Oolite Bulletins

It might be an idea to consider: Display the time needed for the service you request. Refuel, maintenance, new equipment. Usually one is not aware that these things take time, until you start the contract business and learn it the hard way.

There is a lot of handwavium, once you are docked. When I was a young boy, playing Elite, I imagined being a pilot in my daydreams. I always wondered, how life in a station might be. How comes, the bad boys never manage to kill you once you leave your ship for example. Is this a high security area, ...

Versuch macht klug (Learning by doing)

Since I am deeply involved in that killing business, I'd like to avoid trouble with those guys. Its not favorable for the annual profit expectations.

Since I have no experience with criminal records (I manage to do my pirate business unseen) - what happens if you try to dock while you are fugitive? One would expect that the ship would be confiscated at the next opportunity? The idea of GalCorp Status is that it works anywhere, not just in one sys...

As for pirates, if they recognise you as a courier, then they are not interested in you. The more you run as a courier the lower the chance of being attacked by a pirate. The type and level of ship you have can also affect there attitude. Note pirates=/=assassins. Now. that's some News!! What's the...

Hm.. I don't know. Anything that allows you to get a ship for free where you usually would have to spend months to earn the money necessary, seems like cheating.

Pays to check your HUD... So I was doing the Laenin - Xexedi trade route, and I was docking at Xexedi main. Switched off my weapons systems, since last time I hit the fire button, (which is placed rather close to the decelerate button mind you) and hit the station, getting the whole sector command ...

Another suggestion: My legal record is CLEAN. I was rewarded approx. 5000Cr for killing a JUDGE... His status was Offender. No need to comment this. I like the feeling to help out killing a Mafia Boss, but helping the Mafia killing a judge... No, honestly! You mean you find it disturbing that some ...

Diplomatic cases are the real earners, but usually come with a LOT of enemy ships. Hmm... mineral surveys are pretty good earners too, and they also attract plenty of attention. Then again, the same could be said about prototype technology and weapons designs. <grins> I carry all those mentioned, d...

I kind of feel the idea is very funny. You invest a lot of time to enable the code to enable certain OXP to have the ships cargo bay expanded. Well, If you as a pilot are in urgent need to do that, simply edit your shipdata-override.plist. It's a single player game, so if you like to cheat, here you...

Oh. Thanks. Then I should probably just update my oxz file...

There is two words to describe ones random hits ranking. If i understood this correctly, the second one indicates the real rank, like marshal, Provost, etc. The first one (green, experienced, etc.) is selected randomly. If I may make a suggestion: The random selection is senseless. Try making a sele...

I always wonder why the tell me that I get a 200Cr reward from the police instead of the 3000Cr from the insurance. What's the point?

It will be a very long way to go, if you kill by ramming... Nice idea though
I killed some poor sidewinder by ramming yesterday, when I docked on injector speed and suddenly had some oncoming traffic.

... except you need Snoopers for your BGS to run. You only need Snoopers for the mapping part of BGS (the spacelanes and sectors) - the rest runs fine. The text in the ingame oxz manager is really short, It suggested, that it deals with sound effects only? Some Spacelanes are displayed in my game -...
