Oolite Bulletins

Yep these were done the hard way, all in one shape. No overlapping, no gaps, the line just starts at a point (A) on the outside of the shape, goes round the outside of the shape, back to point A, Skips to a point (B) on the inside of the shape, goes round the inside to create a hole, back to point B...

Between you, you've got them all :) repair bots, fuel tank, ETT Homing Beacon and Torpedo. co-ords for the mine and missile can be found here , and I've sent Thargoid, a PM for repair bots, which just leaves the fuel tank: { // icons for the hud "EQ_FUELTANK_MINE" = ( 0.0, 3.0, 0.2, 2.9, 1...

If you find that a quick key press is still too slow, you could try using the TAF (time acceleration factor) function. Press P to pause, then the left arrow key to slow time down, unpause (P) and everything will be damped. TAF 0.06 (slowest) is like flying in treacle. Pressing Shift+F will turn on a...

Also beware of the yellow border from having the icon selected.

I had a few months off oolite and when I came back I'd forgotten what I'd loaded my pylons with, so I played arround a little and came up with these. Any guesses?

It's worth noting that the coordinates don't have to be integers. I've changed my descriptions.plist for the fuel tank to: { // icons for the hud "EQ_FUELTANK_MINE" = ( 0.0, 3.0, 0.2, 2.9, 1.0, 2.0, 1.7, 1.0, 2.0, 0.0, 2.0,-1.0, 1.8,-1.8, 1.4,-2.4, 0.8,-2.8, 0.0,-3.0, -0.8,-2.8, -1.4,-2.4,...

perhaps instead of "if all the ships are roundish" I should have said "if I make all the ships roundish"? I realise the most of the basic ships aren't round, (its not just the flight model that's "aeroplanes in space" :) ) this was just something I got to thinking about...

Hello to you famously friendly lot, I've been doing some messing around, thinking about redesigning the various ships to have a more "realistic" (to me at least) feel. More rocket shaped, engines placed to give even thrust around the centre line, that sort of thing. I found I had a small p...
