Oolite Bulletins

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.

<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...

I set this up ages ago for people to use if they were struggling to find image hosting.

You're all still very welcome to use it.

We noticed. We're just not allowed to talk about it.

Is this not already being discussed to death in the Outworld section?

I don't think it belongs here.

i did a quick calculation when i saw the first isue in our newsagents in Australia. the first issue was $5 the second $10 then all the rest were $15. came to around $1500 for a printer that i could buy as a kit for under $1000... needless to say i didnt buy it. 3D printing is evolving so fast that ...

Interestingly, 3D printing seems to be an exception to the rule. It's a new, emerging technology that has components that collectively come to about the same amount as the full unit. Example is the 3D Print and Create magazine collection. 2 years worth of magazines and parts to build a £700 3D print...
