Oolite Bulletins

Two years ago, I was in a play that had a scene about this thing. We put in some research and it was really interesting. The premise was that someone was building the machine, and then a series of ancient Greek management execs would come in and say "we would like it to do this" or "h...

I have a lot of free time on my hands, so when I discovered this game around Christmas, I was determined to give it the time and respect that its heritage demands. Since then, I have installed a lot of OXPs, seriously expanding the scope of the game. Many of these have made the overall experience ha...

Very nice. Though it isn't something I would use, your Enterprise is quite excellent. Kirk and the crew would be proud.

On the subject of "Cool things to do with lasers", how about an adjustable laser, with some sort of interface to increase/decrease the damage, traded off against increased/decreased heat generation and power consumption. Of course, such a laser would be more expensive, and if you pump up t...

An interesting thing happened today. I was mining an asteroid, as I do when I have some free cargo space and found thanks to my ore processor a ton of radioactives. When I next docked, I caught part of a message, something about Terraforming Nanobots. Sure enough, when I checked my manifest, there t...

Would it be possible to make New Cargoes compatible with Planetfall and offer things on the planet's surface?

My personal choice would be "I'm happy playing Oolite until everything is sorted out."

I recently upgreded to a Moray Star Boat. Me and the "Flathead" have had some success, mainly with escort contracts. Despite being slower than the Cobra III and having a small cargo hold, I find the handling to be excelent. I do well in combat despite only having a forward laser, and seven...

Having read this thread, it makes clear to me just how much Sci-Fi I have Not read.

Note to self: Don't confuse Sid meier with Russ Meyer.

Edit: Inappropriate.

Every 25th of May I carry a towel with me. In fact I wait for people to come up to me and say "why are you carrying a towell with you?", so that I can have the pleasure of explaining. Douglas Adams is one of the best reasons to be British.

Thanks to Switek's Shipping mod and the saves that come with it, I've been roaming Galaxy 1 in an Adder for six game months. Me and the 'Underdog' have made a name for ourselves as a capable all-rounder and I've made her about as iron-assed as you can get. There's a lot to be said for starting below...

Started playing Oolite about a week ago, and already have a good few OXPs, including this one. It's good to have a bit more variety (realism probably isn't quite the right word for a futuristic space combat/trade/exploration game) in ship behavior and this certainly helps. The alternate starts are a...

After a short rest and a long sleep, 9.3 solved the problem.
All this time i've been going along with a totally useless graphics driver. Just goes to show that newest doesn't always mean best.
Thanks everyone.

I think I have it now. I'm running Catalyst Control 10.02, which is completely incompatible with the graphics card. Any Idea how I get rid of it so I can put 9.3 back on? There doesn't seem to be any way of uninstalling it, most of the files are buried somewhere in system/32 and it won't let me put ...
