new oolite.exe

I have tried to follow the process of updating my oolite.exe file as described in the announcement at the top of this forum. [downloading, unzipping and replacing current with new file] Unfortunately when running the new application - it fails with error "cannot find file gnustep-basexxxxx.dll ...

Do these missions get 'spiced up' at all?? I have now had 4 missions - in not too fantastic systems - and each has been a pretty sedate 'cruise' behind the oo haul ship til its docks and then no message or notification that i have been successful (just kind of assumed I have been paid) the last miss...

Those pesky repairbots have ripped me off - AGAIN. On 3 occasions I have lost equipment after having it repaired mid flight by the bots. 1st event - i think it was fuel scoops got damaged mid battle, quick fix and lots of scooped cargo later returned to base. It was only a flight or so later i reali...

well done once again - looking forward to testing this item once wife and child have went to bed. I actually feel you have provided 'part' of the solution that I had listed on the board as part of another discussion with yourself from last week (part of welcome mat dialogue) I asked was there any wa...

Well - my own thoughts then - and although some idiot gave me a degree in software engineering - i dont suggest they make any sense. What you can do already >> With the + and - you can already toggle through 'available targets in memory' - assuming you have at least scanned / targeted the ship or it...

A very useful oxp that i have been using for a few days now - I stand in awe at the coding you guys must do. What i would love to see: on the thread of powerful information system >> a component that you can scan the ships in the area (and i just mean 'on compass'), to see who is out there, they are...

Ionics in 1.71.2 - where is the link ?

I travelled far and wide in 1.65. Great times in many missions. Before I had finished ionics - i upgraded to 1.71.2 and started back in good old lave with a bucket of bolts. Many light years later - I am back in G2 back at zaria, trying to start the ionics mission and find the Link and associated sh...

Rollen I was obviousley never here, never said anything but........ If, while in the northeast corner of G1, you happened to take your 'whoopen and a' hollerin' to the Tianve pulsar (assuming you have the oxp) and drop a wee 'E bomb' or even better, a cascade weapon. You will find yourself so much c...

have already downloaded the .1 to .2 update zip file. Assuming this is a straight forward job. Clocked in a few hours last night and managed to get for a spin. The planet did however disappear on one of my jumps to a system. Having 'took my eye off the ball' while I 'assisted' someone in peril - i t...

No - to Realistic Shipyards. Crazy - is in, didn't get the docking portal, just say through the ship, general problems with rendering of graphics followed by the obvious, Game over. That was another point. On each occasion after i died, it went back to the standard jameson profile, even though the g...

Noobie feedback on 1.71.1

Have spent far too many days on 1.65 since finding it in November. An amazing voyage i can tell you. On advice from the forum, decided to install 1.71.1, start afresh from Galaxy 1 with a clean slate and a lot more experience under my belt, looking forward to revisiting the missions where i dropped ...

Keen to get my hands on a later version as I also have the problem when a thorgoid carrier blow up - the frame rate drops to about 4 and I have to twiddle my thumbs for 2 or 3 minutes. Would stop shooting them but the 2k bounty regularily pays for a new cascase mine or a cargofull of cheap computers...

Assuming removing navy starships will remove a whole host of other ships too - I like being the brunt of naval attacks and would like to keep the others (although dont rightly know what others are in the oxp) Can i remove just one or at least reduce the liklihood of it turning up. and of course - wh...

Constellation

where have i picked up the rather impressive Star Trek styled constellation class starship from? its not listed as an item added in any of the oxp's on the wiki. Its fantastic to see but i fear it may be bombing out my PC. Currently running 1.65 (someone REALLY needs to tell what i should be running...
