Oolite Bulletins

key_autodock (insta-dock in realtime) should work for jams. (Main stations only.)

As a pilot, I'd not be too happy about my destination being probed. In fact, I'd regard it as hostile behaviour, and take action! Why exactly ? If it's a ship that can be considered as allied even ? E.g. a trader should be pleased if a hunter is asking for his/her destination... But please, do not ...

For cargo, until you finally pick up the platinum business with a top ranking, it is difficult to obtain a reputation as often you can carry only one single contracts load at a time. Not at all. I always sell that cargo, unless the trip is very short. 2-3 systems previously to the destination I sta...

Not by aegis-botherers though (unless they're led beyond the aegis, engaged, then led back - even then, it's not certain). You can encourage them to start their attack by hitting them once as soon as the station and police is out of scanner range. Leaving the aegis isn't needed. 8) Assassins seem t...

For the main station aegis it's of course the desired behavior. Are you saying they don't attack in the main station aegis? I have no OXP stations, so I know zilch about them. Yes, and this is of course correct, as I said. But they also show this behaviour for the OXP stations mentioned, and I woul...

This may not be a bug, but I've noticed that assassins do not freely attack when the player is in the vicinity of some station. I've noticed it for mining outposts (from Rescue Stations OXP), Seedy Space Bars (from Random Hits) and now A Pirate Code (Pirate Cove OXP). Not sure for the bar, but for t...

What's up with getting parcel reputation ? I've pretty recently delivered a risk 1 and risk 2 contract but still nobody has ever heard of me delivering a parcel (again). Getting cargo contract reputation is much easier (aside from the needed cargo space). For every successful contract reputation goe...

Adding beacons to the ASC for every hermit feels like a bad idea though. The problem is similar to having too many primable equipments. When ambushed at the witchpoint I want to quickly get the beacon for some station e.g. space bar and don't want to press key_next_compass_mode a zillion times for it.

I think the problem has been with stations getting created during the "shipLaunchedFromStation" event (and others), rather than through the system populator routines. What I've tried to do is to minimise the workload when these stations are found, spreading it out through a number of iter...

Sorry, I'm still getting errors. 03:34:09.522 [script.javaScript.timeLimit]: ***** ERROR: Script "StationDockControl" ran for 5.01666 seconds and has been terminated. 03:34:09.522 [script.javaScript.stackTrace]: 0 (stationdockcontrol.js:3352) <anonymous function> 03:34:09.522 [script.javaS...

If there are systems with no hermits, then it's a bug, at least according to this note in the "oolite-populator.js" file (line 192) /* To ensure there's at least one hermit, for smugglers to dock at */ The code then goes on to add up the number of hermits in system, and if zero then it cr...

Is there at least one in every system? Yes! There are systems without any, albeit they are kinda rare. I have some data output in the log counting stations or hermits so it's not so that I just didn't find them. The maximum I have seen (in my log) is 3 hermits in a single system (+ a pirate cove). ...

Yes, thanks.
That value is not even consistent in the core scenarios (normal, strict, tutorial).

Okay thanks. One question though, where is the timestamp saved inside the file ? Searching for time, date or 2084004 doesn't help.

How would one modify this OXP to start the game with an arbitrary (possibly OXP) <ship> ? Would it suffice to create a savegame using the debug console and reference it in scenarios.plist ? How were the existing saves in Scenarios/* created ? This could be a section on this OXP's wiki page "How...
