Oolite Bulletins

I'm wondering why he tried to do it all by himself. Because he had a personality disorder that made him imagine anyone he allowed to become involved would try to rip him off. That was obvious from early on. I can relate to him quite a lot actually. He and I had reasonably similar journeys with our ...

Hi Selezen, it's great having you back here o7

It feels pretty good to be back Thanks

Thanks for that, but the logistics I'm talking about is making sure I can arrange an alternative carer for my wife for the day whilst I'm away :) I can navigate around that London (I love me some GPS) I just don't like it :D Daddyhoggy is insteresting in finding out more and popping back into the fo...

Interesting... Great idea and well done for organising something so cool.

I've reached out to drew and daddyhoggy to see if they're interested.

For myself that London is a logistical problem, but if I can work that out I'll do my best to be there.

Classic Elite lore seems to say one thing, traditional Oolite lore seems to say another... This is a key attraction to me. Elite and oolite SHOULD have different lore. I always see oolite as a spin off parallel universe, diverging sometime around 3100. Key difference up front is the influx of garag...

I think you may have quoted the wrong thing to link to your reply. I still maintain that I haven't written anything about human colonials not being earth humans...but I am happy to be corrected. Yeah, I see what i wrote. There's quite a lot of stuff I did back in those days that could do with a reth...

Yeah, that's a big plot hole right there. No answer to that one, sorry. If I was to make something up on the hoof, I'd say potentially there could be a clandestine link to the planetary economy. Unmanned drones could be doing naughty things in remote places to ferry goods to the station? Alternative...

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...
