Oolite Bulletins

Evening, currently happily tooling about in a Cobra Courier when I came across a Courier SE for sale and, having had both a Wolf MkII & MkII SE, was naturally curious as to what extras you got with the SE but all you seem to get for the extra 50k is 2 less missile slots and 5t less cargo capacit...

Hi, I'd be interestd in a copy of your rejigged ship shipdata.plist too. Reply or PM me if that's OK. Ta, Edmund Welcome aboard Edmund, nice to see a fellow Acorn Electron Elite veteran, reckon we're few and far between, I remember often setting the tape load running and popping back downstairs for...

Cool, can you use 2 letters like 'HC' or similar?
I only ask as the Hacker Outposts in the Anarchies OXP use H...

The full error report for the OXP can be found here: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?p=57566#57566 Unfortunately Amen Brick only re-surfaced once again after releasing this OXP. I seem to remember that he kind of promised to fix it, but nothing has happened since. @ Nijik: If you're intereste...

Cheers for the replies, might drop this one for now then until 1.74 is available.

Hi, Not sure this is a bug but on a number of occasions I've come across a 'Fugitive Battleship' (I think, big rectangular jobbie that flies sideways!) accompanied by a large flotilla of about 15+ offender ships flying slowly in a nice V formation. First time I investigated I was able to pretty much...

If you don't have a shorter soundfile and do not like to edit the soundfile to create a short version and then make them called appropriately, there's a very simple fix: change the supercobras countdown to 15 inside it's oxp ;) Guess it won't hurt to do so anyway as larger stations often prevent ju...

Afternoon, just test driving a Supercobra and when I hit the hyperspace button the on screen countdown starts at 10 whereas the Halsis voice starts at the usual 15 and I subsequently jump while she's still counting down, any thoughts? If I go back to my Cobra Mk3 savegame voice and screen countdown ...

Ah knew it was too good to last, just downloaded the fixed version (2.2.7) and not only has my 400,000,000 credit windfall disappeared but my original hard earned 300,000'ish credits have been swiped as well! My balance now stands at 7461 credits.

Yeah I know what you mean, about the small payouts anyway! I had recovered a Boa recently and was disappointed with the payout ... It was never designed for making easy money. Revenue is based on ship mass an maxCargo. It is intentional that smaller ships are not worth the effort but specially anac...

:shock: I don't have the salvage missiles anymore, as even a full python often brought only around 2000Cr and smaller ships often returned less money than the cost of the missile. IIRC there was an adjustment afterwards, but what you write there sounds like an immense miscalculation based on uninit...

Evening, I've just completed a fairly routine recovery of a Mosquito Trader (ds), albeit with a bit of a scrap around the Dredger, when I got the Receiving Salvage Update telling me everything was ok and that "The D.S.D. Endeavour deposits NaN credits for the craft and its remaining cargo of Na...

Don't mind me, just registering my interest, can't wait for this to be formally released!
Might even fire up an old savegame to have a play with the WIP.

Cheers for the replies, sounds like it may have always been like this (by design according to Micha!) and I've only just noticed.
Doesn't appear to affect my gameplay, still fragging pirate ambushes for fun.

After having a near miss by foolishly updating my 2006 ATI graphics drivers and subsequently screwing up Oolite in the process (blobby starfields, jaggy graphics, new driver not responding on Oolite startup and C prompt launch window having to be forced to close on exiting Oolite) I managed to recov...
