How to upgrade to Oolite 1.86

Been away from Oolite for awhile, but recently returned to play. I have a well equipped ship in version 1.80 & would like to upgrade to 1.86. Can I just install 1.86 & it will keep my ship, credits, kills, OXPs, etc., or will I have to start over? This answer should be posted on the download...

Re: [RELEASE] Resistance Commander

Installed the Resistance Commander & the Dictators OXZ & accepted my first mission. The instructions are to intercept the enemy "near the early warning station of Bereed". What is the early warning station? Does that refer to the Witchspace beacon or ?? Thanks Was a bit difficult a...

Re: Needed: Play tester for an OXP

Sounds interesting. Anyway to make this work in 1.77? Some of the OXZ's can easily be converted to OXP's. I did notice that the Requires.plst states ver. 1.77, whereas the manifest.plst states ver. 1.79

Re: [Release] Rescue Stations 1.3.1

OK, thanks spara. Kind of what I figured. Hope that doesn't count against my "rescue" reputation!

Re: [Release] Rescue Stations 1.3.1

Still enjoying the Rescue Stations OXP, but ran into something that may be a glitch. Twice I have accepted a mission to escort a group to rescue a derelict vessel. During combat, the derelict was destroyed. The group leader & escorts then proceeded off at normal thrust with no attempt to jump ba...

Re: Combat balance - 1.80 and 1.82

OK, tried this OXZ in Ver 1.80 and it did seem to make a difference. I probably did about 8-10 jumps and found that I could survive most of the ambushes by 6 or so pirates, without having to dump cargo or completely run away on injectors. However, I did notice that when hyperspeed gets mass locked b...

Re: [UPDATED RELEASE] - Escort Contracts OXP - 1.5.6 (07/05/

Same thing happened to me yesterday that Diziet Sma experienced. I had saved & exited the game, and when mission was complete I had those same, crazy results in payment & zero credits. I also get the contracts available (0) on occasion. Question: can you save, but not exit the game & hav...

Question about injector speed

Question for the Oolite gurus. Is the speed while using injectors a fixed speed for all ships, or is it a factor of the actual ship's speed when not on injectors? Just curious.

Older versions of Oolite

I thought that older versions of Oolite would still be available for those with lower-end machines. Not that I need it(I have saved downloads of 1.76 & 1.77), but others might, and I am unable to locate a download link for anything other than 1.80. If the older versions of Oolite are still avail...

Re: Comms log MFD

Interesting! I converted the CommslogMFD.OXZ to an OXP, then purchased the MFD. I understand that 1.77 doesn't support MFD's, but I am able to bring up the comm logs and scroll forward, back and clear the log, while docked. At least I can review some of the comms that occurred during the heat of bat...

Re: What else did we play when Elite was king?

My favorite game, after Elite, was AH64-Apache, a helicopter gunship sim. I first played it on the C-64/128, then later on the Amiga. One of the neatest things was that you commanded a squad of Apaches, and could lead them into battle and/or split the squad and give orders for attack, withdraw, back...
