Oolite Bulletins

Different hit, same problem! :? In Galaxy 2 hunting down Yogi Phrostbite in a reliable Wolf Mk II in Esrece. Found her, took out her hired hands, chased her through two more systems, blew up her ship and got the message, "Yogi Phrostbite has ejected, delete her escape capsule". But the onl...

I do wonder what all these people will be doing out there in deep space though? Pirates won't be waiting in places where they don't expect victims I disagree, were would you expect, logically, to find a pirate hideout? Right in busy, patrolled, spacelanes (like pirate coves are now), or out somewhe...

I am thinking of anarchies and several of the larger oxp's that add renegade outposts and the like. The problem with this approach is then that a player may never find the little hollowed out rock far outside the spaceways and this then only adds uneccesary strain on the CPU.. Well Littlebear seems...

I think the jumptrick is too useful to risk getting masslocked by lots of vessels outside the lanes. But I do think that its usefulness should come at a cost. There should be a good reason why the space lanes are where they are... and why ships use them in preference to more empty space. My proposal...

Got 'er this time!... She didn't eject.
I swapped to v.1.71.2 not sure if that made any difference.

If an NPC destroys a victim's ship he may still make it to his pod.

So the hit fails... unless you are lucky enough to stumble across the pod in the vastness of space (before a NPC scoops it)?... Hmmm.

I was flying a standard Cobra III against a level 3 mark in an unusually painted Anaconda. Once the mark ejected before I even tracked her down. And twice she ejected after unleasher her robot asp fighters and a whichspace jump. After blowing up her ship I got the mark has ejected message, but the p...

I thought that the "target ejected" (but not really) bug had been squashed, I have had this problem three times with the same hit now.
Running oolite 1.71.1 and RH 1.2

Gonna try upgrading to 1.71.2 and see if that changes anything.

Go to the OXP download section of the wiki and download some fun! I recommend the galaxy one specific mission OXPs; Black Baron, Longway Round, Asteroid Storm, Spy Hunter, Taranis Corp HQ. Other worthwhile, galaxy independent, missions are; Random Hits, Military Fiasco, Local Hero, Oo-Haul, UPS Cour...

Alternatively, you could just download and install the ship OXPs you DO want... and thereby avoid some of RS3s unintended effects too.

Sounds like you might have video card issues, I do too. I don't see space dust, unless flying toward the sun. Clearskies.OXP can help a little, you can edit the planetinfo.plist to up the ambient level to unrealistic values... mine's at 7 (I can pick out the station now).

I just launched from station and there was a line of 'em from station to whichpoint... faaasands of 'em!

Happened twice now, shall I remove this OXP?

they do. But not as spectacular as I would have hoped. :? I was thinking more in a Q-mine kinda way... with bonus fuel pods to be scooped afterwards! In my mind, they should not need escorts, and because they have (literally) fuel to burn... they should run on the sunskimmers route, from star to WP...

Will you be fixing the erm... less megalomaniac... (ahem) versions, v.1 and v.2?

Personally not crazy about way it has developed away from it's original brief... but whatever floats your boat.

And you can get rid of some of those missions (or at least put them aside). Some missions are galaxy specific (assassins, Black Baron, long way round etc), so you only need to include them when you arrive in that galaxy (check their documentation for specifics). If you really want to keep the shipya...
