Oolite Bulletins

Hiya, I found this on the Oolite oxp list in the wiki. I would like to try it, but I can not get it to work. My computer says it does not recognize (or understand) the file downlaoded because it is an RAR file. So I did some investigation, and noticed that all the other oxps I have are ZIP files. Co...

I find this suggestion a very reasonable one. I think it's worth considering it. Wonderful, another_commander and Eric Walch . Ja, if it is supposed to be a real part of the game, why the need to have to go into the program and change things yourself? Next earth shattering inquiry: if someone has a...

** Might be some spoilers here - read at your own risk ** Hi, I love this oxp, at least the concept of delivering something fast. I guess I got good pretty quick, because they have now offered me a combat mission. Not too thrilled with that, cause couriers don't really specialize in 'attack & re...

Hiya, I'll jump over twenty systems in a row, in order to get from one end of the galaxy to the other, on contract runs. Normally I would spend about 3 to 5 minutes sun skimming, because it is faster than going to refuel at the main station. With Sensible Sun, I can now spend up to 6 minutes just tr...

Hiya, Two things I noticed in the Oolite Instruction Manual (links). #1: Fuel Scoops page (Path = Oolite Main Page - Oolite Instruction Manual - Oolite equipment - Fuel Scoops). The section, Guide to 'Failsafe' Skimming, is in my experience, incorrect. I have tried this method many times (Cobra Mk. ...

Hiya, (I'm posting this here mainly because I'm going to refer to it for another post, in another thread, concerning the Oolite Wiki.) First of all, I'm pretty new to the game, but have recently accomplished something major, in my Oolite career: I deliberately went looking for a fight (!) I very muc...

I searched the forums, and couldn't find the appropriate thread to post this in... I got the Docking Clearance OXP (looks like it was Eric Walch who made it). I want to say, "thank you very much for that". :) I read about the 'Docking Clearance Protocol' in the 'Oolite Instruction Manual' ...

heh. Well, I like the game better already, knowing that me beer is cool, while I ply the space lanes!

Hi,

This is the first oxp I have installed for Oolite.


But I can't see it anywhere, except in my list on the ship's manifest (F5 + F5) screen.

Is this the sole function of the entire expansion pack?

cim : All right, looking forward to that. :) Smivs : Neat. I looked at some of your stuff, and you have quite the array of oxp,s. That clipper class would likely be something that my play style would appreciate, but I donèt want to break the game balance of Oolite. That led me to look at some of th...

This thread has grown to a proportion out of what it was originally intended to query. I have edited the thread title, because it has expanded into much more than just the topic of the manifest screen.... Speaking of which; since my idea of scrolling down (with the down arrow key) didn't seem to fly...

Smivs : Okay, it took a few days, but your post helped me track down a store in another city that sells Logitech equipment and they got me a joystick! It's a 'WingMan Extreme Digital 3D" (whatever that all implies - lol). It is taking me some getting used to, and am learning how to use it. The...

Ask away - we love questions here! Heh... a standard Fer-de-Lance is flashy and basically useless. Which shipset OXP are you using? Only a couple (I think) allow customised colours/decals. Your ship's name on the dashboard requires a little tinkering with graphics, and probably is only possible on ...

I may as well stay in this thread with some more questions, if that is permitted here (?). Being ignorant of so many things about the game, if one of the following is impossibly ridiculous, please excuse me now. - What is the difference in the language between; "US English", "RP Engli...

Rese249er : I have a docking computer. There's no way I could have progressed so far without one! Although, admittedly, it is not infallible... With the Cobra Mk III, it will scratch the entrance from time to time, but with the Boa Class Cruiser, it will do so more often, I estimate one chance in f...
