Oolite Bulletins

Many thanks - found it. Did the briefing tell you where it was if you didn't contact the Galcops? Maybe an idea to have both briefings rather than the rather lame from the copper? Off to Gal 5 now Zskthak told you where it was when he was going on about the attack on his house. That way you get tol...

Look for the asteroid field outside the witchpoint (ie instead of heading toward the planet, go the other way). If you find that, the drug factory will be obvious enough.

I'm not quite sure how to get around this though - how do you tell the difference between an honest salvage merchant and a pirate? One way is to have salvage yards in corporate states etc. only accept salvaged ships from pilots with clean ratings. Anarchies would be less picky. Actually a sliding s...

Are we certain about that?

Has the act of disposing of Cmdr Schrödinger actually made him still more real?

Cmdr Heisenberg says we cannot be certain about that since we can determine either Cmdr Schrödinger's position or reality, but not both.

Went and got me a PCC to try out the external views. Very, very cool. I haven't played 1.65b3 long enough to comment on other changes. I will when I have.

My preference is to revise the autodocking procedure and recommend you dock the PCC sideways.

My vote is for this option. It adds to the gameplay in it's own little way.

Congrats and w00t indeed!!

*Bump*

And this?



Yes, he is trying to dock...

It's fun to go back to a dead ship and blast it at my leisure. Once, once the dust settled and I found myself able to dispose of a Mussurano (sp?) at my leisure I thought I'd shoot it with my mining laser and see if it'll yield more alloys or cargo. I didn't, does anybody else think it'd be cool if...

No need to shut up!

This may be related to postings elsewhere about a bug in the Nova mission.
Do you have this OXP installed...?

The Nova mission is an in-built oxp. If you remove it, you also remove the Constrictor, Trumble and Thargoid Plans missions (maybe more - I've forgotten).

Randomness works fine on Macs. Could the Wintel random number generator be at fault? The early days of computing, especially computer simulations, were plagued by a series of truly awful random number generators. Basically they were very far from random. (And yes, I do realize there is no such thin...

You need to buy fuel scoops to scoop up cargo. Check out the Oolite wiki at http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite_Main_Page (loads of useful info there), and specifically the page on Fuel Scoops.

Well, I don't want to tread on anybody's toes... Those OXPs aren't mine to do such with... it's up to the authors, of course :D Making an own oxp with a script that automatically adds several additional Thargoids if a Behemoth is present in witchspace wouldn't be treading on anyone's toes. Oxp's ar...

No, my tennis racquets are chicken flavoured.

Do you get the BBQ or coq au vin variety? I mostly get BBQ. The coq au vin is much tastier.

Getting back to the question about suicidal Thargoids - I have seen the occasional Tharglet explode upon launching, but never enough to kill the mothership.
