Oolite Bulletins

If you’re not sure whether your OXP falls under this requirement, ask. My OXP adds Kuiper Belt objects (small, remote, low albedo planetoids without stations having very specific "position" and "orientation" together with "texture" PNG's that I have originated) Not kno...

..maggots sounds rather like RealLife™ around here the Python Class Cruiser is cute, yes, and that external view through the scoop is great! but I really go for the Boa Class Cruiser, there is little better available - although I do like the Falcon-S (Kestrel&Falcon.oxp) and Pallas (Pallas.oxp)...

20,000 in one run once from the passenger Oo! That's good! Are a lot of passenger contracts needed to get up to that level of payment? I enjoy zigzagging about the place with cargo contracts, too - and they definitely improve after a medium number of successful deliveries. Getting out of a galaxy c...

In order to assign a tech level to an object, is there always a difference between the TL in the game and the TL in the code or in the wiki? Here are 4 planets' co-ordinates from galaxies 4 (written in the OXPcode as "3") and 8 (written in the OXPcode as "7") To assign a gameTL o...

That makes a definite improvement to the short range chart! It is quite nice having the odd planet elusive, like these 8) Maybe a "mission" (style) screen advising commanders that a bit of clandestine navigation was required to access Esusale TL14 or Quxaarar TL8 shipyards (by some subterf...

there is a similar pair in G4

Riusbequ (Multi-Gov. TL6) & Quzaarar (Democ. TL8)
both are Av.Agricultural

everything seems to check out, with similar tactics as when at Esusale applying

but will check out later..

thank-you I'd read the wiki entry, but have now tried varying the bits you mentioned, specifically, with interesting results. It clearly could not be assumed that the background against which any new object might be viewed would be "this" or "that" and so my query has been answer...

when System Redux is in the AddOns folder, the galactic background looks different will it look the same on everyone's screen, or is it randomly generated when I load it? i.e. would the sky always look the same at each planet regardless of who was using the OXP? any comments appreciated cheers :)

after Jameson's 1st maintenance overhaul on a Cobra Mk I (downgraded from the Mk III to get better credit balance) the lower spec ship - which had cost ? ¢100,000 - was still only worth ¢79,000, meaning that the planetfall OXP wouldn't be worth the expense at this stage of the game

..so eventually I got rid of my passenger & got 'round to buying PLC Although buying platinum (because sometimes there's a lot of it @ cheap) is a good way to accumulate galactic credits, it does require a certain amount of c a p i t a l (wot an "orrible wurd) to make p r o f i t s ( eeuuur...

the OXP's are installed as complete folders inside the AddOns

you dont want the complete folder, just the OXP, which looks like a document (with an icon on it)

Fuel Stations, Commies, FTZ and Dictators. Recently I've been using Planet Fall OXP which gives some very interesting prices on occasions, but needs heat shields and the purchase of the Planetary Landing Capability. Could that be afforded - by selling Cobra Mk III and getting a cheaper ship? needs:...

If you're a registered Macintosh user you can get replacement software from Apple in the U.S. I've done that in similar situations 1 = got struck by lightning 2 = left start up disks on railway station seat (they were subsequently stolen) You'd need to phone Apple in California: they're very helpful...

RealLife™ places many unrealistic demands on participants at this time of year

(I chose something else)

oh - thanks for the instant response.
