Oolite Bulletins

in the draft Oolite Reference Sheet I read

[O] [N] Turn the HUD off / on - while paused

on my iMac it is alt o and alt n
(rather than SHIFT O and SHIFT N) that does that

slide show sounds good..

oh I don't actually want to fly around @ 5C in a modded ship - that is really not useful for game-play at all

however there is one small problem. This: Exactly that happened a few minutes ago when I clicked on the icon for MildAudio OXP, thus starting the game (it had come up in the "Finder" window I was using to see if the OXP was hidden somewhere else as well as in the AddOns folder: it was. I ...

Just tried that out :shock: .............but can't see the essential difference between this & a ship that does, say, 5C well I can see the differences from a technical PoV, but not re. gameplay: you arrive at (or bypass) your destination (or obstacle) 5 times faster than if flying a lightspeed ...

The NavalEnergyUnit can be purchased from shipyards (once you've completed the appropriate mission), but if you have previously purchased the ExtraEnergyUnit for your ship, then the NEU becomes unavailable. So the procedure would be: 1. buy whatever ship you're admiring without an ExtraEnergyUnit in...

Many thanks for the assistance, I have Lave re-installed now and am happily admiring the surface of the famous moon. Yes, there will certainly be something preventing file access here, which I will investigate further; normally I use Safari, but sometimes try InternetExolorer, too. Although I had pr...

Best thing is to make sure no oxp has changed this availability. When you have the console installed, type: Code: EquipmentInfo.infoForKey("EQ_NAVAL_ENERGY_UNIT").techLevel It should return 99. Only with this value it can be changed by script. (e.g. RS sets this value at 16 and it stays t...

oh well, this doesn't gel with the performance on encountering Pallas here :?: :?: :?: + :?: might = :idea: with some (concentrated) internal investigation.. meanwhile, the cheek of passing craft, together with the external views while flying the vessel is a good experience for any commander. kind t...

I hear & listen to all the comments regarding file hosting facilities.

Thanks for testing the links for me, so that I know that something here (not there) is most likely the prob.

Good news from MediaFire Once you're on the download page for the file that you want to download, simply click the "Click here to start download..." link to start the download. Wishing to download the "Lave" OXP from the Wiki, I was re-directed to this website, meaning that the o...

I am quite happy for NEU only being available to some ships, as per their design spec. However in this case the ship, Pallas, does have <key>optional_equipment</key> <array> <string>EQ_ECM</string> <string>EQ_CARGO_BAY</string> <string>EQ_FUEL_SCOOPS</string> <string>EQ_PASSENGER_BERTH</string> <str...

That is interesting, because the Pallas has never had any noticeable effect on my not-very-high-end iMac

Do you happen to have RS installed? No, RS is not installed. If for whatever reason the NEU can't be purchased, does that mean it won't appear as equipment on a ship for sale either? They cost ¢50,000 to buy at TL..14 or TL..15, after completing the mission, but seemed to elevate the price charged ...

And when you are on it, remove the roles miner and scavenger from the list. The ship has no scoops so will never properly function in those roles. done however I notice that my Pallas does have scoops as standard (?) but what with one thing and another I haven't actually scooped anything yet.. edit...

Being available was a bug that was fixed in 1.73 I see - that explains why unavailable. All the saved ships that have CascadeMissiles were saved with 1.65. Now don't be surprised when pirates are lobbing those things at you That will be most welcome. I similarly enjoy their egg-laying activities in...
