Oolite Bulletins

Could be you graphics card or drivers. Lave.oxp seems to be quite demanding. I have a Radeon 9600 Pro and with lave.oxp installed the game is lagging heavily when visiting the Lave system.

Looks promising so far. They should make a full 360° 3D cockpit like in Orbiter. With useable MFDs and stuff. Why not adding some true simulation features? That would be awesome.

I just found out about Space Trader a 3D online action and strategy game. My first thought was: wow, great idea. Until I realised that there seem to be no flight and/or spacefight possibilities. I didn't try it but it's more first person shooter and trading. It is played in your browser so you need ...

Now I didn't realize that if you shoot down another ship you get its cargo!

Not directly. After blowing up a ship its cargo is floating around in space. To pick it up you need to have the fuel scoops installed.

There are quite a few interesting freeware titles I'd recommend. VegaStrike You probably know this already. The best space trading game right after Oolite. Unfortunately development is slow. Space Merchants: Conquerors A very well made space trading sim with great graphics and easy flight controls. ...

I think the textures should be on by default.

It would be great to have one docking sequence pattern (all flashing metal) & a more organic Witchspace pattern

Yes, to have two different sequences for docking and witchspacing would be the best.

look again and look for
breakpattern.ogg

Oh, how could I miss that?!

The customsound.oxp includes the file fuel-injection-on.ogg but it doesn't play when activating the fuel injectors. Is it not implemented yet or is it a bug?

Hey all. I'm a returning player after taking a break from Oolite. Now that I'm back I thought I also could participate in the forum. First of all I have a very important wish. Well, I love every single aspect of Oolite. I like the gameplay, the style and the graphics. How couldn't I? It all follows ...
