Oolite Bulletins

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.

OK, I think I have all the basics working now. Here's version 0.1 AnacondaCruiseLiners.oxz At present, this is just the Liners. No missions or extras. That will occasionally spawn on the main WP-station route, and head to the station. They will also occasionally launch from the main station and jump...

Would it be "Maraussian" or "Marausian", do you think? I'm thinking the latter (based on inhabitants of Belarus are Belarusian), but I'm not sure.

And it's the polizia I've seen in the green and white livery.

is there a way to enter the market screen with the filter to only show in-stock commodities already on? Not at the moment.* is there a way to enter the F8F8 screen on a particular commodity Not at the moment.* is there a way to test which commodity the F8F8 screen is currently displaying? Not at th...

I thought Italian police cars traditionally had green/white colouring.

I think the core code needs three commodities for various internal reasons: slaves, minerals and alloys. They can have whatever display name you like, but as long as they have the same id, you’re good to go.

Sorry if I've caused offence. No offense at my end. I was just trying to come up with a way to keep the scope of this within reach. On the basis of your logic, the only thing that makes sense is to replace the entire fleet (or at the very least, the majority) of Vipers with samples like I've produc...

OK, Royal Vetititian is in (is it really with 3 t's?)

Given Vetitice is a Sector 1 system, and so I've made this liner only appear in sector 1, can people throw some suggestions for one's that would make sense for the other sectors? Along the same lines, I mean.
