Oolite Bulletins

even though it has the potential to be way unbalanced for the game. Use of the cloaking device doesn't even drain the energy banks. You COULD fly around and blow everyone up and not be noticed, but where's the fun in that? Also, I've been encountering the Thargoid carriers a whole bunch lately (sinc...

The big question is, when is the damn Deposed mission DONE? As soon as you see the lines <key>mission_deposed</key> <string>MISSION_COMPLETE</string> in your save-file (or you get an iNews-flash about an Albatross colony ship on your screen, if you don't want to look into your save-file every time)...

Yes, you are on the right track - with the Deposed mission! :? .[/quote] OK, so I am on the Deposed mission (still) I guess. When is it over? I installed the military OXP after I THOUGHT the Deposed missions were over. I rescued deposed leader X, flew around to several galaxies, blew up some stuff, ...

I've been fiddling with Military Fiasco for some time now. I've run into a few of the stolen ships (rattle cutter and Hydra) and have blown them to sparkly bits. I'm running a few different mission OXP's at the time, though none of the ones that will interfere with the military mission prior to its ...

I recently installed the Ore Processor add on and now the majority of my asteroids simply disintegrate when hit by the mining lazer. I understand that you'd rather not make mining a way to collect thousands and thousands of credits from each asteroid, but it might be nice to have them still stay as ...

Loaded the galactic hyperdrive in my Cobra. Got about 200,000 cr, so the $$$ isn't the problem. Did the nova mission. Pretty straightforward (say "yes", leave system, land). Going back to the blowed up system for a peek was interesting. On Lovecats now, the guy is at esarqure, but I can't ...

I need to buy a new galactic hyperdrive? Oh goodie. Will it be used to take me out of Gal 4? I wanted to play Lovecats and Deposed and don't want to have to go all the way around the series of galaxies to get back to 4 again to play them.

Was reading the Wiki and noted that I haven't finished the Nova mission yet. When does that start? Guess I'll have to fly around for a bit more.

Been playing for a bit. Recently finished the Thargoid plans mission in Gal 3 and got my reward. Got bored with blowing up pirates and harvesting booty, so I installed a bunch of OXP's, hit my galaxy hyperdrive, and off to Galaxy 4 I went. Clean Dangerous (1812 kills) fully loaded Cobra Mk III I ins...

I seem to remember that when I was playing Elite for the Apple many years ago that there was a key that would reverse all the axis settings for the joystick so that when you were looking out the back of the ship, you didn't have to try to remember to do everything backwards. Yes or no. Can't find an...

Frequently (pretty much all the darn time) the various text messages that pop up on the screen (incoming missile, ECM activated, injectors engaged, etc.) will NOT fade out, but will simply stick and cause me to have to cycle through several keys to make them move off the screen so I can see again. I...

I am in galaxy 2 and was zipping up to the local people's paradise purveyor of things that go BOOM. I was lining up on the docking port from a reasonable distance away (the docking port was about the width of the laser crosshairs). All of the sudden, it blew up into a zillion alloy hunks (bringing m...

Which version are you running, I had to install 1.65 twice on my new pc before it would work, similarly I would get a quick glimpse of the black DOS screen which would then also disappear, and that was without any OXP's installed. As LB says some of the old versions of OXP's on the original Oosat c...
