Oolite Bulletins

I've found it! Thanks to phkb and his galactic registry :p

I am currently thinking about the map visualization of the diverse alliances / antagonisms in my Diplomacy OXP. To begin, I thought about drawing a line in red between two opposed systems, and a line in green between two allied systems; depending on the player knowledge, of course. First, I would ta...

Interesting faction to implement.

(But everybody will wage war on you as soon as they spot you)

The 0.6 version is in the manager. :D 2 evolutions: - tech: a monstrous refactor to speed the engine, - flavor: perceived taxes now depend on the time since the last taxation. No known bug. The event system is disabled in this version. Disclaimer: It is STILL a Work In Progress. In particular, the s...

I would be very interested in the finished product :twisted: So you need to be patient until RL is not taking all my energy anymore or I will be happy to send you the code and you could include all of your ideas and publish yourself. :lol: I'll be patient, then. My own oxp takes all my available ti...

I would be very interested in the finished product

The whys and wherefores can be secondary of course (and there's no need for them to be explicit in game).
I'm seing it as an excuse to make the galaxies/sectors more varied; there may however be much better ways to do this.

I'm following you ^^

I quite like the explanation from the novel. It solves the game mystery.

I don't recall The Dark Wheel providing an explanation.. are you referring to the one Drew made in Status Quo? If so, I quite agree.

Yes

Given that there are 8 non-human inhabitants groups and 8 galaxies/sectors, a nice way to make the galaxy maps feel a little more unique might be for each one to contain a single alien group. It could even progress in terms of an evolutionary 'tree', with the 8 sectors being as far as human colonia...

(Because, another anti-hero saving the world and getting the chick is not a reason to spend 2 hours.)

Speak for yourself.. I'll cheerfully spend 2 hours watching anything with Milla Jovovich in it.

Fed up with poor visibility when using the rear view of your cobra?

Wish those exhausts weren't quite so obtrusive?

Omg I love this tweak!

Looks like Luc Besson has made another SF film, based on a comic which I know nothing about. Standard Besson tropes, visually stunning and stylish but some bits look a bit silly. Though that doesn't stop me liking 5th Element for the sheer silliness of it... https://youtu.be/IErqOmxR8x8 This comic ...

The 0.5 version is now in the manager :D Mainly, there is now an easy API for oxp developers 8) Edit: no known bug :mrgreen: Disclaimer: It is STILL a Work In Progress. In particular, the savefile format might change in the future; so it wouldn't do to expect a savefile from an old version to work w...

Not everything has to … look at all the conspiracy theories and bad science (or even just long-range weather "forecasts" *) that the media churns around. Great chunks of it have no basis in any sort of fact whatsoever - and most of that is just for clickbait, without any kind of agenda or...
