Oolite Bulletins

It has just happened again and this time I remembered to take notes! 1. The energy bomb is offered for 675 Cr 2. I clicked on it to buy - the money was taken from my account and time added to the clock for fitting. 3. I checked my ship and it is not there. 4. The energy bomb is still offered for sal...

The Bomb might be primable equipment now. Or did it disappear from your manifest when you hit TAB ? Hi Zieman. I bought it pretty quickly then left the station - to be honest I didn't check that it was in my ship (f5) until after I'd pressed <tab> when I noticed it wasn't there. I'll have a go at r...

Firstly, 1.77 is fantastic! - the AI, look of the weapons and mission screens are a huge leap up and really add to the game - well done and thanks to all those involved :) I've been playing the current oolite (1.77) with the excellent anarchies (version 2.8, I think). Today I flew to a salvage gang ...

I've got my commander name (xzanfr) accepted which isn't much of a surprise! In fact I'd have been more surprised if it was rejected as it's a spelling mistake that I'm pretty sure no one else would want it. I also got the NPC character name of "Edwards & son" accepted - which represen...

I'm glad they are a good few oolite people in the DDF - I was getting a bit concerned about the whole of the frontier forum in general as there were some mad posts by some frankly scary people! I'm a founder rather than a DDF as I couldn't justify the time required or the cost (we bought a sofa inst...

Yeah, I did wonder if FD would stump up the cash to finish off the KS (under an assumed name obviously) if it looked like it was falling short. I think this is the most likley outcome - the description mentions: We’re using Kickstarter both as a means of test-marketing the concept to verify there i...

Well done Drew.
An innovative way of raising the cash and well deserved - I'm looking forward to the book now!

Cheers for the confirmation about the memory and the link to the explaination about task manager.... that'll teach me for blindly beleiving windows without any research!

Good luck with this and well done on your work so far- I'm just sorry I can't be any more help at this stage.

This is a great oxp - excellent idea superbatprime!
Jones has just joined the crew of "Gef the talking mongoose".
I'm just willing him to purr "don't panic" every so often (as well as spot aliens )

Fantastic work to all those involved (and LOL to smivs pic )

We had cause to go to the garden centre today - whilst walking through the decorations & assorted tat (which were like being punched in the face by christmas) I spotted these and instantly thought of trumbles: http://www.garysshed.co.uk/gallery1/albums/userpics/10017/2012-11-24_11-43-15_77_28640...

Hi davespice Thanks for looking in to getting this to run on the pi. I'm not sure how much use I'll be as I'm totally linux illiterate but I'll see if I can be of any help with it :D As a general point I was thinking about how much memory oolite needs and if it'll actually be useable on a pi - I cur...

Good luck with this Drew - A great kickstarter page and you really deserve to be part of the new elite project...
...also I just have to back a fellow ulysses 31 fan

On the strength of your previous work I'd back you on kickstarter if you choose to do so, Drew. :) The writers pack also contains "all of the rewards above™" and it would be interesting to have someone from the oolite comunity who comes from the fiction writing side of things having an inp...

Apologies and thanks, El Viejo :) until I saw live in Pompeii. was that the mad film they made of them playing in some old roman Coliseum? I'm sure they showed that on the TV a while back, it was a bit odd :D Thats the one. Excellent and weird film but not much atomsphere to the gig - apparently the...

OT @ El Viejo & Griff - the weirdest thing I heard about live in Gdansk is that David Gilmore froze his guitar leads to get a better sound! (fact courtesy of planet rock, therefore not mine ;) ) I do agree about Rick Wright being the heart of the band,though - I always thought that Nick Mason ha...
