Oolite Bulletins

Norby, I checked out [wiki]TorusToSun[/wiki] per your suggestion in another thread. While useful for reaching distant targets, TorusToSun is interfering with the normal operation of the Torus Drive and there is no way for me to control when the extra speed kicks in. Found myself doing a lot of overs...

Thanks fellas. I'm running 1.80, but is there a really compelling reason to move to 1.81? Any drawbacks/bugs/differences in gameplay that argue against making the switch?

Exciting. I guess I wait then.

Thanks fellas. I'm running 1.80, but is there a really compelling reason to move to 1.81? Any drawbacks/bugs/differences in gameplay that argue against making the switch?

While I doubt the AI can plan tactics like that I'd love to think they deliberately lied to lure me away from the main station for an ambush... Sneaky Petes. Assassins will try to lure you out of the aegis - or follow you out of the aegis and/or through your wormhole. One of your passengers has pro...

Cody! What oxp or setting do you use to get such vast and twinkling twinkling little starfields? If you really want an oxp, [wiki]RealisticStars[/wiki] will add additional stars as well, though not as many as an in Cody's pic; it will also increase the distance to suns and, thus, the time it takes ...

If you are sure that the target has an escape pod (for example [wiki]ShipVersion[/wiki] award it to all NPCs) then you are only a pirate and not a murder. I contend I'm not a pirate if I'm not after their stuff. On the rare occasions I had an empty hold I was just cleaning up litter like any good G...

On occasion I have killed fellow traders for mass-locking me... usually don't even have room in the hold for their stuff, which I won't attack them for anyway. How does that rate on the conscience scale? Since taking up Oolite again (1.80 is GREAT, btw), Realistic Stars made sun-skimming a little to...

Thank you, maik.

Been like this for at least a week. Anybody know when/if they'll be restored?

I'm trying to decide if that ship texture reminds me most of a brick wall or a wool carpet... And yet it seems to work! :wink: That is the exclusive rush-mat exterior: bonafide hand-woven reeds encased in a transparent, heat resistant ceramic. It's the hand-craftmanship that makes it look so distin...

I have a similar problem with the loading screen showing the neolite version of the cobra mkiii...how do i get it to show griff's version? The neolite version seems to be overridden in the shipyard, showing griff's cobra mk111 models. I followed this thread and edited my savefiles so the cobra mk i...

Hah - didn't know starsoarer was in the wiki ... I'm on to my host service, but now I think about it, I have not heard from them in a while. I see I still own the domain name so we'll see. Probably just a glitch. It's a long glitch, because I've been checking at least every other day since I reinst...

Okay, got it working by manually typing in the new "ship_desc". Seems cutting and pasting with Wordpad is a bad idea. I'm guessing it messes with the formatting or something, because I'm almost certain the content of the changed "ship_desc" was the same as what now works. I disco...

Sorry, I could have been more clear in the subject line. It's not the spinning Cobra on the startup screen, but the old-school Cobra that comes out of the stations every time I launch. The intro screen shows the old models for all those other ships too, but they don't show up in the game like the ca...
