Oolite Bulletins

Thank you for the info, I will certainly give the testing a go as I have not successfully captured in many hours. I'll post findings.

Different route, same result. A Google search showed a release yesterday and I wasn't aware (I don't check the bulletins often).

So no I wasn't but yes I now am. Will that fix things?

Important thing to tell: are you on Oolite 1.84?

Going to appear quite dim. How do I tell? Can't seem to find that info displayed?

Hi all Every (and I do mean EVERY) derelict I try to collect/tug explodes on me. Every one. Every time. I am getting so frustrated. They either spin and explode through some booby-trap or explode through leaking gas whilst on my tow-bar. Every single frakking one. What have I downloaded, what has re...

Thank you - have gotten used to the hula-hoops now though!

:oops: Having updated for the first time ever (and I've been playing 18 months or so) I find the flight screen has significant changes. I have a lot of mods on my ship so I am having trouble working out what change relates to which add on and what theyu mean. My DRADIS/Radar is now full of dark-grey...

Of course - D'Oh - blindingly obvious - haven't done any though so can be excused!

Ah, thank you!

Does the game clock serve any purpose other than to mark time? My reactions/abilities don't seem to be failing even though I've been playing several hundred hours?

Hi all Never used one. Always blow up - hit space - retry. However, I'd like to be a bit more realistic in my next character and go where death = death. Obv. an escape pod is a necessity there. What does it DO? I remember vaguely in Elite that an escape pod came with a like-for-like ship-insurance p...

Stunning - thank you!

Thank you - I'll seek out Notepad+ as when I opened the file in notepad yesterday (didn't save it) all I saw were non-alphanumeric characters.

Even better! However, can anyone suggest a program in which I can open and doctor the towbar oxp?

That's a nice touch, thank you!

I like the towbar function but not the unsightly bar hanging off my Cobbie's bum: I cannot code, never really got much past basic and C. It'd be nice if there were a tractor or magnetic beam that could be activated when required. I could see the beam drawing half an energy bank when in use at modera...

Brilliant!

Had enough GAME points to get the 360 Controller, which is cheaper than their 310, so a "free" controller is winging (geddit?) its way to me as I tyoe!
