Oolite Bulletins

Redspear: Your models remind me of the sprites I used to design on my C=64. Lots of bas-relief to emphasize the shape. I like them a lot. So that's what it's called (I genuinely didn't know :oops: ). I'm glad one of us knows what I'm doing :lol: Thanks for the encouragement :) Meanwhile, I can't de...

...These ships are extremely fast for their size and invariably have ECM Systems (this was originally a Thargoid invention to counter Navy missiles, subsequently copied by the Navy from captured Thargoid ships ). Additionally, most Thargoid battle ships carry a few small remote- controlled ships, e...

Hi. I was addicted to Elite on my spectrum

Hi blaze and welcome!
Like you, I'm a fellow 'spec-chum'

Firstly, thanks for an amazing game - loving the OXPs and the detailing but mostly the fact that its still the same game but better!

I couldn't agree more...

You give me too much credit, Redspear. Griff did all the grunt work. All I did was lighten up some textures so they looked better without shaders. Maybe so but you did it well... I can model simple Elitey type craft and texture them, but my real handicap is a good working knowledge of Javascript. P...

Just now behind 10 other ships waiting to dock and using Cim's camera drones viewing from the dock master's position. Griff, it would be really cool to see at least one guy in a spacesuit inside the dock as a maintenance person, say in the pit you created for the Coriolis docking bay. Ooops, The St...

These look really great Redspear Woah, it's Griff! :shock: <fan mode>Your coriolis station, Sir, is the badgers... 8) </fan mode> Thanks :) I could just do wonky looking cubes and horrible mashups of spheres and pyramids for months and months when I was first starting to tinker with 3d That must ha...

That's one explanation.. :mrgreen: :twisted: the other is that I noticed something going on in the cockpit of of one of Cody's posted screenshots, so I zoomed in for a better look, and found I really had seen what I thought I saw.. :wink: Blimey! Just him and his cat :shock: ...I daren't look :lol:...

Oi! That's my trusty Mercurial Amethyst in that pic! <grins>

DS, have you been sending one of your camera drones on spying missions?

Well heck.. so do Griff's ships.. they're even lit from within, and in at least one case, if you look very closely, you can even see what appears to be a suggestion of a pilot in a chair inside.. so I don't think what you've done is particularly controversial.. :D Griff's stuff is amazing, as has b...

Will probably be forced to do some playing anyhow if only for testing purposes. Yep, that sounds like my experience of the game for the last year or two :roll: but it is fun tinkering with stuff :D There's a whole Uni Ooniverse at my fingertips :twisted: :P Ha good to be back. This side of Riedquat...

Two excellent looking ships, Redspear! Nice work.. 8) Thank you :) I've done another but this one might be a bit more controversial... Really? Why? It's still got that legendary Krait look about it.. but now with some nice detail-work. Well, I've emphasised the... 'cockpit' (gasp! :shock: )... whic...

Thus I could agree to the following: Rock Hermits get beacons once the player has docked with them . This will enable the player to re-visit a hermit whose location is already known to them. Sounds good to me. Nice idea :) Think I'll just stick to what I do best (playing the game) and leave the OXP...

Thanks for the encouragement folks :) I've done another but this one might be a bit more controversial... http://i1365.photobucket.com/albums/r742/stevensemail/krait1_zps7bb71935.jpg http://i1365.photobucket.com/albums/r742/stevensemail/krait5_zps423bab7c.jpg http://i1365.photobucket.com/albums/r742...

A new take on an old ship (even though it's In Service date isn't for another thousand years or so :wink: )... http://i1365.photobucket.com/albums/r742/stevensemail/nfdl1_zpsaeccc6cf.jpg This was my first play with Wings3D, and indeed with any form of 3D computer modelling. Anyone who uses it regula...

Something I've been working on lately...



I didn't make the texture but I do like it
