Oolite Bulletins

Hey, I installed this a while ago (maybe the third oxp ever), but just arrived in the system earlier today. Very, very impressive. I thought it would be larger, from having read about it in one of the Elite stories, but still - that is not a complaint. :) I spent an hour, cruising at minimum speed t...

As the dev's have put some wonderful new toys into trunk at the moment... Can you tell me who these "dev's" are? (So that I may shower them with gratitude.) ... - a small tweak to the advanced space compass which adds sub-planets ("P") and moons ("M") to the detected l...

... how I can get my ship (Fer-de-Lance) to look like the one that Viceroy 'Honest Crook' Mitchel uses - please. I saw it on display, at a Seedy Space Bar, in one of the contracts offered. Captain names and ships are coupled to each other in a random way, so I have no idea which ship you mean. But,...

Cpt : I can't get my brain to grab the concept to work the aft laser properly. I know that it just means reversing my pitch axis, yaw is the same, and roll don't matter. But I can't get my hand to do what my brain says. Best I can accomplish, so far, with the aft laser - is blowing up asteroids, or...

Hiya, I'm going to take a stab at trying to offer my idea to your question... What I feel would be the simplest, and possibly the easiest for people to understand would be the following: Suppose you enter (or are in) the Tibedied system... Main planet (with the station) = Tibedied or Tibedied Prime ...

Did you hit the ESC key twice rapidly or as fast as you can ? Obviously not. :oops: I have since been able to do so. It requires very rapid successive hits. No wonder I never managed to escape in the past. So, it is a good thing that I have invested in the Foole's system. Asking the obvious questio...

Ah! <slap head> Ja - you're right. I should have checked the wiki for that. Excuse me guys. I usually check the instruction manual first, before saying anything too stupid. Didn't have enough coffee yesterday, before posting that. Tackle this one, if you please: I see that the Random Hits oxp was or...

Apparently this is a thing some players do: just hoard the precious commodities, even buying at above-average prices, until the opportunity to sell at a very high price comes along. I look at it as simply being shrewd with extra credits. There is no bank to deposit these extra credits, so they can ...

What I like about that picture, is that you have somehow modified the settings so that it detects the commodities in cim's New Cargos oxp. "Modifying the settings" means "installing New Cargoes OXP". Different OXPs play along with each other. There's no need to modify one OXP in...

I have to get around to this, for you. Just got side tracked recently with doing something different (escorting traders) in Oolite. I'm in combat much more than I used to be, but don't seem to get blown away too much. I have a saved game with my Boa CC, and will make a point of it to pick up some pa...

I don't know what aspect ratios or the "4:3" thing means. I'll usually play in full screen mode, though, if that has anything to do with it. Any who, I see that I forgot to take this oxp out of my add-ons folder, because a 'Python Clipper' was the mothership for one of my recent escort mis...

another_commander : Okay man - understood. And thank you. :) I'll enjoy the game as is (not hard to do, I play it every night since having discovered it). I'm learning how to use my side lasers now, but still quite hopeless with the aft one - lol. Relating to energy units; I have purchased an "...

A couple of kilometres ahead works too, but it's a bit harder to get into position for it. Rather than pulling in behind the mothership when the scanner is clear, fly four or five kilometres ahead, and use your aft view to match headings. Then cut your engine speed down a bit so they can catch up. ...

Righto, how does this arrangement of reminders look? http://imageshack.us/a/img600/1864/artsgraduates.png I think it messy, inelegant and anaesthetic*, and remind you that you apparently got by without such reminders before. But if it meets with your approval, it will become the new 1.7 some time l...

hehe. Okay, in game we live forever, as long as we don't get the "Press Space Commander" screen. ;) So the Date / Time serves as reference for certain things like passenger / cargo contracts, etc. How do you start this naval energy unit mission? Just by traveling to galaxy #3? There should...
