Oolite Bulletins

I can look at doing the same thing for this one tomorrow

I've had a bit of a think about the issue and have come up against a brick wall. Here's a summary of where I see everything: 1. HIMSN is intended to have an *almost* invisible presence in the galaxy. So, if you know where to look, you can find a base or two, but they aren't advertising their presenc...

Nuts.

I’ll post an update shortly.

...and G8, in the original design, had precisely 1 hidden outpost. It seems a waste to have all those other stations and yet not interact with them.

I suppose I could make the missions require galactic jumps, but that spoils the plan I had for an overarching story. Hmm.

So on that basis, I wouldn't make the missions galaxy independent

OK, so, G8 is looking pretty sparse for missions -- should I put them there?

As a secondary question, I'm trying to make these missions galaxy independent. But in order to do that well, I kind of need to add a Imperial Navy station to each galaxy, whereas the original vision was just Xeer (G1), Birera (G3) and Xeer (G7). Thoughts?

Context: I'm writing some missions for this OXP. The current OXP has a Constrictor that was intended for player missions. What are our thoughts on how this ship could potentially be used in missions? Obviously, there are potential missions doing something in intergalactic space. But I was thinking m...

But does "dayChanged events" mean?

"dayChanged" is the Javascript event that fires every time the game clock passed 12:00am, signalling a new day has started.

Version 0.2 is available at the previous download link. Nothing major, just a small bugfix and removal of the unnecessary effects maps.

Version 2.1 is now in the manager, which fixes an issue related to the repair price for the laser items.

So I like to have an indication of how many minutes remain until we make station dock, at present speed.

The  Navigation MFD has that information already. If you're targeting the main station on your space compass, and you're facing in that direction, it will give you the estimated travel time.

Laser Booster 2.0 should be available shortly through the download manager. I've updated this to work with any OXP laser you've got, and with LMSS and Laser Arrangement. You can switch a broken laser out while in flight for the working one, and vice versa. I also added a couple of options you can tw...

What does "HOSAS" mean?

Hands on Stick and Stick

Yep, that was in the Email System. I was attempting to make the Email system accessible from every screen, but made a mistake on the last one and forgot to check.

What does the effects map do?

Actually... I'm not sure! Possibly nothing with the updated shaders. I copied the map from Griff's Anaconda, so it's probably only doing something if I reverted to his shaders.
