Oolite Bulletins

how about a 'paint bomb'? Paints everything within a couple of km, might even show up cloaked opponents (handwavium: cloaking device field projectors don't work through gooey painl layer) interesting idea but would not the paint become flash frozen at -273 Kelvin? Then you have a wierd shaped projec...

With that said... that screen shot looks a lot like the Dubious Profit and everyone knows that it is permanently in that kind of condition

In the spirit of fairness to complainers:
An OXP that when installed give the commander a key choice that if he selects : ALL oxps installed are immediately removed. Make sure the key choice is by the most common used key on keyboard so accidents can happen when in a fight or docking.

I have thoroughly enjoyed your contributions.
Thank you and God Speed on your new journey. You will be very much missed.

You are onto something.... EE Smith's character Lensman Kinnison had the ultimate in personal weap ons: thought activated thought demoleculizer. It is a small electronic device that is implanted under his skin and is activated by Kinnison's thoughts (backlash protected shielding in the device keeps ...

zork I,II,III

yup... pretty much the same for me with an added extension: asteroid fields.

Bwaahhh ha ha ha Forget retirement... I already have a commander who was murdered while docked and conducting business.

I'm working on oxp and have a question - how to correct detect the enemy's equipment ? Let me get this straight... you want an oxp that lets you know what is hidden in the innermost region of another ship?????? Why don't you make an oxp that makes all ship transparent like glass???? With this oxp.....

This is a personal view only: I have been looking and reading... we have enough pirates thank you very much. Space is and should be basically empty with a small probability of encounter. To force me to stay in the space lanes means that I would not have a chance to explore and find some of those hid...

I just checked her wiki page and although I was never introduced to her works, Any author that has been as successful as she is, will be terribly missed as the old schoolers pass through this phase of life.

"How on Earth did you guys go from talking about Glasgow drunks to politics? " Easy answer to that.. it is in our Genes to discuss what we feel to be unimportant but important to loudly discuss ... now let's get back to the wheat beer...The stuff that I have tried here is one that you must...

Gosh O mighty... I touched a raw nerve. certainly not on purpose. I am not a tea bagger, rush fan or fox news watcher. (UGH, UGH UGH) I can trace my family heritage back to the Lamont Clan located on the Firth of Clyde. as to politics... the scone dilemna is certainly a political happening that just...

"Just do what the US would do.. mount a permanent guard of armed cops with 'shoot to kill orders." We haven't reached the Gestapo mentality yet, but mighty close with Obama dictatorship. We would just put up those gosh darn poky cameras , record the activity and then put them on shows like...
