Oolite Bulletins

I wonder what happens if I shoot it, I thought.... And we probably have a new frontrunner in the category "famous last thoughts". :mrgreen: Hehe, cheers Commander!! 8) Does anyone else often find themselves having the thought "I thought I ECM'd that?? :shock: " Just before seein...

Hey, this is a great thread. :) Couldnt sleep the other night so read these stories instead, thought I'd add my tale of woe. I'd taken on my first Galactic Navy mission from the OXP of the same name, and after several attempts, eventually destroyed the pirate base and eliminated all the pirates, wit...

Hi I already introduced myself here https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13377 but as that was some time ago, I thought I would do it again :-) My name in RL is Ben, and I was introduced to Elite by my Gran's next door neighbor who had the BBC disk version. I only had the Tape version tho...

Just encountered this fella.. nice to know He's alive and well out there in the Ooniverse!!

There was a right furball going on around it, too..

Thanks for the info folks.

Eric, thats a great idea!

Knowing my luck, the trumbles would just eat the 40-odd Tons of luxuries I'm carrying for my cargo contract!

So, I have got myself a Python, Fortune of Pleiades, and have started the interstellar 'arm' of Eddie Stobart. I thought I would also dabble in the luxury liner business so fitted out a couple of lovely cabins, complete with all the latest cryo-sleep stasis technology for those particularly long tri...

I'm on the latest driver apparently.. Back to 1.76 for this Commander!

I owe you a Leestian evil juice or two Cim, should we ever meet in a space bar somewhere

Wow, thanks for the quick response Cim.

I'll try updating the drivers. otherwise it looks like I'm back to the older version!

Cheers

Hi, I've just upgraded from version 1.76.1 to 1.77 (Windows 7). Everything is fine until I launch from the station, where my 'view' is my HUD and a 'blank' screen, which seems to cycle through various colours. I can't see the planet, and dont appear to be able to manouvre my ship. I've tried removin...

Perhaps Missions and contracts could be made available for the Anaconda if it lands on a planet (using planetfall OXP?) This means it could be made bigger, keep its existing capacity and it gets round the docking issue. Missions could be made available for the combine harvesters etc mentioned earlie...

I had a lovely BBQ last night thanks onno. Mmm tasty!

I miss my trumbles now, particularly the one with the stripe in his hair that looked like a punk!

Hey Onno, I will have a blast! Just need to solve my trumble problem! (should have known better!)

Pleb - I'm not married (yet) do you think she will wait until I get Elite?

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Its cold and white outside, wonder what I will be doing today?

Hi Thought I'd come on and say hello as you seem a freindly bunch here. I've just discovered Oolite, can't believe I haven't before! I used to play the original Elite for hours on the BBC B when I was alot younger :) I've also had a play around with the Amiga versions, when I had an Amiga, and more ...
