Oolite Bulletins

Welcome Oobi-Wan! Out of curiosity...how is it that you are halfway to elite status within oolite, and yet don't have the scanner targeting enhancement yet? :| I find it highly unlikely that you can't afford it, and my experience from both elite and oolite is that you want your ship equipped with ev...

Like Richard Smith, I find my pylon system disappearing. However, it isn't due to battle damage as I haven't let my shields be penetrated in a while (yay for the cloak, anyone?, lol). While I have the april pylon reloader, it is great as it extends how many fuel tanks I can have loaded on my ship. B...

The Galactic navy oxp is... one of the things that I think should have been within the original game. Why? Oolite is a recreation of Elite, and just like Elite, Oolite already has a Navy, Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy, which features from time to time in the core-game missions. The 'core' Navy ...

I see. Thanks for the reply. The Galactic navy oxp is, unfortunately, very core game in my opinion. It's one of the things that I think should have been within the original game. It's why I downloaded it. That being said, I understand that you don't want to go through the hassle of fixing the oxp. S...

Seven pirates - run like hell? Yes! Towards them with lasers blazing :D Aye aye, Capitan! Full throttle to the thrusters, bearing 12 0 0! :D Initiate attack plan "Quebec": arm Quirium Cascade Mine, ready fuel injectors... :twisted: Quirium Cascade Mine armed and waiting for your signal, F...

http://zireael07.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/oolite-012.png?w=900 There is only one thing a pilot can do when seeing this. Run like hell! That's what I did - and a moment later I could start the Torus drive 'cause they were on the edge of my scanner. I think it highlights the problem with the Torus...

Ah, cool stuff overall. I think the nice thing about using the tractor beam is that in a supercobra with a naval energy unit it's probably a lot faster than with a towbar. I'd just have to activate the towbar before I get to the station and voila, credits and reputation! lol. I'm gonna go ahead and ...

If I tow a ship via the tractor beam prime-able equipment from Coyote's run, will the derelict ship still degrade in value during flight? Also, it wasn't really made clear to me how a ship with a trap explodes: does the trap activate while towing, or while mining via the miner robots? Because if it'...

I'm still over 4000 kills away from being able to start this mission.... :? but I'm curious about something. The oxp is listed as being broken on the wiki page, citing an uspecified problem with the most recent version of Oolite. However, it also states that the commies and Galactic navy oxp's add t...

Interesting points all around. I've got a couple of thoughts myself: The whole bounty hunter acquiring enough credits via killing and scooping only works once you already have an iron ass. The reason for this is that it doesn't take a whole lot of firepower from your average group of offender pirate...

OOOOOOH! SHINY!!! lol.

Out of curiosity, how much testing have you done with this oxp?

Cool stuff. I presume you got my pm? For those reading this thread, when the oxp is ready to be downloaded, my ship will be the Red Lightning: Commander Huntsman. There would other wise not be any indication that it was me (unless perhaps I did a good bit of posting in the tales from the space lanes...

Well, if you submitted one just a few days ago, then I'll submit one too. This is probably one of the cooler oxp ideas out there, imho.

I know that you are still working on this oxp, Commander McLane, but I was wondering if you are still accepting applications. If so, I'll submit one via pm, though if not then I'll still download it when it comes out.
