Oolite Bulletins

If you install Cargo_Wrecks_teaser.oxp you will get the occasional fueltank like a cargopod. Just scoop. Be warned, however, that some of these fueltanks will cause a fuel leak instead of filling your tank! Yes I have that OXP installed already and I have seen the odd fuel cargo tank too. Never kne...

I was attacked by a Mamba last night. I managed to kill the bas#*rd but about 3-4 mins after the battle a message popped up on screen telling me I had a feul leak and I watched as my fuel guage droped to nothing. Are there any other small surprizes I should know about. Cool little addition to the ga...

Ah right, I thought it would be a major job to do else it would have been implemented by now. I thought maybe that the game saved information about what type of station you was docked at and where it was, so that's why I thought it would have been a similar situation if you docked at some other non-...

This has probably been asked before.

Would it be a good idea to be able to save a game whilst docked at a rock hermit, pi-42 station, etc...

Is this available in newer versions of the game? I have 1.65.

Hmmm, ghost boulders are new to me. But on the other hand, there is no reason why it shouldn't happen to any of the entities in the game. Sorry for your missed profit, elite! I have also had the odd ghost splinter too. Luckly though none of these things are able to shoot back at me. I'd hate to com...

I have also seen the ghost cargo pods too, but just recently I fragmented an asteroid with my mining lasers only to be given 5 ghost boulders that I couldn't do anything with

If you have a look at the Wiki Mission Page, this will give tell you want you need to do to trigger a mission without giving the plot away. Wiki pages is here:- http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite_Missions Yes I have seen that page. That actually raises another question. All missions have a tri...

Ok thanks guy.
That clears up the pc searching issue for me and I will take a look inside the Longways oxp files for clues to the mission.

I take it you don't need a passenger compartment to transport this person?

I have just installed a few new OXP's, one of them being the mission pack UPS-courier v1.1.1.oxp. I just started a new game and a mission popped up almost straight away. A guy called Ixat Behan (of the trading ship Proof of the Pudding) asked me to go to Soladies to pick up his uncle and bring him b...

Hi. Ok I usally have no problems at all with the game crashing. However I am currently taking some cargo (contract) to a planet called Aronar. Each time I hyperspace the the system the game will crash sometime between arriving and flying to the planet. The time taken to crash varies. I assumed that ...

I have been trading and asteroid mining for ages now and finally got myself enough cash to buy a nice second hand ship at Zaonce. I brought a standard model Oohauler L-crate freighter. I got it because of it's 150t cargo bay (now extended to 165t with a large cargo bay extention). Think of all the m...

Thanks. I found in the shipdata file for the transhab the variable I needed.... coriolis(0.10). As a test, I set it to coriolis(1.00) and the transhab appeared at every planet where a normal coriolis station would be. I have now set the variable to coriolis(0.45) to give me a better chance of seeing...

Hi all. I have loads of oxp's installed but I still havn't seen most of the ships and bases I have. For instance one oxp I have is the transhab.oxp which adds a Transhab Station to the game. However on my travels I have yet to see one. I just woundered what determins that a certain station appears a...

Hi guys. Ok here goes. 1. Reverse. If you get too close to an object and you want to back off a bit you have to turn around then fly away a bit from the object. So how about a reverse where you simply press whatever key you use to slow down till you come to a full stop, then if you want to reverse y...

LOL yeah that's true, but an auto save function when you dock does sound like a good idea.
