Oolite Bulletins

1 - Style guides, when you've got different oxp creators coming at Oolite from different artistic directions and producing incredibly quality work, how do you tell them that one of them is "right" and the other is "wrong"? You are right. I agree. This is not what I meant with st...

Have you seen FFED3D? I will now :) Thanks. I have also seen a DirectX conversion of FFE. But as I do not have access to a Windows machine atm, I can not say more. I just took out the hard-disk of my old Win machine in order to set it up dual-boot/Parallels. But I need to get a big drive first, in ...

Okay, thanks, will check it out.

Or you have to dock more carefully. The Caddy is quite big, I am told. So you may try to enter the dock either higher or lower. Well, I can not rule my own lameness out completely. I tried to dock about 4 times manually and three times with the auto-pilot (SHIFT-C). Each time I crashed right in fro...

Can someone conform this. e.g for the two types of behemoths? I do not know the ships so well, that I could give a clearance on this. At least on one type of behemoth (did not know there to be more), all is fine. Yesterday I was playing as reserve in a Thargoid war scene and I successfully landed o...

In the two (one?) weeks I have it installed I got offered four Alphas and two or three Omegas. I play about 4-5 hours a week, atm. Oh, could it be, that the Caduceus can not board onto the Castle-Rocks in "Feudal States"? I always crash. Manually as well as SHIFT-C. May well be a problem w...

The organics is making this a little difficult though. Then there is the dragon refit to finish. Yes, I can imagine. Doing organic stuff on a computer seems difficult to imagine. The computer is all about pattern and order. Not chaos and "accident". It's all so even. Even if one would use...

I can see how this might annoy some people, but I was going for accuracy with this particular design sacrifices had to be made as a result.

As for me: It does not annoy me. The accuracy is of highest precedence

Amix: check the F5 equipment screen. If it says "Forward Military Laser" there, then that's what you've got. Checked. And you are right! I did look for it several times, but for some reason I must have overlooked it. I already thought, that the laser may be a custom-laser, since it alread...

The reason your getting the flashing and not a pretty light that comes from the bottom of the view screen and shoots towards your cross hairs is the targeting on the caddy is 100% accurate at any range.

That's cool You really put a lot of work (and love) into this ship!

Perhaps my response did come across a little harshly, Absolutely not! No offense taken. it wasn't meant to be a flame in any way, it was merely my opinion too. And if everyone had the same opinions, the world would be even duller than my experience of Frontiers :D Everybody is fully entitled to her...

I played FF-FE and loved the realism. This board can make you feel very alone in that opinion, but you're not. Only almost alone. :) I am surprised. But anyway....seems the other one hides well ;-) I hate Intel for bringing such lousy graphics solution to the market. This is something that is easil...

Hi, thanks for answering on these. I downloaded the oxp within the last days by directly clicking the link in your signature. oolite 1.73.4 (Mac OS X) is the one I use. After I bought the military laser I got it's cross-hair in the HUD, but the laser, judging by its beam, is still the same (green, n...

Tutorial now posted.

Nice one!

If you want a physics simulator with spaceships, you might want to try Vega Strike . It's a good example why Oolite in its comparatively simplicity is much more fun to me... Downloaded it and had a quick look at it. Hmmm...I think the gfx is boring and the music is horrible! :lol: But I did not pla...
