Oolite Bulletins

It's funny how the phrase generator looks like spam generator code . Another source of radio chatter could be what the ships see, essentially other ships and pirate ships. This would be useful as well because their radar coverage being different than yours if you cruise at a certain distance, it wou...

Looks like a bug reported here . It's fixed in RH 1.5.3. You can fix it yourself for an older version by editing the descriptions.plist file. Find the line reported in the bug report and add brackets around misbehaving text. If you edit the file, don't use notepad, it breaks the file. IIRC one shou...

Thank you for the appreciation. :) For target sensitivity, at first it was enabled... but I did't liked it. I found that sometimes is unreliable (I was able to hit ships when the reticle was green) and distracting. To know when I hit my target, I prefer listening to the laser sound. However, you ca...

It might be difficult to tell the difference between discharging a weapon irresponsibly (and illegally) within the aegis, and shooting at a legitimate target but missing ... but there definitely should be targets that you can shoot at. I'd suggest adding "fugitives" and "asteroids&qu...

I am amazed to see that this seems to be my most popular OXP by far... That surprises me too... I'd have thought Random Ship Names would be up there. In all fairness, randomshipnames 1.2 had 1602 downloads in about a year, and v1.3 has 485 in about four months. Display_reputation 1.1 had been up fo...

This HUD is well thought-out. The only thing I miss is the little red dot in the centre of the cross-hair and/or target sensitivity. I know there's a compatible version of sniper sight for this hud, but I find sniper HUD too unreliable. Auto-crosshair OXP doesn't seem to work properly with it either...

I've only read the few last pages of this thread, so sorry if I repeat things that have already been discussed. I feel like when people say "multiplayer", they don't necessary mean "player versus player". Just letting a bunch of player play together would be a nice enhancement: w...

Hi Astrobe, Welcome to the friendliest board this side of Riedquat. :) Oh, hi. Sorry I spent a couple hour reading this thread and others before posting, so I felt kinda like I was already in. This board is nice and friendly indeed, that's one of the two reasons I registered (the other being, that ...

I think the multi-player mode creates a brand new role. When it comes to small scale PvP team battles, what happens in other games is that players go to teamspeak, mumble or skype in order to coordinate their actions. Among them, sometimes one player is the informal leader of the team that tells/sug...
