Oolite Bulletins

look at all the systems on the hyperspace route betwwn the two places.

i can't quite remember but i think you have to look at all the places between where it left and where it was going.

I'll enable logging next time i take a local hero mission and try to reproduce it. I think i did scoop some other stuff (I killed the helpful people who battled with me to defeat the incoming wave) but i didn't leave the system.

sorry - maybe i wasn't clear: In Elite:TNK you get a kill for shooting cargo pods. I've never got a kill in any other version of Elite.

I think you're right too - points for killing inactive tharglets seems too much like cheating.

i've had the all white objects thing as well. It only occurs when I first start Oolite and seems to sort itself out after the first few jumps. That's using XP and a 7600GT card.

Some trumbles grow quicker than others - sounds like you got a slow one...

I think 25 is getting pretty close to triggering the next stage...

once i get to Elite in Oolite I should perhaps go back to TNK to get to Elite in that. I think I got to about 4-5000 kills, but you can 'cheat' by knowing that shooting a cargo cannister gives you a kill... Is that worse that shooting inactive tharglets rather than scooping them?

i've got UPS, random hits, galactic navy and local hero all running at the moment (lots of other missions OXPs but they're all finished). So maybe one of them confused matters? I'm pretty sure I was in the station for more than 10 seconds. I was puzzled that the mission success didn't appear so visi...

you get shields as standard. military shields are awarded as a result of a mission. Once you've been awarded them then you'll be able to buy them at any suitably high tech system (assuming your ship can have them fitted). Keep going with the furs/lquor and computer/luxuries/machinery trading rns (wi...

another minor bug - i finished the next mission (the change in tactics one) and when i docked i got a UPS message saying that a variable hadn't been reset (sorry, I forgot to remember which one it was!). I didn't get a Local hero 'well done' screen either. The F5 screen message was correctly cleared...

a minor bug in the OXP - I just got awarded the rank of confed guard but then my statistics said my rank was 'NONE'. I'm guessing my rank gets awarded AFTER the screen is displayed?

All good fun so far

ooh ouch. I guess I'm spoiled by C# .NET 2.0

I guess an unordered dictionalry is the simplest implementation - that's a good enough reason for it being like that. Good plan for the new version. I guess I'd have implemented it as an ordered collection of name value pairs. OTOH I haven't done any coding in Oolite (yet...?) so my version wouldn't...

right. so i WAS right. except for when i was wrong

odd... I presume there's a good reason for that? Ahruman?
