Oolite Bulletins

MMORPG wouldn't work, I agree - but Multiplayer don't has to be massive. A solution could be dedicated private servers with a set of OXP decided by the admin for any number of players up to x players. This could work, theoretically. I don't know if it is feasible, though. :| Just a thought. Gonna st...

Presumably it's from Nor Crystal Tears?

Correct! You win. Loved that book as a kid. And it's about the first contact between humans and thranx, so it is per definition the first book of the humanx commonwealth...

Is it from Alan Dean Foster's Humanx Commonwealth series?

Yes! You know the book? Hint: It's technically the first humanx book. For reasons.

Oh man, I'm sorry, more of a lurker, lately and this was outside my scanner range, I'm afraid.

Ok, an easy one (maybe?): Which universe of stories starts with the words "It's hard to be a larva.", even though it's not in the first book?

The first appearance is a few years earlier.

My guess would be the first Avenger? Captain America? I don't even know the name of the movie...
And I don't really know anymore, where he was... In a cinema as some kind of worker?

I guess this line here: "GROUP_ATTACK_TARGET" = (setTargetToFoundTarget); The escort gets the message from the mother after it has sent an "ATTACKED" = ("messageMother: ATTACKED", "messageMother: ESCORT_ATTACKED"); to it... Maybe? It's been a while... :D EDIT:...

GEEKOUT!

DeLorean with the Blue Danube?

Oh, yes, the DeLorean was a shitty car, or so I heard. BUT... you just have to imagine the scene where the team was looking for a cheap used car for this test and found this for sale...

Wait, is something near itself?

As someone with a different keyboard layout, this would be unusable, if it isn't player programmable. Just saying.

More than 6000 credits for a salvaged Vortex. The first I defeated. Got lucky he ejected and the derelict was still there when I got back. Dredgers allow for actually making money from bounty hunting instead of losing it to repairs. http://s19.postimg.org/l3izuy6fj/oolite_002.jpg Wait, there is an ...

No, I don't.

So, the escortGroup of a ship is a ship group, isn't it? Shouldn#t I be able to add a ship to it via addShip?

I do a lot of this escort adding type stuff in Station Dock Control. The biggest issue I faced was how to add escorts to launching ships. I had to set timers to wait until the mothership had really launched before adding escorts to it. Thanks, I took a look at your code, and I know now what to do.....

Thanks again, should be fixed in SellAll v1.28. What would you people say about Rock Hermit-specific "Mining Contracts"? Elite universe suggests that corporations are mining minerals and alloys in asteroid fields on very big scale. But sometimes this corporations may need short-term outsi...

I like the idea. If there is anything boring in Oolite it's the fact that most planets have exactly the same Coriolis station. And you spend a lot of time looking at them while waiting for docking clearance! I'd like to have some variations with the three core types, and I thought about making vari...

Hmmh, do you want a certain shiptype like only sidewinders? escort_roles = ( { role = "[sidewinder-escort]"; min = -2; max = 4; }, ); No, that's not it, I wanted to do that in script, not in the .plist, because of reasons... :D If you want to do something about the escorts after the ship ...
