Oolite Bulletins

...Not quite, no.

Vaguely disturbing gorilla.

Does anyone know where I can find a download of Anisotropic's mod for JJFFE? The original site is down, and probably has been for some time. Searching Google just led me to a lot of links that all led back to the same (nonexistent) site. I've never had a chance to try it out, but from what I've hear...

Spotted a minor contradiction: Jim and Rebecca are untied on page 88, but on page 89 Rebecca is mentioned as 'struggling against her bonds' - bonds which, according to the previous page, aren't actually there anymore.

Incidentally, this story is still as awesome as ever.

The second and third Elite games both have Earth and the Sol system, but most of Galcop territory can't be visited, just the Old Worlds around Lave (my guess as to why is that Galcop didn't collapse, per se, they just retreated)

Probably just random chance - the pirates aren't in your general area at the same time you are, basically. Bear in mind you aren't the only civilian trader plying the spacelanes, so they could just be out hunting other folks.

I don't really like the insertion of ships from other media into Oolite - Star Wars and Star Trek ships belong in Star Wars and Star Trek, and don't really fit with the 'feel' of the Ooniverse in my opinion - and I'm of the same mind about Babylon 5 stuff, but regardless of my opinion those screenie...

You literally can't find a single cargo contract, of any kind? That shouldn't even be possible; although some planets don't offer contracts in my experience it should be impossible to make 15 jumps without finding a single one.

Gave it a try, and it's every bit as entertaining as I remember X-COM being. Still obviously incomplete, but stable, playable, and enjoyable.

Annoys me you can only take 8 troopers on a mission, though. Even the smallest transport in the original game could hold 12.

Starred in movie

The Galactic Navy OXP is proving to be one of my favorite mission OXPs, hands down. I love the space opera-esque battles alongside a contingent of Naval Reserve allies (and any other friendlies who happened to spawn in), and it's a fantastic way to rack up a lot of kills, provided you don't blow up....

52% done with the download of UFO: AI. Looking forward to sinking my teeth into it. I remember wasting many long hours playing X-COM when I was younger.

Assumes I'm married.

says something vague

Wait....you don't have a single OXP installed? Okay. The first thing you need to do is go to the wiki. Download and install a few OXPs, then a few more, then a few more, etc etc. Then start playing. Vanilla Oolite is basically just a framework upon which the game is built - the real meat is in the O...
