Oolite Bulletins

With Cobra's cargo hold, it's sometimes hard to find contracts to increase reputation. Speaking of which, do the UPS missions add to only UPS rep, or bulk cargo rep too? It could be a coincidence, but after I finished a couple of UPS runs, I got suddenly offered my first gem delivery contract. With ...

Thanks for replies, everyone! How did you try? Target it and then shift-c? Oh... right. Forgot about that one! I only tried with shift-d... Notepad is evil! On saving it adds unwanted characters, Suppose that's a result of saving a file in completely wrong format somehow... or is it something more s...

Hi again! I installed the newest Oolite (PC) for my new rig today, plus a huge load of OXPs. Thoughts (and questions) so far: Configuring hud: The hud.plist is in wonderful format! It's easily edited with e.g. notepad. I edited it a bit to change colours, sizes and locations of some of the default i...

Greets! I bought a new joystick, Saitek ST90Pro. Downloaded profiler software for it, too. Anyway, during the last few weeks, I've been playing X-wing: Alliance and X-wing vs. Tie Fighter on the 'net recently. Today, this is mostly done with Errant Venture, a lobby program. Configuring your router &...

Action.Chime.In Did you guys remember the movie Leon? "The rifle is the first weapon you learn how to use, because it lets you keep your distance from the client. The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn." ...

I'm using a keyboard, having given my old joystick away a long time ago. As said previously on this thread, sniping becomes difficult, especially with a maneuverable ship. In my experience, it is possible to adapt to most other situations. And fry pirates. Docking may not be exactly smooth with keyb...

I was once fighting a bunch of pirates, probably a Random Hits pirate group. The lead ship dropped a Q-mine. I had enough fuel and injectors, so I wasn't worried. I started to run, when suddenly... hullbang.ogg! The mine was gone - I had collided with it. Speaking of collisions, Asps 2 and 4 tend to...

I have a suggestion for the opening ship crawl.

Currently the ships / objects are displayed against a black background. How about a space background with green nebulae, or better yet, a moderately fast camera that moves through space, around planet(s) and the sun?

Hi. I'm playing Trident Down on Oolite 1.72 on WinXP. One mission text said that I'd be given a homing beacon. It didn't show up on my ship's equipment list, so I assumed it would be automatically launched near the enemy fleet. Nope. Any logs that might have shed light into this were lost during a c...

I must raise my hand also. There's more and more action, but maybe it's because lately I've been scouring the corridors of not only anarchy systems, but feudal systems and the occasional multi-government corridor as well. Many times the pirates are already attacking a trading "fleet", so i...

Oolite uses random generators based on the system you are in. It tends to often select the same ships. When you remove one oxp, no matter which, this selection may change. So look if things change when removing an other, ship containing oxp. Right, thanks for the info, I might try that in the futur...

What causes this? It's the Griff Krait 1.1 downloaded from the wiki link.
The cannons point permanently at a fixed direction sometimes.

I have now destroyed one pirate base (old rock hermit) in galaxy 3. I got another such mission - destroy a base at planet Edtian. When I jump there, the game crashes before I get the controls. I can briefly see the system, and the "(adjusting)" text next to the clock before the crash. Jump...
