Oolite Bulletins

I've yet to engage a mark that doesn't use fuel injectors to escape when you hit them a couple of times. Try to identify your target as quickly as possible, and hit 'em a couple of times. They will probably boost away and leave their friends behind - giving you ample chance to isolate them and grad...

G'day Paul, and welcome aboard! 8) Out of curiosity, how did you come across Oolite? Believe it or not it was when the Kickstarter for Elite Dangerous was going on, I made my pledge, managed to convince my wife that donating £150.00 to fund the development of a game was a really good investment, sa...

First time I've heard of somebody dreaming they were actually in the Ooniverse! Congratulations! (probably not a smart idea to tell you wife about that dream, though! :lol: ) On my last Oolite binge a few years ago I think I had an oolite dream. Certainly, while awake, after a full day of hauling a...

<shameless plug> My Contractor is a dedicated bounty-hunter ship and is well worth a look, although it is rather expensive. Even if you decide not to fly the ship yourself the OXP also comes with an NPC hunter who is very good at what he does, and a rare pirate version who will give you some good s...

I finally have a mouse, but the "configure joystick" option is not available. The game doesn't recognize the mouse. Anyone want to help me out with a tip? Did you try these: ? Shift-M enables the mouse with pitch/roll, Ctrl-Shift-M enables the mouse with pitch/yaw. Once enabled, Shift-M a...

Interesting. I'd have done it the other way around: make the long-range ones usually require a higher reputation, but significantly increase the distance component of profitability. Unlike passenger contracts, similar/identical bulk goods are available from MUCH closer sources. Crossing a Galaxy Ch...

The link appears dead, are there any other links to this hud, I'd like to try it....?

Okay, I'll re-upload version 1.1.2 later tonight and PM you the link, and you can tell me if it works okay with Oolite 1.77.

Sure!

I must admit I've felt for a long time that the rep degrades a little too quickly.. I do understand that it's time/jump based with something of a random factor thrown in for good measure, but it really should be slowed down some. Hmm... I don't know. It's only really a problem if you can't do multi...

it is so much easier to just sell everything you currently have, and then buy everything that is for sale. just two clicks, or confirmations are required, instead of depressing the arrow key many times to buy (or sell) just one at a time. Plus the game has this annoying bell ringing all the time, w...

I finally had achieved the perfect cargo racket -- got to top cargo reputation with the python, generated enough cash to switch back to a fully loaded Cobra, and switched back to the Cobra at a station where there was a gold/gems contract available. I kept multiple gem/metals contracts going with t...

Am I just being blind (which would explain my dogfighting style) or is there no link anywhere to the new updated version of the MilHUD 4000 that came out on 6th April? In the first post, top of thread, up there ^. Where it says:- Download MilHUD 4000 OXP here. The link should take you to a download...

Never mind I see them now. Yep, looky at all those kewl high end contracts .... which I can't afford! Ya need money to make money.... Well I decided to stick with the Python and just multi-task doing other RL things (except when pirates attack :) ) with schlepping stuff around in order to get / kee...

Sound familiar. I had the same problem. Instead you must use ctrl-click to centre it. Not very friendly if you constantly need the keyboard next to the mouse. :lol: That is also the reason I never really tried mouse control. The only working thing would be to go to the mouse preferences and define ...

How can I center the roll/pitch when using the mouse? Just discovered the shift-M option and I see the "middle click" to center in various threads discussing this -- but I'm using an apple mouse and there is only one button.....? Tried various things like double clicking, using ctrl- and s...

During my last Oolite addiction period about 4 years ago, I eventually hit on a great little ship. Shaped like a needle (tiny profile, very hard to hit), something like 8 missile slots, don't remember how much cargo, and fast & maneuverable. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Is it an OXP ship?...
