Oolite Bulletins

I've got the missiles & bombs folder oxp loaded in AddOns. Do I need to take the various sub folders out into AddOns to get then to work?

The advance space compass button '\' does not seem to work either. Does it work in v1.71.2?

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks another commander

Given the beautiful graphics on 1.71.2 what can I do to make everything run smoothly. Upgrading the graphics card is an option I suppose as the machine was cheaper than a rust bucket Cobra Mk1. What sort of laptop graphics card would be ok?

Would V1.71.2 be any good on a laptop? The specs are

IBM ThinkPad T43
1.86GHz dual core processor
512MB Ram
ATI Mobility Radeon X300
33.3GB Hard Drive

Thanks for any advice

Seasons greetings to you Captain and your many kittens! I can imagine the scene on Christmas day in the Captains household as the family unwrap yet another box of Trumbles

Chin-chin!

Hi All, How happy I was to find oolite :P Used to play it on the BBC, then elite plus on the PC - it's great to have this version to play now and then. Having esatablished myself in the ooniverse I think i'm ready to add some more content. Missions and ships I guess. Had a glance over the wiki. Wha...

Like nearly everything PC prices have dropped and memory has grown, my daughter has just bought one of these for £57.48 from Scan, it's very good too.

With one of those at that price there's no excuse not to back up these days.

I remember when it was £1 per Mb for drives!

Well done that being

f you want to aim higher, you could arrange to buy out an existing main station, perhaps one in suitably low-tech anarchy or feudal system (why not make yourself lord of the manor?) That way you get to use the features that are only available in 'proper' space stations. It would be easy to alter th...

I agree with Commaner McLaine. Jason has a good idea but how about having your funding your own rock hermit for those with less free cash?

Cr 0.5 million and a ship worth Cr400k? I dream of those days :cry: I like your ideas Hoopy. An idea I've just thought of is you could lend money (a bit like the black monks) to others so they can buy ships, equipment, cargo etc, charge interest and capital repayments then if they default hunt 'em d...

Cheers for the advice Commander

I saw it & got scared

I jumped into a democracy system only to immediately find 3 GalCop Vipers battling a Thargoid Carrier! Thinking "Ah well, lets have a go!" I joined the fray. The Carrier launched a Cruiser as soon as I attacked but I found that by sticking very very very close to the Carrier and orbiting i...

This morning I was looking at the prices of Hard Discs. Prices are nowadays very low. A 20GB ATA drive plus a USB adapter is going to cost less than €75. Peace of mind :D I'm currently using a maxtor 120GB USB back up drive that cost nearly £60 / €81. Back up takes no time at all first time and it ...

I was tootling along with some *ahem* "pharmaceuticals" :wink: in a democracy system when I was jumped by 3 pirates. "3, with my front mil laser? Easy!" I thought. I lined up and locked up for my initial pass & when I was 8 klicks out 5 more appeared on the edge of my scanner...
