Oolite Bulletins

Hi Cholmondely I'm late to the party as ever! Did you have any joy finding these? I've just looked and they appear to still be on my kindle so might be able to get them off, assuming there aren't any issues with the author. No joy whatsoever - and I do want to read them (and don't see why others sh...

No PDF at the moment - do people still read PDFs, though? I thoroughly enjoyed the first two, Castor in particular... I also enjoy your description of the ship to ship combat as well as your writing style - fairly fast paced without dwelling on unnecessary plot details. I highly recommend reading t...

Congratulations, commander!
I got my elite at a similar time and it's a great feeling after a couple of years of play.
My final adversary was called "Eagle of Grief III" and the bugger broke my beer holder

I tend to play most days as I find it a good wind down from a stressy day at work. I also enjoy "doing a couple of planets" while I'm waiting for the dinner to cook in the evenings.
Tonight I'm have an extra hour or so as we're watching the tv

Thanks for all your help with this, especially the advice about using the SymLinks. I've now got a symLink to the shared folder working perfectly from the laptop- after I remembered to run cmd as administrator. I did the desktop using symlink creator (once again run as admin), as mentioned in the li...

Hi chaps. I'd be grateful for a bit of help regarding the oolite gamesave. To put you in the picture: I play oolite on a laptop and a desktop and share a gamesave between the two. My bt router has a usb port that I've currently got a pen drive plugged in to which allows me to swap my oolite gamesave...

I owe a great big thank you to the creators of strictly come dancing.... I love my mrs (she's been my dream girl for decades and my best friend) however anything that can keep her occupied for 3 hours while I enjoy "man time" is genius! I've no idea who the people are in the show and my la...

Cheers Gimbal Locke & wolfwood - Currently I'm chucking handfuls of tin foil out of the window as an ECM and have the mrs armed with a peashooter for missiles however I'm planning on working on a cobra body kit - Bit of a pain in the arse parking due to the width, but handy for loading tons of c...

Cheers smivs & Daddyhoggy. :D Just make sure you avoid the temptation to play while driving! RL(tm) 'Press Space' moments are best avoided :wink: . Good point! :D It is for stationary use only so sitting in the work car park is fine but belting down a country lane is probably best avoided - trac...

Not strictly oolite, but I thought some of you may be interested ;) I've been spending the last few weekends putting a raspberry pi in to my car. I've gone for riscos as it's quick to boot & shut down,but mainly as I've wanted to have an acorn os in my dream car since i was in primary school! Lu...

Useless wings aside, I quite like the idea of these. Has anyone here played X2 before? There was a series of missions where you had to take passengers on a sight seeing trip and gained extra money by making it exciting (i/e getting attacked by pirates and surviving). By having a ship thats specifica...

Thanks for the help, Commander Gav. I did find it in the end by using a bit of luck - being a bit dim it didn't even occur to me to use the hermit locator however I'll bear that in mind for next time :oops: I did manage to release some slaves and I'm using the same oolite and oxp as you - Perhaps it...

Thanks for taking the time to sort these out, Wolfwood. (I've put some rot13 in here to avoid spoiling the story for pagroove and others ;) ) I thoroughly enjoyed the first two, Castor in particular and especially [rot13]Gur qrfpevcgvba naq zlfgrel fheebhaqvat gur qreryvpg clguba naq fhofrdhrag npdh...

Hi Capt. Murphy. Thanks for writing and maintaing this oxp - its one of my favourites and I've been enjoying freeing the slaves and meeting up with the relatives, despite their visits to my ship ;) I've been given the mission to find the slaver base however I'm having real trouble locating it. Do yo...
