Thanks, julyy! I hope you're going to love the OXP as well.

Absolutley :!::!::!:

Notes on modelling. The Adder is 30m wide. So the windows in front are about ? 15-20 meters wide? I think in all models the windows are unrealistic too big. For example the Cobra has a wide of 130 meters its windows must be about 45-50 meters wide! With this me make out of big, fulle packed hightec ...

What I cannot understand ist the first message screen you get when the constrictor mission begins. It says there: "The ship you see here is a new model ... blablabla" I think the "see here" means that it is displayed behind the message text, like the cobra in the splashscreen. Bu...

Interesting. Could you post a picture where it’s not OK?

Ah! Sorry Ahruman, the square mit the X is "Democrazy". I am very silent now ...

Maybe there should be an option in Menue to choose between classic and new designed ships??

As for me I like the current ships also very much and would not like to loose them completely. Some ships of Giles are beautiful and simple. I like that.

Found also: A sunglasses like thing everytime I launch from stations. Sometimes very big and even more closer: http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/9339/oo1wn4.th.jpg During flight, if I press "F6" and then "i", some icons arent displayed correctly. In Stations everything is ok: ht...

ArcElite! Ahh, that was it!! Thank you alot Selezen for enlightening me.

Yes I think also it looks better when you are close to a ship, but with the old look it also looked very beautyful, when a convoy draw this engine lines in space, this was always a nice atmosphere. My Point is only that this is gone now :( and that it is much harder to see the enemy whitout the scan...

Hm .. could it be, that in version 1.68 the glowing of the engines/pelts of the crafts are less intense now? I could barly see them in that version, now. I got always the new Texture Mode on. They are a little, little bit too less intense. Another thing is that I got 36T of load (with my 35t! CobMkI...

Hm what distracts me is, all models for them alone are rather good, but if you put them together the game will get a little "unsteady" look. The Textures should be out of one box. Such design things should do only one hand. Or totally overseen by a supervisor. Sorry, but thats my look on i...

I love this thread

I found an interesting site, maybe you deep field ooliters know already. I found it cause I was wondering what the original names of the galaxies are. I was used to them in acient times. I played Elite on C64. I found the names, and more: This cute programming of a guy called "Nemo" displa...

I have to press the _number_key 9 to release the energy bomb. Although I know that ascii 9 is TAB, but with TAB nothing happens.

...errr... ...those are how the planets appear on a Mac, even with no oxp's loaded, if you pause the game, and press T to turn on the procedural textures! UUuhh great. But it doesnt work. Which verison of Oolite? In 1.65 if I Pause the Game and press shift t nothing happens. I got a 2.1 G5. Please ...
