Re: is there a way

the thing about paddling pool, is that rather than reduce traffic by telling the populator to reduce traffic, it makes the surrounding planets safer and therefore less likely to spawn nasties in Leesti and Diso. Or thats how it says it works I mean thats a problem for using it as a template for maki...

Re: is there a way

thanks for that, these are intriguing options, and offer an insight into how the game populates the systems. I like the idea of the Masslock Compenasator, but am also wondering if configurable populator might help If you can offer any insights into either (once you've had a chance to familiarise yo...

Try Wading Pool OXZ, I think it reduces ships in a system at least near the starting system of Lave.

is there a way

to reduce the number of spawned ships in the ooniverse. I dont necessarily mean the number of encounters, but the numbers of ships when the encounter takes place. I know that other players love this crowded ooniverse, but i miss my old c64 version of elite, where i'd hyperspace into Isinor meet mayb...

Re: I feel like a fool

Thanks, that makes things a little clearer. So a primeable piece of equipment can both work with the n and shift N way, and also the fast way? Tho the latter I have to specify first in the 4 menu? That’s what the two prime slots are for?

I feel like a fool

what does primeable mean in terms of equipment? Does it mean it isn’t plug and play in some way? I thought missiles and cargo shepherds etc that went in the torpedo tubes were primeable, but it turns out that other things are as well. And it seems I can only use these things one at a time Is that wh...

Yep, when the citizens die - always at home- a communal hearse picks them up seven at a time. You know like during the Black Death.

Re: Introduce Yourself.

I used to be here, then I wasn’t, then I was, and then I wasn’t. Well I’m back to play Oolite again, because I didnt take my Commodore 64 to university (no telly) and by the time I got a computer again it was for all the other things , and anyway it was a macintosh and there was no elite so no way t...

Re: Audio fails

thats ok, I'm just reporting what I'f finding rather than demanding solutions. In my office rather than my mac here, I have a machine running parallels- I'll see if the windows version runs without fault through the macs hardware. Then at least we'll know if it is a code thing or a code plus hardwar...
