Oolite Bulletins

Well, then WELCOME back. :) And yes! draw me a sheep! design me a ship! Right. me too I am just back, more or less. The new modem-router (Buffalo), I think I will send it back and order a different one (Netgear, that one at least has hardware switches for WLAN on/off, power on/off). And from now on ...

This milliard/billion issue is actually one of the very few instances where I see more coherence in the Anglo (?) way. (I was told it is typically US-American, but that English (UK) tend to use the milliard scheme ?) I see more coherence in it mainly because it keeps the "times 1000 makes a new...

Hej. I have an administration request, but do not feel it warrants a topic of its own ? So I am back online - new computer, new modem-router - HOORAY! But looking through my collected login notes I can not find any notes for this board. :oops: (arrgh. me stupid again) I am logged in now because my o...

Thank you both - this shall be fun. :jump:

Precisely for this reason—and because it sorts out the problems of assuming masses so nicely— it makes much more sense to assume that every time when the letter "t" or a word resembling "ton" is used in the game, they refer to a volume, not a mass . I'm afraid it doesn't - load ...

The local Viper jocks at Zaquesso didn't take too kindly to me flying a Colonial Viper on their patch: http://i973.photobucket.com/albums/ae214/Commander-El-Viejo/VipervViper1k.jpg Is that the C.V.'s standard view position, or did you tweak it for screenshots ? Without extra tweaked view position I...

Definitely! Like ship names, a good shipyard name is important.

I am not so sure if a "whatever Viper" is a good name for a ship outside of GalCop use.

to me Viper is synonym to police.

Yup. same here about the legality - MS long ago tried to have the resale of individual OEM or SBE version illegalised, but some major court ruled where they could stick that idea.

I still hope that whatever free virtual machine with my existing XP will do the trick, though.

I had been wondering about the name, too. I think to remember that Kythera was used as one synonym to "mythical all-is-better-place" , but I don't know if this use was introduced only in way later times (romanticism?), or in ancient greek times already. (It was only by this topic that I le...

Now, I will admit that every so often, I will look at the scanner and pickout a fugitive, pop in next to him, wait for him to notice and then I pop out leaving a very frustrated pirate behind.

I have to say this idea almost makes me want to install those cheat oxps.

genuine and all win7pro, for 20 PS ? :shock: so, medium AND license sticker ? I did not look in ebay for this myself, should there be genuine win7pros at roughly the same price here, that'd be a nice surprise. I am inclined to buy a laptop with win7home, because it is ~150€ cheaper than the same mod...

damn, I would have known with the 2nd clue (only ever knew the movie, though)

This is one of the side-effects of "cheating" (however you define that) : the next time it is harder to resist. * Really, to me the restrictions of a game, by not-"cheating" around them add as much (or even more) to the game experience and fun, as the - öhm - other parts of the g...

now I am annoyed with myself, resp. with our shared-TV-channel situation*. :grumpy: It was on Germnan TV 3 weeks ago (arte.tv), at a time where we do not have arte available (shared TV-channel), but whenever they have sth. on TV, they also have it on the net - for a week. :| But I do not look throug...

Firstly, I'm thinking of getting a bigger ship for carrying more cargo. Can all ships carry all the extra equipment? If so, what ship seems the best for its price in terms of cargo hold? If this is not the most important thing then what is? most notable differences probably number of missiles that ...
