Oolite Bulletins

For a portable OOlite I was thinking more of the GP32 or GP2X. Now THAT is Linux.

I've been thinking about dipping my toes into the water that is Hardwar but the learning curve seems a bit much and its not as intuitive as some games. Combine that with the fact that there are all these hacks around and youre not sure where to start. It seems that because the Hardwar world is compl...

Ah Hardwar, a game that has also seen a hive of extension activity with the return of one of the original coders and refuses to die.

im not sure what the barriers are to getting it working on Win98 but it did remind me of the Windows 98 Kernel Update project over at the MSFN forums. Maybe an install of this plus the unofficial Service Pack will help...

I'd like to be a person you give a lift to, who then steals your ship and sells you off as a slave... i.e. a very dangerous pickup!

Yeah, feeling good about myself, I decided to launch from the station to an Anarchy level 4 system with an empty cargo hold. i proceeded to kick the crap out of everything around and was filling my cargo hold up with loads of stuff. I'd even had "Right on commander!". Exhausted but smug, I...

Yes I think that 7LY's is good and the game play would alter significantly as far as route planning is concerned. If you want more distance, do a fuel scoop!

Thanks for that! I noticed on the map page, there are a few planets linked together which I suppose are the optimal routes for making the most cash but having this in the game is nice. What do the numbers mean?

Hi, I thought you might like these maps I found on the net today. Written in BBC Basic for RISC OS, using Ian Bell's published data-generation algorithms, all 8 galaxies are there and show routemaps. The lines represent maximum 7.0 light year ranges. There is no link to the actual program used, as i...
