Oolite Bulletins

A Wormhole Scanner can be useful at a busy station to make sure you get the right one, as there can be a few around. Mandatory for anyone taking cargo/parcel/passenger contracts or journeys in general. The advanced nav array is mentioned generally, but this one isn't, albeit it's much more important.

This OXP assumes that if the ship's energy is critically low the ship is actually taking damage. But I frequently am extremely low there (auto ECM cuts out) but shields are still in relatively green condition so no need to eject. The shipTakingDamage function should check for amount > 0 as a fix. No...

Why should a large ship recharge faster just because it is large? That would be illogical. Not at all. There's more space to fit generators. Look at deep space dredgers, behemoths and stations. All very large, all very high energy recharge rate. All NPC, so no "shields" and thus very high...

Your shield recharge comes 1-for-1 from your energy banks, at a standard rate of 2 units per second per shield . How is shield recharge calculated, what does 1 for 1 mean ? A few easy examples, perhaps ? The smaller a ship is, the harder to hit it is. That's true even for NPCs I noticed again, swit...

NPCs with escort role, such as the sabres accompanying the dredgers, seem to emit a few certain types of messages while nothing particular happens, such as "Now this is my sort of trip." Everyone, me, the dredger and the escorts are just sitting there on the same spot waiting for the wreck...

I've been whimpering like a baby many times so far just because the query screen popped up right before I wanted to press enter in order to enter some other menu in the station attack mission. To prevent this you could initiate the screen immediately as done in "asteroid storm" instead of ...

Is the chip for one-time-use ? How is it activated ? Not that it starts automatically. Chaotic governments grant more time I suppose. Haven't seen it sold so far...chaotic government usually comes pared with low tech and pirate coves instead of normal hermits. Generally, a long jump into a corporate...

Thanks

Don't drink and fly!

The rock hermits actually show the same behaviour, but to a much lesser extent. You could reduce the number of miner ships there, annoying masslockers. Normally you can't get to the outpost from any direcftion without being masslocked by something peaceful. Hermits have a single worm or mining trans...

Also added audible messages. Note that you should create a private function for that do-and-redo and not just apply this patch. --- Scripts/tt_worldscript_events.js | 9 ++++++++- Scripts/turret_toggler.js | 6 ++++++ 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Scripts/tt_worldscript...

Most oxps make oolite more difficult this one makes it easier for the elite hunter and useless for the starting player. The vast majority of OXPs makes it easier I'd say. Even things considered "neutral" to balance. A HUD makes it easier to aim for instance. Well, my "competent"...

The mining outpost frequently warns about "not a good time for docking, someone is coming out" and "beginning launch sequences", but most of the time no ship is coming out anyway. Only a few times something launches. If a rock hermit warns about something launching, it comes out ...

suggestions: Display the online/offline status for auto ECM, if that addon is installed and the equipment is fitted. Display the online/offline status for turrets, if turret toggler is installed and the equipment is fitted. As far as I see these are not displayed elsewhere yet as opposed to other st...

After accepting the black box mission I was shocked to realize I had to transport it back into the same system instead of just delivering at any main or RRS station. This should be made very clear previously to accepting it, not right afterwards as it can seriously ruin contract plans. Most of the t...
