Oolite Bulletins

Your ship comes with food dispensers. You simply say "Tea Earl Grey Hot" and it creates a random type of food for you to consume. It makes for interesting meal times. The Beootles, a rather popular Alliance band had a song called The Cobra, which spoke to the pilot/ship dilemma I'm my ship...

Is it still the case that you cannot scroll through cargo contracts?

Since it's open source, if you decided to write an OXP to fix it, then it would no longer be the case.

The big problem with the weeks=jumps condition is that it is not compatible with the bulk cargo aspect of the game. If I see that I can buy x tons of something and get paid a premium if I deliver it in x weeks, and then borrow the money from the monks to be paid back in less than x weeks (which turn...

Before an Advanced Compass became a regular thing, to find the station, I would jump into the system and put the planet in the center of my compass (the dot ) and then go as far as I could to get there, hoping nothing would shoot at me. If I was 'jump locked' by a nearby ship that wasn't shooting at...

A friend and I were talking. If they are 20 ly away, then episodes of the Simpsons and Beverly Hills 90210 are just starting to reach them. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

I'm with you on the black monks thing, but I have just gone and edited the OXP itself.

I like salvage missles despite the fact that I have yet to safely get a ship to a salvage ship and get paid for it.

Good Job.

I am surprised, I always thought the anaconda, boa and python were much bigger than the cobra mk III.

Just made me realize: I've never used it in Oolite. Didn't the escape capsule in Elite actually travel to the station and was in danger of being shot as well? Does memory serve me right or is this just what my imagination made of it? I know for certain that you are not in danger of getting shot and...
