Oolite Bulletins

Happy new year everyone! How's the new job? Is it just something that brings in the roubles, or do you get to enjoy it too? And how is your new neighbourhood? Have you managed to meet anybody interesting there yet? The first few weeks were very intense but i managed to acquire a time-model that suit...

Its funny i've been playing this game/concept/non-profit-franchise for over 30 years now and i feel like i know the basics, the spectrum of different economies but i have to admit it everytime - i do not know a thing. In my humble estimation, grasping the basics of Classic Elite is relatively simpl...

I flew the passenger to his destination planet and got paid ~1800 Cr, doubling our budget including the cheap platinum from the rock hermit before. The alloys are kind of a mishap but i am sure one can sell it for a reasonable price somewhere. No major fights on the last 2 jumps so i basically got ...

Don't mind me and my kind of oolite-blog. I flew the passenger to his destination planet and got paid ~1800 Cr, doubling our budget including the cheap platinum from the rock hermit before. The alloys are kind of a mishap but i am sure one can sell it for a reasonable prize somewhere. No major fight...

Apologies - in the process of being mugged by RealLife™ They finally delivered an eye-tracking contraption for my wife today. It will take her a week or so to learn how to use it, but she will then be able to use it to speak coherently for the first time in months. :D Her operation for a feeding tu...

In consequence of my previous post i flew to Enonla and sold 30t of Minerals with a profit of .7 wich means i got the fuel cost covered. Flying was utterly boring, meeting occasional clean loners flying in 25km distance towards the station making them difficult to outrun. But no head hunters whatsoe...

Sorry i've had a few busy days and had no time to immerse further into this experiment. Ummm... As adumbrated ad nauseam in previous posts, I've problems with passenger contracts (they earn peanuts unless you take the ones involving assassins for 2,200₢ or some such) - and I'd make more from the 5TC...

You don't seem to have taken on board how utterly useless I am at combat. Why are you so transparent about that? I mean is it no perspective for you to try and improve your combat skills? If you make a mistake on the F8 commodities screen, all that happens is we either loose a little potential prof...

Would you care to take command for the next two jumps? Oresri & Laenin? We'll sell the computers at Laenin, load up on furs and then hopefully make a (commercial) killing at Xexedi. We'll probably need to take on a contract there, hopefully back via Laenin. We now have 98kg of platinum. If we c...

I'm perfectly happy with you clobbering the McNasties - no issues whatsoever. My only concern is in getting into a combat situation where I will be marmalised, andI don't expect that to happen unless you take on a high-paying contract where a number of assassins will be after the courier. That's wh...

Xexedi isn't far, there is a Xexeti too. Hope we speak about the same system. I feel like there is a slight objection towards my tendency to (admittedly gladly) shoot down offending pilots in order to collect skill and bounty. Is there any perspective from the confederady in dodging marauders? Anyho...

Question : Where was it? I found it first after reverse-following incoming ships in the zone of the station. Then i figured that it's approximately 120° away from the sun with begeabi in centre. Depending whether i'm upside down or not i just flew around the resulting accretion disc until i found i...

Also, reputations for passenger delivery don't help with parcel delivery (and vice-versa). And we will need to accept another parcel contract soonish (direction towards Xexedi) to maintain the reputation which you have already built up. What's in Xexedi? Thank you for looking! 1) Asteroid fields be...

JK? What? Is 'jk' too basic? I use it as short for just kidding. The idea was that you could have sold off a couple and made a slight profit, but it really doesn't matter. I just load up to the gills as I avoid combat by injecting out! We can get it whenever you like. I don't really know G2 so well...

Once more En route to Xexedi. Serviced and fixed up. Sold computers in poorly agricultural Ra for 101.5₢ (a good profit). Bought furs for 47.9₢ - phenomenally cheap. Also bought gold for 35.7₢. Then here at poorly agricultural Begeabi bought platinum for 64.9₢ & gems for 16.1₢. Both very cheap....
