Oolite Bulletins

But once in a while you take out those 6 pirates AND the next 3 AND another group of 6 and make it to the docking station, exhausted, and have to dock manually because all the ship's systems have been damaged. What a thrill that was. And then having to decide: pay for the repairs and make a huge lo...

what!?!... you can scoop escape pods!? another difference from the original. Great. I was just vaporizing them instead.

I'll have to try that next time.

Ugh!! sorry, delete this thread then. ... I guess the answer is....Try it and see. If you dare.

I may have to backup my game save and then see

I remember getting Tribbles in Elite and they were a big PITA, so I am quite happy not to buy them in OOLITE.



I don't plan on wasting a game file to try it btw.

Yes, I know this board is for Elite/Oolite fans. But anyone old enough to play elite, must have certainly cut their teeth on Wing Commander Privateer. Privateer was probably the finest sandbox Elite style game created for the PC. It's clear that Privateer is very much inspired by Elite, and the new ...

I made elite status on the c64 version, and used the different gun stations regularly. There was nothing to spend your cash on, so eventually you had military lasers on all mounts. I thought that I was a stud and and learned how to fire in all directions, but thinking about it, I think I just flippe...

I downloaded this oxp and installed it, but I must be a real noob because I can't tell any difference between explosions when the oxp is installed and when it is on. I tried following the readme in the package and put the config file in the addons folder and I must be doing something wrong. Thanks f...

I'm on it.

I should be done as soon as Elite IV ships

Thanks, I'll try that out. Now I just need to know how to hack my own ship so that I'm flying a Firefly.

Of course the gunsight is not there because in the game the guns locked onto the target. So you would need to add a sight. Also IWAR 2 had the option of turning off the cockpit internals. I like the missile warning icon that showed an incoming missile, and there was a cabin temp annunciator that app...

I downloaded the OXP, but don't see it in the game yet. I know space is REALLY big, does this ship replace the Adder and thus I need to find a place that sells ADDERS to be able to outfit myself with one? I so want to explore the oolite 'verse in my own Firefly. "Define Interesting...." &q...

I-War 2 Edge of Chaos has got to be my favorite space sim outside elite. I love the Hud Display and the use of "LaGrange Points" for jumps between systems. The trading aspect of I-War 2 left a lot to be desired as the only trade model was based on piracy and you could not dock with station...

For me, it mattered for the most ugliest of reasons. Envy. I had a C64, my best friend had an Atari 800......and Star Raiders. GOD!!! I loved that game, and there was abosolutely NOTHING on the C64 that could compete. I can't remember exactly when I picked it up. I know I saw it at some software sto...

1.76.1 did the trick. It was so recent, I did not realize I had initially downloaded 1.76. This game is amazing, It brings back old memorys but with the texture packs it upgrades the experience immensely. I love the ability to trade in my ship initially to get some essential upgrades like ECM, Beam ...

To Capt. Murphy I would love the procedure you used to create a maintenance build to allow those of us with Intel HD 3000 and HD 2000 graphics chipsets. Having purchased no less than three versions of Elite, I have wasted more time with this game than should be allowed by law, so imagine my pleasant...
