

No one has mentioned the best tactic: have a few cheap goods to dump (2-4 is usually enough) and dump them and run!

I should have added more questions. Like what OXP ships you all have, which ones you encounter the most and the least.

I regularly wonder what all your ooniverses look and feel like.

I quite enjoy your posts, Cholmondely. But I have a few comments, questions, and bones to pick! 4. What is your current career like? what does it currently consist of? No current career. Probably enlist at a Feudal at some stage (TL10 Tiuson is very close). I assume you mean by this that you are jus...

Howdy old man space sailors! Just a thread for some conversation and general mingling to see where y'all are at. Too much talk of code and technical stuff and not enough of the funnnnnn we're all having! Do answer some questions! 1. What are you piloting right now? 2. What galaxy and system are you ...

I do have a long desired scripting request that feels like it might be a breeze for the js hounds? I have never been fully satisfied with the parcel and passenger contract prices, and they are my favorite kinds of missions. I've had a look through them a number of times, but my js skills are too poo...

Oh that. There are almost no unmodified ships left in my ooniverse, most of them come standard with military fore and beam (at least) aft. The pilots in my ooniverse are decked out like it's the wild west all the time and only the strongest wolves survive. Weapons sure aren't a problem! EDIT: Anyway...

current NPC skill levels:
Pirate: 10
Assassin: 7
Hunter: 8
Trader: 10
Aliums: 7
Others: 10
