Oolite Bulletins

:lol: Busted! I do! I quite enjoy it in fact. Or rather, enjoyed it alot more with the time acceleration controls. Not having Witchspace injectors makes for some slow gaming. My current commander is non-strict mode (However, I'm only using graphics OXPs) so I can't say I would terribly miss it. I've...

I do so love the backstories! All of the one's mentioned here are quite good. I've never gotten around to a backstory, because I've always felt that personality is simply the byproduct of experience. As such, how can I make up a story for my character, when he will have a similar personality to myse...

Elite came out when I was little more then an idea in a bar! :lol: I started video games during my teens, and even then it wasn't until I moved out that I truly started to play games. I discovered Oolite overseas, and was hooked. Just trying to dock was infuriating, yet sooo satisfying. Then the com...

Sure is alot of assumptions being thrown around about a game that isn't even in Beta yet! :lol: While the opening post is a bit silly, I think some of you are far too defensive, slamming Elite and saying how quickly its going to die. I personally see no reason that both sims can't live in the same s...

Minor update on the kickstarter page! Just Micheal plugging another book, as well as talking about updates. From what I gather a newsletter will happen every two weeks, and a BIG update from DB himself once a month. The big updates will be on the kickstarter itself. So stay tuned folks! (Also, new c...

Its over folks. One heck of a ride.

Oh man. It was getting close there, I was genuinely worried when I first pledged.

So HAPPY that this worked out the way it did! The stretch goals are exciting, but I'm just happy to see Elite Dangerous get funded!

WOO!

I can't wait to fly with you folks if you guys are up for it.

I havn't used Kicktraq for any other KSes, but I have to say, I'm pretty unimpressed with it. I prefer Andrew Winter's Elite stat's page for this particular project, as so far, its been pretty spot on imho.

Kicktraq just isn't very accurate.

The Elite comments section has always been a bit mad.

Am pretty excited that this will at the very least get made. I'm not sure I could handle the heartbreak of this KS failing.

Also people may have de-commited for other reasons. It is the holidays after all. I really wanted to back your project, as you are by far the most promising author in my opinion. However, I had to pull, I was looking at my funds and realized I'd be lucky to back Elite with the way things are going. ...

Savage Worlds is a D6 based system that I personally love. Alot of good things going for it, but that is for another thread. Sorry to hear that! I didn't know. KS is a bit complicated for what it is. I wish they did things differently. (I.e. the ability to CHANGE pledge levels, the ability to extend...

Welcome! Always good to see another Commander around these parts. Hopefully you can kick back and stay a while. Great bunch of 'gents around these parts.

My only advice would be to keep it simple. Check Savage Worlds' for a simple and easy to get into tabletop system. The D20 system that DnD/Shadowrun/etc.etc. favors wouldn't be a good choice for an Elite style game imho (battles would take forever.) I would be excited about it, but you are right, I ...

Like table top?

I REALLY wish they had waited a few months with the kickstarter. I had to lower my pledge, because I just don't have any cash this month or next. It REALLY hurt. If they would have started it in say.. Feb. I could have easily upped my pledge by a 100 or so.

Yeah FD wasn't thinking at all.
