Oolite Bulletins

Hi Guys, I've just been offered a mission to transport a certain old gentleman from one planet to another before he dies - based on the positioning of the two systems I think I'm now in the LongWay Round mission (its in my AddOns Dir after all!) However, I just wanted to check something with anybody...

Hooray for LB (again). I get to play with some of the stuff everybody raved about from the 'old days' on the BBs. Its amazing I've stopped playing anything else - not even BF1942 online has tempted me away from Oolite since I came across it just two weeks ago!

@Rxke - thanks - this would be like the Asteroids of Charlie's that LB is using in his new OXP?

@LB - oxp looks fantastic - being a newbie I'm still a few kills off AA - but by the time I get back to the planet in question I should be there. Nice one. I can't wait to play!

As the Capt. says you're up there with the Gods!

I was passing through this system a few jumps ago....

@griff - I'm a PC user so RTF is fine by me.

I'm going to download Wings and/or Mesh3D over the weekend so this will give me something to play with - much appreciated.

Just a quickie - are these kind of thoughts about expanding the functionality of Oolite - better here or in the "Suggestion Box" Forum. Don't want to be miss-posting. @Griff - glad you like the ideas - and yes please - would like to see your simple oxp to have a play around with it. How's ...

Welcome 'Dos Box' - your first post - I was in your position just two weeks ago - theses BBs are almost as addictive as the game! I don't know about the advanced textures for planets but there's an oxp available which adds lots of extra speech to the game - I don't think its been put back up on Oosa...

I've checked Oosat and Oosat2 nothing namewise obviously shows itself to be the hoopy casino oxp - has it been pulled due to the bugs some reported on this thread? If yes, will it ever make a reappearance?

Cheers - DaddyH

@Everybody! Fantastic response guys - thanks for all the comments, suggestions and feedback. I intend to have a go at some of this over Christmas (yeh yeh I know it'll never happen!) I will keep posting crazy ideas that are way beyond my skill level as long as people keep reading them and telling me...

@Doc - just entered my first Communist system post installation of Commies_v1.81 and I just wanted to say - "job well done!" - as I've also installed sunskimmers and piratecoves - at the same time my journey around the system was extremely eventful! Do Rock Hermits always trigger a red ala...

@Drew - any particular reason for Tianve? Random or some deep Freudian reasoning?

Look forward to your further expansions!

PS - How are the book sales going? Well I hope (not got my copy yet - although I did put it on my list for Santa) (he's probably been blown up on route )

@Pangloss - very nice ads

@Griff - ditto (singular)

Don't you just hate talented people!

While reading the thread: "My Competition Entry Is Ready On Oosat2" - I noticed that some of you were claiming to be shooting bits off the CMKIII and that got me thinking about shields/engines/hit locations and 'uber' ships. My thinking goes something like this: Oolite I'm guessing can alr...
