Oolite Bulletins

Effectively, I'm looking for a combat ship to aid in tracking and hunting down offenders/fugitives/etc. I was originally using the Supercobra but got a bunch of OXPs, and found the Kestrel (now using Merlin since it has more cargo space). The things I'm looking for in a ship are these, from most to ...

Not in Silicon Valley, but relatively close. I'm in SoCal, San Diego County to be specific. Glad to see more people in North America -- I was under the impression that many of these folks were from Europe and abroad.

Heh, Infinite Improbability Drive.

Does Oolite have an RNG?

If so, would it be too much of a slowdown to assign each of the planets in each of the galaxies a random number, generated on time of use? n(1000) or however many planets there are. Warp to a random planet in a random system. Mmm, the fun.

Actually, if it's gaining less fuel than it's putting in, it's not really much of an infinite propulsion device, is it?

Would it be possible to have the efficiency of the enhancer increase while in hyperspace or while using injectors? If you use injectors while near a sun, you scoop faster and your fuel refills much faster. Or is the device supposed to disable during hyperspace?

While I'm a new face, I'd be more than happy to help. I can delete spam, at the very least.

My username on Oosat is the same as it's on here.

Right, but for realism's sake, there's no source of the particles necessary to make the fuel -- so it doesn't work. Besides, you could abuse it then to mis-jump between long jumps and refuel before continuing (thus limiting the number of times you'd have to head to a station or sun to refuel).

Charlie: Not all is lost! If you can replace the motherboard and get a copy of Windows XP (you should be able to get a replacement CD if you can contact Microsoft and prove somehow that you bought an original), you can perform what's known as a 'Repair Reinstall' which will just reinstall the core o...
