Oolite Bulletins

*deep breath* ok... please don't throw me out the airlock for this... >.< I dunno about the drive plumes, the motion effect or "streaming" so to speak, doesn't feel right to me. It makes me think of liquid more than thrust or burn particularly with the broken up particle look. If the old s...

I had a "Ship's Dog" by the name of "Peasbody" offered to me at my last stop - it's described as " conspicuously absent from checklists ". Hmmm, sounds like that blasted " offog " someone at Zaonce claimed I had once... :-) Well done sir! :D It's one of my al...

@superbatprime: Those sounds are really cool. And your idea of different sounds for different govs is a good one. If you or someone else is able to provide sounds needed the scripting part is a piece of cake. It was a spur of the moment thing, I had a mate around and I roped him into doing the voic...

Ok, I always liked the idea of a room full of traffic control guys pushing banks of buttons and wearing headsets talking to all the incoming ships. So in light of that I made a voice pack for this OXP. See what you think, inspired by that Imperial traffic controller guy that lets a shuttle full of r...

The new lasers are way more intimidating than the old style when 6 guys are blasting after you and beams are overshooting you at all angles.
They look more dangerous, they feel more dangerous, really awesome work.

Woah... if you could sell those kittens (like pylon equipment) you could breed cats to supplement income, certainly you'd need a way to offload them at some point to avoid critical kitten mass (the trumble "solution" is probably crossing the line). There'd have to be exceptions though, the...

The Dark Side?


The new lasers and the heating effect on the Griff gun barrel were made for each other.

Ehhh, I've been burned by NASA on this angle few times. A few "big announcements" relating to exoplanets were totally giving this vibe that it was going to be "the one" and it turns out to be "this one could maybe be slightly closer to the habitable zone than other ones... b...

I almost feel sorry for the guys who have to wait until tomorrow for the nightly

By tomorrow you of course mean midnight tonight right?
Midnight GMT right?
As in a mere hour and a half from now right?

I'm off tomorrow, I'm not leaving this chair.
I'm all twitchy.

Excellent!

I miss clearance after a long wait a lot and often end up just throwing the ship in and suffering the fine because I get sent to the back of the line.
This is a seriously useful tool, thank you kindly.

New laser texture in r5519

...and with that my excuse to restart from scratch has arrived and I switch to playing the nightly from now on... well, in a few hours from now... on.
I really believe the positive atmospheric impact these will have on the game will be huge.

A vicious, one-eyed, feline by the name of Lord Effingham has adopted Commander Cody - he growls a lot, but seems to like me! Ah excellent, that works! Cats for the more "morally flexible" pilot. :D I'm very happy the oxp is doing what it should so far. I know this is a relatively small o...

Something like these? http://compsoc.dur.ac.uk/~cim/oolite/ss/oolite-208.png Whaaa? :shock: I nearly fell off the chair. They look amazing, they're perfect, I mean... are you a wizard?... they'll have an amazing effect on atmosphere I think Oh man I can't wait to see these ingame. Actually I can't ...
