Re: Marcan Rayger Frontier/Elite fan-fics revisited

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...

Re: Marcan Rayger Frontier/Elite fan-fics revisited

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...

Re: Right on, Commander...

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 :D

Re: [POLL] When did you last play Oolite?

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 :)

Re: gamesvaes on network attached folder

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...

gamesaves on network attached folder

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...

Strictly come dancing appreciation thread

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...

Re: In car Elite

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...

Re: David Braben's Elite: Dangerous

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...

Re: {UPDATED RELEASE}-Illegal Goods Tweak v1.7.3(30/5/12)

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...

Re: {UPDATED RELEASE}-Illegal Goods Tweak v1.7.3(30/5/12)

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.
