Oolite Bulletins

I'm quite sure I've seen them shooting their own missiles occasionally! Definitely. IIRC that also happened to myself a few times. Seems it's not unlikely to hit a just fired missile with your own laser firing into the same direction. Since I also have missile booster installed, that case is ruled ...

Got it.

I also notice that it seems that SDC causes NPC traffic at pirate coves, albeit they are set up to not have it. At least something seems to be causing NPC traffic at them and SDC is the most likely candidate.

3. pirate allegiance "pirates and criminals can dock here, while others may get a hostile response" The little sister of a pirate cove then. How does this work, perhaps pirates being spawned and instantly attacking after relaunch ? Or launching from the hermit ? But I never was arrested o...

The question for professional couriers is: would you assist a fellow courier being mobbed by assassins? Or would you be thankful for the diversion, and cruise blithely by? Usually they concentrate all on me and leave the other guys alone. If there's anyone...I suspect they go down quickly or head a...

For what it's worth, my current sentiment is that the current implementation of rock hermits is spot on. IMHO the market isn't economical enough even without pirate cove. Oolite core unfortunately has a lot of economical imbalances, the fact that normal inter system main station - main station trad...

With current core, docking at a good hermit can grant you ~500 cr via precious metal trade if it's sold at a high price (but still not for maximum, maybe gold at 41, platinum 77, gems 22). Most of the time it's more like 200 cr though. Some hermits seem to be more productive than most others, I thin...

It seems there are problems with the tourist starliners and Pulsar monitoring station from Tianve OXP too. Tianve does not currently have a pirate cove here (It was not created). 21:59:02.832 [script.javaScript.timeLimit]: ***** ERROR: Script "StationDockControl" ran for 1.02725 seconds an...

One quick question for anyone really: What OXP has the ship "python-x" in it? I've gone through all Smivs' shipsets (or at least, I think I have) but I'm unable to locate this particular Python. http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Aegidian's_X-Ships Got it from the Aegidian's X-Ships v1.1 OX...

It seems there is a problem if a pirate cove gets destroyed, or likely if some station gets destroyed in general; it's just that I destroy pirate coves regularly and it seems the problem happens in some system from the point on when I have destroyed the cove after jumping in but not previously. Not ...

In your equipment.plist there's requires_equipment = "EQ_EXTRA_ENERGY_UNIT"; but should be requires_equipment = "EQ_ENERGY_UNIT"; Now I can actually buy it. But for a ship with only EEU and cobra 3 energy recharge (7.2) it's not really worth it it seems as there's often not enoug...

Splinters are still processed even though the processor is damaged. I suspect it's because of the hardwiring. I don't recall whether I had the processor still available as primable, but that should not have been the case, so manual procesing (and scanning) should have been unavailable.

Whenever I try to salvage something to a super dredger, the auto pilot wreck goes into a "just move farther and farther away from the dredger in a straight line" mode when coming near to it. There is a way around this: Most of the time, docking with the dredger (normal or super) and buying...

[*] Always carry some cheap cargo, like food. If you are attacked by a group of pirates, you may get out of an otherwise nasty situation just by ejecting it and hoping that they will accept it. The economical gain when selling expensive cargo outweighs the limited loss when dropping cheap cargo. Mo...

You didn't, but that's what I gather from browsing your shipdata.plist.

Is it correct that the player versions only have 5ly fuel ? That is a total knock out criterion for journeys (parcel contracts etc).
