Re: Metafiction: Dialogues on the Lore of Xlite

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...

Re: Tionisla Historical Society (ED)

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...

Re: Recovering "Lost" OXPs

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...

Re: What are the 'old' commanders doing nowadays ?

<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...

Re: Tionisla Orbital Graveyard 2.0

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?

Re: Space Travellers Guild

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...

Never say never.

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

Re: Elite Encounters: The Elite Dangerous RPG

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...

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.

Re: What is regarded as canonical in Oolite history

<blinks in the bright starlight> I lurk. Every now and again I pop up and gaze in awe at the amazingness that is the Oolite forum. Where it all began. Where I found out I wasn't alone. Ahem. Yes, the canonicity of Elite, Oolite etc... I think the official line from Frontier is that there IS no offic...
