A Feudal attempt

Maybe try a communist one: phkgb etc.

Do you have any of your old code for 1.77.1? I'd rather like to put it up on our wiki (1.77.1 is still easily downloadable). And if you have any tips for changing the Eight with our newer versions of Oolite, I'd be interested in them too! If I did it would be on an old laptop I might have it.. or a...

Procedural generation is great, but it can only do so much, and after a while you tend to see the same patterns over and over again... In the context of elite/oolite, absolutely true. However... On a large canvas, I can add a splash of blue and it needn't dominate the painting, on a smaller one tha...

Which means that if one wanted to change number of planets in a galaxy one would have to go through the code with a fine comb and replace all of this stuff with one and only one easily locatable constant with default value of 255, then change that value only once. After some time investigating aspe...

FWIW, I see three main potential benefits to having larger galaxies. OXP possibilities some of which Cholmondely has mentoned Freedom from seed generation/holy cows no need to change what's already there no need to correlate tech, government, productivity etc. in same manner Scope/Immersion - relate...

do you call it a Cob-ra, or a Co-bra?

Is that a US/UK thing? I'm closer to co-bra I think.

As for acronyms, I always thought when it could be sounded as a word... I wonder how Wildeblood would rhyme NASA?

Enjoy your descent into madness, weirdoes.

It's more an ascent in my case but thanks.

Where does could rhyme with HUD? Most places I think. How does one pronounce HUD? Like 'hood' perhaps? I'm guessing it hasn't occurred in that many poems through the centuries, so it's a little hard to be sure re rhyming convention. ...You weren't assuming it be read in full as in 'Head Up Display'...

Oh Wildeblood, oh Wildeblood why must it so grate That ye see fit this poor scribe to berate Surely not saddened that phkb Be subject to tribute instead of thee? Nay, I think that's your nature not No more than many here reading have got As to from where this Redspear doth hail According to some it'...

A verse to honour the great phkb So thinks the famous Cholmondely Perhaps he might ask the likes of me But no, he turned instead to Chat GPT So as I find myself again to be spurned I can only think how I might have turned OXP titles like 'Vimana HUD' Into rhyming couplets, I know that I could No sho...

KW and I just wonder whether catgirls count as humanoid or feline? That's what this thread needs, a profoundly serious question. Would they be 'furry catgirls', or just 'catgirls'? I'd thought that "species" (as defined by Linnaeus or whomever) was to do with breeding. If two individuals ...

The Cardassians Briefly thought you were going somewhere completely different there... (avoids obvious dereogatory, potentially unfair and legally objectionable remarks :mrgreen: ) The varied species question comes down to just one thing - Opposable Thumbs Well it certainly helps on earth and one m...

Not as tidy or aesthetically pleasing as some (possibly any) of the others but perhaps the clearest:

Not starting at Lave OXP

Similar to Nite Owl's 'Not @ Lave' but more explicit in what it does.

Seems Like A Valid Experiment:
Should Lave Anytime Violently Explode.

Start Transfer Destination OXP

You could then include the various STDs... oh, er, wait a minute...
