Oolite Bulletins

So I have been paying a bit more attention. The asp was pretty far away. I fired a missle at a cobra that was closer and watched that he indeed did all sorts of evasive manuevers and the missle kept making these broad passes. From a distance, it could have been that there was not enough detail and p...

I fired a normal missle at a ship (an Asp) and was able to see the whole flight on the front view. It headed straight for the ship and then rather then hit it, it circled around the target ship as if in orbit about twenty times before simply disappearing. It was quite strange behaviour. Though missl...

Space lanes seem quiet today. Undoubtedly a lot of pilots are at a local space bar watching the Zero-Gee Tiosolan Football Championships between the Equines (Colts) and the Winged Humanoids (Saints)

Yea! Good Luck Endeavor!

Fair enough, I thought it was a bug in the software. Now that I know to hit ECM for normal missles, It makes much more sense. AMS deliberately doesn't target normal missiles (hence it's use of missile analyser), simply because it would be a waste of effort when you can just use ECM. And I also didn'...

Hey, just downloaded v1.3. It works!, I can fly into Aronar and the game doesn't crash. I'm happy about that. There's an interesting interaction between Feudal States and Deep Space Pirates. Since the Hunting Lodge is off the beaten path, travelling there results in having to fight a lot of opportun...

I just equipped by Caddy with an AMS, and was kinda disappointed with it. In my first battle, my first incoming missle, I restrain myself from hitting the ECM, because I just spent major creds on this ems, and it does nothing, the missle hit me!, to be fair it worked the second time and the third, b...

A Scanner Targeting Enhancement is really great as well.

an energy bomb or Q-mine in case you get in trouble
and/or an escape pod.

Hi,

I noticed that mil lasers on a Caduceus look different than on a Cobra.
On a Caduceus, they look like a very large green plus sign, and it's hard to tell where the exact center is. Is this intended ?

Not in the exact way you are thinking, but the Advanced Space Compass will allow you to get a quick survey of what's in a system. You can see if there are fuel stations, convenience stores, factories and prisons to trade with as well as the main station.

Makes me want to go outside and be social. See you all tomorrow.

Nice!
I had no idea the laser jutted out like that.
You would think it would be vunerable and get damaged more than it does.

...Altho some of it is typo'd (at least in the version I have - v1.61) "You made the spacelanes save" ??? The spacelanes had a notorious habit of not regularly saving projects they were working on, this led to several losses of critical data, but inspired by the pilot's brave deeds, the s...

When I found the Boa, I didn't notice his paint job because I struck at a distance. I recognized him by my STE with bounty scanner saying he was a fugitive with a huge bounty. And by the large escort of mixed fighters. I gave him some mil' laser bursts, then put a nuke on him. Then trashed the esco...
