Sorry, I'm not understanding the question. Admittedly, today has now been going on for 15 hours, so I'm probably not doing my best reading!

Get some sleep and don't worry about it. If it doesn't make sense after that then it probably isn't worth worrying about

Don't let me put you off, in fact, please continue. However, a cruise liner company that's regulatly attacked and occasionally fatally so is bad for business to put it mildly. Safest systems only is my suggestion but (genuine question) where are these systems post raiding parties?

Redspear

Personally, I think the gunboat might make an interesting drone/thargon design. The frigate, whilst seemingly more traditional, is too reminiscent of a sandwich to me. Is it a space station or is it a custard creme? So respectful of the original that it has gone wrong, IMHO of course. IIRC, the elit...

I've often thought that the liners in the Liners OXP are just too big. Yes. Even with the scale issues Oolite has. Especially with regards to those issues. What do you think? Worth pursuing? Yes but they'd only really make sense in genuinely safe systems and I'm not sure that we have many of those ...

My thinking was to create a bunch of different sets of liveries that could then be used for the Vipers in a particular system or regions. Feel free start suggesting where these sets might best fit. The different Galactic regions are crying out to be more... different. I get that they each have a di...

Welcome (back)! Last September (2024) I had seisures, and broke a vertebra. I had surgery, I have medicine, but, we 're in April and the pain does not leave me. So I tried a few things to get distracted. [One of my ships in Elite Dangerous is called "Broken Vertebra" :D ] Sorry to hear tha...

I'd rather wait a bit for any possibly other, further input, which might assist in updating the applicable history of how all three sets of names might tie together The following counts as further input rather than necessarily assisting you... Avernus Erebus Hades Acheron Asphodel Tartarus Elysium ...

Yes!

I hereby bestow upon you the title of "Maintainer of the Galaxy Names OXP".

At last! The planet of the love starved nymphettes begging to reproduce with Earth men, the stuff of B-movie legend, is here.
Praise be, praise be...

Seriously though, sounds good and I expect I'll be giving it a try.

The most recent version of

Traffic Redistributer won't reduce pirates but it will (or at least should...) greatly increase your chance of escaping them.

It restricts most of the faster ships to the more dangerously governed systems.

I am interested in suggestions and justifications for a similar name for Chart 9 Maybe iI'm not the best person to answr this but in the present absence of others... Personally speaking, I don't like any of the names, of any of the galaxies. Bad start I know but please bear with me. What they have ...

I found Holdstock's Manual inspiring. And immersive. And just wonderful. Yeah. But Raxxla, especially, seems to have been massively inspiring to lots of people who searched the game for it - and presumably went on to search Frontier/FFE/E:D too. We even have a thread here about it (2012) and a wiki...

Redspear

I think that we can almost entirely replicate Classic Elite for the BBC. One just adds in the Energy Bomb oxp. Yay! :D :lol: As regards the Holdstock literature we can add in Lave as described, TOGY, Generation Ships, Deep Space Dredgers, Ophidians, Liners, New Cargoes, etc. See Lore Collection (Cl...

What about all Commies refusing docking if one is persona non grata in one Commie State? They are presumably the most unified of the various sub-groups of systems. Or linking it in with Bounty System oxp in some way? Well, I have a what (the idea itself), and in gameplay terms at least, I think the...
