Oolite Bulletins

Enjoying the tale enough to Check in for more chapters several times a day

Wow. You know what? I play Oolite. It works. I don't care if thing X is eleventy-three times bigger/smaller/more purple than it "should" be or not. I don't care if things from fictional universe A don't match up with things in fictional universe B without having to adjust their scale or s...

If you change the scale from meters to feet the planets and ships all change whether thats larger or smaller by the same amount. Therefore the scale issues will remain the same. If you change the everything to feet and then make the planets and stations 3 times larger then the scale issue will be mu...

People who are playing Oolite loved the first game, and alot of the reasons we loved the first game didn't really transfer well into the following games. I backed Elite and I have no doubt that it will be a fantastic game, but I feel Oolite will live on, its so different from anything else in devel...

Hi,
Wouldn`t increasing police presence in safe systems be an alternative as it would increase the chance of help coming and make it more dangerous for player pirates.

Have pledged and based on Drew`s past Oolite works. Cant Wait.

Involvement in the successful mission will lead to the applicants' prior crimes and felonies being struck from his or her GalCop record
