Oolite Bulletins

No you're not, I remember the sticks you mention. The first time I played Elite with one, the non-centering threw me. The stick I had did self-centre. Very precise. The Speccy version had the option to turn centering off or on. Catered for both camps! Also had a useful feature whereby there was a k...

I've got a problem with yaw. Running 1.74 under Ubuntu 9.04 with an USB Xbox 360 controller. Also does it with version 1.73.4 under Windows. The problem is this. When you specify the axis to use for yaw, it asks you to fully deflect the axis you want to use. So I do this by deflecting the right-hand...

The trouble is there are so many custom ships out there now and the temptation by their creators to specify high energy factors and military lasers makes the environment much more dangerous than the classics. Heheheh.. this is why it pays to be careful about what OXPs you install before you have an...

Anyway, got the source code and built a version with a mining laser that seems about par with what I'm used to. Remember that the NPC ships have their own values...it might be fair to increase their mining laser power as well ;) Screet Definitely. Otherwise you ruin the game :) The trouble is there...

Had a quick play with Elite TNK last night to remind myself. As I remembered, same as the classic versions re. mining lasers. Anyway, got the source code and built a version with a mining laser that seems about par with what I'm used to. Oh the joys of open source :) Tempting to spec into super lase...

The cycle time of the mining laser in Oolite is definitely slower than classic versions, but even so I'm sure it's not packing the same punch it used to. How has it been calculated for this version? weapon energy 50, reload time 2.5 mil laser has energy 23, but reload time .1 beam laser has energy ...

The cycle time of the mining laser in Oolite is definitely slower than classic versions, but even so I'm sure it's not packing the same punch it used to. How has it been calculated for this version? Kinda ruined it for me unfortunately. I've been using mining masers since 1985! Got me to Elite more ...

What's happened to the mining laser?

In Elite this always used to be the best option for sharp shooters. It could take out a Python in 4 or 5 hits. In Oolite it seems to be totally crap. I chased a Python all around a system and at least 20 hits later I gave up!

What gives?

Hey Pangloss, what HUD are you running there? Looks awesome!

Sorry if I'm being thick, but how do I override my ship in my save game file? I've tried various strings such as griff_normal, griff_cobra3_normalmapped_scuffed_texture etc but it doesn't work. Thanks! Ah, got it - griff_normalmapped_cobra_mkIII_player as defined in shipyard.plist Great looking ship...
