Oolite Bulletins

Definitely no monsters. My attractive used spaceship salesthing exists only in my head. Is there a monsters OXP? A very occasional deep space inhabitant might be interesting. Extra Functionality: (?) I do have Planetfall installed, so my answer might be Yes here.. oh, we are missing one category he...

What's that glowing thing top left in the banner (above the Boa)?

oh yes, so it does!

I'd read that (linked) page, but never noticed the <key> possibility there; hadn't been looking for anything like that though..



cheers

During the Nova mission I lost the use of a convenient route in Galaxy 4. To remedy this I have tried to create an Add On restoring the route. So far I've managed to position an object at some distance from the volatile star, but am having difficulty locating any sort of station in the vicinity (of ...

There is an ¢8500 solution to this menace, available at the better ship outfitters, which although effective does encounter retaliatory measures from time to time. Those counter-counter-minesweeper tactics -- rated "quite unfair" in the assassin/pirates' handbook of ethics -- may often be ...

I have a saved MosquitoTrader with MilitaryShields. MilitaryShields augment ShieldBoosters; both can be fitted. If you buy an ExtraEnergyUnit however, it is not possible to buy the NavalEnergyUnit later. You'd need to buy a ship as a standard customer model - or at least one without the ExtraEU fitt...

The observations are current, and preliminary results announced last year. Dark matter can be detected indirectly and its gravitational interaction - in a general sense - suggested its presence: its properties were inferred from the behaviour of normal matter in the universe. The Newtonian element i...

in that case you need the BoaClassCruiser

looks like a fish, mooves like a fish, steers like a CobraMkIII

better at docking, too, allegedly

time dilation is not linear cf the amount of energy required to further accelerate a body already in motion (relative to the observer) any traveller ages less rapidly than they would otherwise age such a traveller arrives home younger than they would otherwise have been, not younger than when they l...

There is no connection between stars. But I'm guessing that maybe the destination star system was already generated in some sort of cache on Acorn/BBC or C64 I will investigate further.. Regarding the time taken for travel to alphaCentauri, usually estimated as 40,000 years if we decided to start th...

I have a vague recollection that it was necessary to kill Thargoids in witchspace (BBC) too, and also left machine running all night - but not in witchspace - to no effect! I guess that witchspace is the/a Non Local Universe. If so, then all "directions" will be the same direction. (and al...

sun-skimming.. oh, yes I forgot about that, and other options e.g. FreeTradeZone, R.Hermit, Behemoth esp. if a mis-jump occurs. But anyway, regarding passengers, I don't know whether carrying them contributes to the "successfully completed" contract total :?: I think that it doesn't, and ...

Doesn't bulk dealing in firearms or narcotics get you a fugitive status? Can you still dock at your destination? The fugitive status lapses after a few jumps, so by t...
