Oolite Bulletins

It's a simple matter to prevent a player buying a commodity at a station (set market quantity to 0) but is there a simple way to prevent a player from selling a commodity at a station? I'm trying to simulate a no demand situation without just lowering the market price significantly. I want to not on...

French Thargoids (Thargoids français)?

We dump cargo in your general direction and call your poet's mercy request a silly thing! etc. etc.

Have you tried uploading your new version recently?

No.

My apologies, I'm very much behind with all of my oxps.
It takes me quite a while to make sense of where each one was up to sometimes.

Here a clip from the Digibitter What? That old rag... :wink: They all had something I think but typically lacked a decent ending. Years ago I asked a friend which alien film she liked best and she said Aliens vs Predator. After my initial surprise I thought that wasn't a terrible pick/pic. The new ...

That's a long-winded way of saying, "Yes."

Long winded, certainly. Did I manage to actually say anything? Not sure that I did

And, do we all agree the movies should have stopped at two Yes. A thousand times yes. Well, I get it, the subsequent quality was 'variable' at best (I had such high hopes for Prometheus) but the second film boxed it all pretty much into a corner IMHO. They changed the life cycle and stripped it of ...

Tried adding star names...not quite right, but found one in particular highly amusing!

Better names?

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.

Enjoy your descent into madness, weirdoes.

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