Oolite Bulletins

True, but I died shortly after. That particular target was a Moray, the next was an Asp with a hardhead missle.

I'm sure there is a moral in there somewhere.


(Got my first set of Shield Boosters. Fantastic stuff I must say. Now to find the Naval equipment...)

First, Hats off El Viejo! Much respect! Ive never made Elite myself, so its heartening to hear of other commanders making it to that honored position. Maybe one day. Now, I'm sure I have a thing of Riedquat ale stashed around here somewhere.... Oh, and... a leisurely cruise through my favorite anarc...

Oh for the love of! So, I jump into my usual hunting grounds. ( Ive been doing a rather lucrative trade route in G1 involving an anarchy next to a corporate system.) When I see a Rogue frigate! After changing my pants, I engaged my injectors and got right on its tail. It kept launching missles, but ...

Any way to turn down the frequency of the encounters? I'd like the various personalities to show up a little bit less then they do. I'm sure I missed the number I need to edit.

Just hit Poor. :oops: In my defense, I can't quite decide which game I want to play more, Oolite, or FFE. Recently I hit Oolite pretty hard, and have been working on my combat skills and rating. I was Average back with my original save, but I decided to restart. I always seem to get distracted! Gott...

I guess it depends on what Im in the mood for, I've done some very action-esque pieces to instrumentals from various movies. (Like the Transformers 2 soundtrack) I used to write ALOT for various roleplay forums, and was putting pages of stuff on the internet for a timelimit so that the story could c...

Hmm. Chose Trader/Hired Gun/ Bounty Hunter. Generally spend most of my time looking for good trade routes and padding my account balance. If I can find a seedy space bar between routes, well, all the better! Honestly I tend to dance around a bit. I trade, I fight, I even join up with the navy should...

Imprint cant be found here - http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Imprint
While The Dark Wheel can be found - http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/dkwheel.htm


In case anyone stumbles on this thread and hasn't read either.

I consider both to be excellent novels along with the one included with Oolite, as well as Status Quo. These four titles make up my favorite Oolite/Elite fiction. All of it is very well done. Although Imprint definately brought me down to the trader life the most. He added lots of little details and...

I think that was how I found it on Frontier Astro. Mr. Redman has quite the vocabulary. It is very well written.

Heh, my fault I guess.

I found another Elite style novella, something called 'Imprint' by Andy Redman. Quite good! Surprised I havn't heard of among the usual suspects (Dark Wheel, Frontier Stories, etc.)

Bah! So, this morning around 3AM, I woke up with a burning desire to write something. Sitting down, I plugged in the music, and started to type up my story. It was only a few hours ago when I looked it over again that I realized how cliche it was! It was a mix of Status Quo's beginning, and the Dark...

I believe so.

Ooh. Old. Uhm.. I vaguely remember a technique used by other pilots. If you buy say.. a PCC or Boa, and do a bunch of contracts, eventually your reputation goes up. Now, when this happens, you will start to get contracts for gemstones/gold and what not for big bucks. You reputation is not specific t...

Will have to give this a try, the new features really sold it for me.
