Oolite Bulletins

well... fuel normally costs only a few credits.
A year's wages to an Imperial slave, perhaps. But to an independent trader a pittance.

I remember hoarding gemstones and precious metals in the C=64 version. They did not take up any space in the hold and it was part of my Rock hermit fantasy. A barter system would work in disreputable places, and could be implemented in a scripted fashion easily enough I'd guess. edit: IIRC also trum...

Heya trucker! I know you're kinda lonely ou'dere in the black, it is really daunting! I've seen Thargoids up close in cold hyperspace and it only makes your blood run colder... But! I have found a great comfort! The greatest! Most cuddly! Sweetest and lovable thing! To battle that space paranoia fro...

good job!

Yay!

I thinking to grab a copy for /+\mas, but worried I can't wait till then not looking at it.

Huh, didnt think of a PM, couldnt find an e-mail adddres on his site. Could've searched longer probably. oh well.

Re-read your Oolite saga stories. Nice read, though the characters use pretty archaic speach, which would be more effective if only some characters were thus affected. A GalCop elitist villain is expected be overly elloquent, a poor (dangerous) tramptrader girl not so much. After reading SQ I decide...

Allright, smOoggling! :) It would make good Saint Nick present ! wait...oh bugger, thought that was 4 paperbacks. those are 50 +10 outside UK *1,2 for euros, something like 75eur. :( a bit outside secret-santa range. hmm. Will my earlier donation for a Reclamation e-book be absorbed into the new ple...

Shiny!

Installing spyware?
Running SETI search in the background, and planet search! E4 will need to find lots of planets to keep as realistic a universe as possible.

There, now everyone could launch a torpedo at my house.

Aww Oh well, I'm still hopeful that multiplayer won't be awfull. :D Fear that my AI-honed combat skills won't live up to be as effective vs humans though! Not planning on anything guild-like, simply don't have the time, but I WILL be trying my best to subvert Braben's vision of a Frontier universe. ...

'Wizz!
Establishing in E4:D the GalCoop Counsil of Unalligned Traders will be my ambition (there) as well.
SID be with you.

Still, scooping fuel should still be possible even if cargo scooping would be an impressive party trick. I don't think that should be much of a problem, as long as you mention this clearly in the owners manual. Unless it is to be used as a lone-wolf pirate or rescue ship, but iirc that is not really...

Space truckin? yeah.

I kept thinking about Star Trekkin' earlier,
but decided that this thread called for more serious concideration.
