Oolite Bulletins

When you eject, a new ship is waiting at the mainStation. And that ship, magically, contains the passengers. Am I the only one who thinks that's just plain daft! :D Well, will anyone else take them on if someone shot down their previous transport? It might have been an assassination rather than rou...

I'd like to see them dog fighting an Imperial Courier with those controls. "Geordi, turn left, no right, roll, fire, bugger, left, TURN LEFT." Press space Commander.

That's great though, I'm gonna have a good go at that. I love the fact that the first thing it said was 'Oh okay, you can use the cursor keys.'

lol never saw that! That's cool!

Thanks McLane for your feedback. For instance, there is already a resource for collecting "often recurring scripting tasks". It is this very thread we're currently posting in. It was started about three OXPer generations ago for exactly this reason: This thread will hopefully become a usef...

Hey, since when do I have an ELITE status on the BB??

Since your 256th post!

How funny that I didn't notice that back then... since I did notice the 256!!!!

Hi all, :!: I've started a wiki page for "often recurring scripting tasks". You can find it here: [wiki]Scripting Tasks[/wiki]. Hope you all will add valuable content to it! :) I already added one task: "(HowTo) drain energy while equipment is being used (simulate energy usage)" ...

And thankfully unlike some others, you're not recommending vim to a windows user. Notepad++ is a great tool. !m! Hey, gvim is a great tool, too, and it's the most powerful editor I know (besides emacs perhaps)! But I give you that it's perhaps not the most intuitive editor, especially not for peopl...

Hello, Could anybody recommend internet radio with music similar to Eve Online soundtrack (I do not know how this genre is called..)? What music (if any) do you listen while wondering in space? :) Personally, this kind of electronic music fits "space" theme best for me, I hope I could fin...

I'm just not sure that restocking the market on launch is the right way :?. Maybe some well thought in-system cargo contracts? I also like the idea, this will make the systems feel "more alive". But I agree with spara, restocking upon launch feels a little artificial to me. Would "re...

I have deleted the last semicolon, which has got rid of one error message, but it still has a problem with the = sign. That is strange. When I copy above code into a text doxument and remove the semicolon, it opens as a correct plist. Maybe you have some kind of hidden character on that line? That ...

Wowowow... nice!!!

Like you say, at the moment, for a skilled player "fore military laser + injectors" (plus a modicum of fuel) is enough to cope with most pirates, or groups of pirates, you're likely to meet. But if it was assumed that, down the sliding scale of government types, you were likely to meet on...

I've updated the version, the link remains the same ( Star Destroyer - Nightmare Version 0.0.1 ) I believe that ... missiles = 32; ... is not going to work the devs hardcoded the maximum to 16 - curious myself what happens if you set that value higher. Hmm...? I somewhere read that 32 was the maxim...
