Oolite Bulletins

Yep, I'm on 1.77, but I started MF when I was running the previous version. I take it to get to the stolen military ship you have to kill a prerequisite amount of ships and then the location of the base will be given? I don't want to give any spoilers away but you should have had a mission screen b...

They are added randomly. You could just have been very unlucky and not encounted a stolen Military Ship yet. They're out there though! Military is really a feature of the Ooniverse once it starts. Get on with your Oolite buisness and kill Military ships when you come accross them. I can varify that...

Lots of good advise here. I recommend an iron assed cobra, maybe a boa cruiser, with any and all military upgrades you can get. Don't be afraid to run or eject. Bring a energy bomb. Once most of the bigger ships are down and stop using ECM you can use non-hardheads to deal with the robot fighters. ...

Has anyone encountered a Thargoid Carrier yet? Or a Thargoid Warship armed with a plasma accelerator?

I've encountered them several times in interstellar space, they are fearsome and deadly. My current tactic of choice is "RUN AWAY!!!".

Cim has mentioned elsewhere the idea of both expanding the spacelane Expanding in what dimension? I like the current dimensions, I think it corresponds to original Elite, and I almost always avoid the spacelane when I have "stuff to do or places to go." OXPs of course are optional, and a ...

I have a question: Is it possible to induce a Hyperspace through the interfaces (f4 screen)? If so then it could be a way of jumping (hitching) on a liner or any other big ship. If it isn't currently possible could it be implemented? I've noticed that when I dock with a Behemoth in interstellar spa...

One more bit of concrete feedback, after I took all 10 pictures (all bad) and the camera was full, I purchased a new camera on the hidden planet's station, and the description said "takes 10 pictures" but it only gave me one more picture. That is a bug. Not that you only have 1 picture on...

Can anyone tell me if this one has been posted or even made into an OXP? A massive Thargoid Armada heading towards a station/planet intent on that systems total destruction? I've got the Thargoid OXP installed and as part of my Navy reserve duty I've fought in conflict between Navy and the Thargoid...

Well I finally got a good shot with the reminders here that you need to get the station. It would be helpful for these sorts of missions if it were possible to review the full text of all the messages, like a "mission log", to save the need to physically write everything down to keep revi...

Yeah, I kept trying to frame a double-misjump to get 3.0 LY west of Biorle and had to come to the forum here to find the right jump source/destination. And the camera is kicking my butt :(. I bought a new one in the station but it only gives me one shot before being marked full. And how is this a b...

....and finally does the station need a Commodities.plist to sell the enterprising reporter some cheap stuff?? :wink: There was no stock and zero prices when I visited. I think that I intentionally set it to no-market because there can't be a market in interstellar space. I just noticed it again in...

...but I'm still a lousy shot with the rear gun. Try practicing on missiles! You know, those 'oportunities' you get when there's a hardhead on your tail and you're out of fuel. If you can hit them you can hit anything. I can't hit them! Unless they're really far away and so the "spiral" i...

If you're following a Python, then you're in the heavy populated space lane and have failed "Get to Station quickly 101". Get to Station Quickly 101: On Jumping into system - point nose of station straight "up" (90deg to Witchpoint->Planet line) I prefer to point the nose "...

Hi I've just found this games and think its great. However after 1 day of playing i decided to trade some narcotics for the profit. Now everyone is attacking me fighters and space stations. How can i clear my offender status. I only have one front laser so can't dogfight. Thanks for any help, anyon...
