Oolite Bulletins

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

There's already too much consistency, I think, between different locations in the game; I'd prefer a greater range of look and feel across different stations, system types and tech levels. Very much agree with this. <heresy>It's what stopped me playing Elite in the end: systems were just more or le...

Other than that I find Simons take on the classics quite interesting. He's also done two of the best takes on the, rather tricky, Fer-de-Lance (IMO). The Neolite one might be a bit radical but it looks like it would fit the role very well, and his re2dux F-d-L is the one that best captures the feel...

As a matter of fact, I've made an OXP to that effect: [wiki]Stationrotation OXP[/wiki]. And very good it is too :) Of course we don't want a game with all the challenge removed, but I'd argue the proper place for it is combat and trading, not a somewhat peripheral activity like docking. I'm incline...

Firstly, some context for my opinion... I played Elite on the Speccy in the 80s and I remember my early flights struggling towards Zaonce (I bought slaves in those days :twisted: ), feeling the thrill of getting to the station, heading past it towards the planet, only to smash into the front of the ...

Whilst we are talking about other potential Elite ship models I recall a thread featuring a model or OXP somebody produced featuring the ship featured on the front of the box of the original Elite game i.e. the ship shown in my avatar. Could anyone point me in the right direction to find this threa...

there's something really great about these colourful flat shaded polygons! When I first saw this look for versions of Elite, I didn't like it. I thought the simple wireframes were better as they encouraged my imagination more. Maybe it's the higher resolution on modern computers, but those screensh...

Only the main planets use Povray textures. All other planets and moons use DHS textures. No native textures used. Can't remember how it was set up though. That's how I see this project working (i.e. in the manner that you are employing DHS) but with a greater variety of textures. Well, I'm learning...

A real classic look to these and nice textures...

I like the look of that red one at the bottom
