yeah very true, what can elite 4 really offer and improve upon, the big mistake egosoft made when they kept on releasing X games, was to make them all pretty much the same, the problem is, I think planet landings will be a problem, yes some games do have it, but not all that great, if elute 4 was to...

the game is like Duke Nukem forever, I wasn't holding my brath for that game, and certainly not holding my breath for elite 4, beside, I think many fans will expect too much from it, and that its probably can't be done with the level of computer power, maybe in 20 years

but anyway, Im not interested,

in a way I understand the explanation, but you are hurtling at a huge speed one way, it would have been better if the speed was capped, but anyway, when you encounter pirates, it did slow you down, a lot faster, otherwise you wouldn't be able to turn, as the ship would still be travelling in one dir...

I never really played FFE, I played frontier the second one, on the amiga, but as others have said, both games were flawed and seriously bugged, indeed on another forum when elites birthday came up, both the sequels popped up in discussion, and I mentioned how bugged the second one was, then someone...

yeah they aren't easy to come by, I don't suggest buying them from ebay or bidding, some are pretty steep price and simply not worth it, considering its going to be open source, I have tried myself to get hold of one, and its been pretty hard so I gave up, I think more are coming, but no idea when, ...

It is a shame it has to come to this, however I also feel the new size is very large, also it depends on bandwidth as well, I do only have a finite amount, with the updates been so many, its starts to add up, from its size of about 400meg was fine, but around 900meg that is a lot, but also as a beta...

oh dear, how things have turned bad pretty quickly, I know I haven't been on much, been doing a bunch of stuff, however after seeing this thread turn into a warzone, then sorry to say, I'm not want to be in the centre of this, so until the above issues are sorted, (yes I read a bit of it) Im staying...

try a video capture software, there are a few around, camstudio, is free, although it outputs as AVI but there are a few converters that can convert it to other formats, worth a go http://camstudio.org/ any video convert the base version is free http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_...

the new script has for the time being (but don't quote me on this) has made Oolite more stable, no crashes yet, hopefully the updated script will allow me to play for longer, will report back if the situation changes, so thanks for that pmw57

Then the bounties should be capped, and probably made lower regardless of the galaxy you are in? otherwise you end up getting very rich very quick and not bothered playing the game anymore as you have too much money

sounds pretty high for bounties, unless you were in one of the later galaxies? as they should get progressively tougher and worth more money, still not sure if they should be worth that much though?
