Oolite Bulletins

The Galactic Co-Operative means very little to the serfs tilling the fields of a Poor Agricultural Feudal planet, or the mind-numbed drones of an Industrial Dictatorship, or the Corporate wage-slaves. We, the pilots, are the lucky ones. We're out, and free: and, shameful to admit, we don't really c...

The two well-developed versions of the lore - Selezen's & Cim's - both imply that the inhabitants of the Eight came from elsewhere. Neither seem to discuss the GS's - but Selezen's views would have been historically tinged by his wish to incorporate Frontier From what I recall of Selezen's acco...

As for E:D, the old-timers here are the people who stayed with Oolite and avoided it (maybe after dabbling in it for a bit). There was a major outflow of community members to it when it started up, few have returned (and many seem to have since moved on to other things - such as Drew, JazHaz, Selez...

Incidentally, do you have any ideas as to who actually developed the lore for Lave? All that stuff about the Empress living on the moon, Basta, the four continents etc . Was it Selezen himself, or does it predate him? Nope. No idea. Could the Lave lore have been developed somewhere in the Gazetteer...

Hey y'all. Just wanted to again raise a thread from the dead to confirm that the player group did get in touch with me and kept me up to date with what was going on. It was a good effort from the players and it was nice to get THS where it belonged for however long it lasted :) I didn't have much to...

I'm having problems unzipping old oxp's on my AppleMac. Can anybody help? *The "Dream Team" retextures from the bottom of the page here: https://daftworks.co.uk/elite/index.php/Oolite_Downloads (Selezen, 2009?) I want to see if their Adder had extendible wings as shown here ! I currently ...

Hello everyone. It's been a while. I see many posts about OXPs and resurrecting old ones. For posterity I am more than happy for people to play with, update, modify or otherwise abuse anything I've created for Oolite. I'll even provide an open letter to that effect if it's a "legal" requir...

<blinks in the beautifully rendered sunlight of the friendliest forum this side of Riedquat> I'm still around... I lurk more than often, catching up on posts and checking that you are all behaving. ;-) I still spend most of my "Elite" based time in ED, sadly, although I do play NMS and a l...

As I said on the original TOGY thread about two mins ago, well done on the new version. Looks good.

Did anyone put a new Lancet model together?

Amazing job on the "refit", chaps. Impressive work.

Thanks for doing the update, guys.

If you look deep enough into certain websites maintained by certain people who helped develop Elite you will no doubt see contradictory statements. I do remember reading a Braben quote saying that he used to RP Traveller. And I _think_ I remember one of them saying that the planetary government type...

That makes me sad.. I hope it someday comes to pass.

Never say never.

And thanks for the welcome back... Like I said, I've lurked for a few years, but probably missed LOADS.

Er. [taps mike]. Is this thing on. [brushes the dust off this topic] Er. I just wanted to say, this Elite Encounters thing. It's finished now. I released it a couple of weeks ago in PDF format. It's pretty good. Feel free to grab a copy from my online store. https://daftworks.co.uk/store. If you lik...

STUFF

Is that from a book?

Yes. One that I haven't written yet. And probably never will.

It's from a hundred or so text files in a folder on a memory stick. Just one of many unwritten Tales Of The Elite.
