Re: [Release] EscortDeck v1.0 and EscortPack v1.0

Yes, both Morrigan and Sniper ships are uber and reachable in the late stage only, at least if you worked hard for the almost 4M credits to buy these. I spent a very, very long time hauling around in a Boa Cruiser doing cargo runs to amass my millions before adding lots of OXPs to play with - I've ...

Re: [Release] EscortDeck v1.0 and EscortPack v1.0

Me again! :D I think I uncovered 2 odd bugs / quirks. 1. Injectors If you have Injectors active and go to Red Alert, your escorts launch at super speed and zoom out of scanner range in a second or two (I presume they inherit the mother ship's speed). You then have to catch up with them using Jump - ...

Re: [Release] EscortDeck v1.0 and EscortPack v1.0

This is a great OXP - thanks! :) Just 2 S8 Snipers attached to my Morrigan and it already starts to feel a bit Uber. It would be handy to have a way to disable the auto launch when entering into red alert. (Maybe called "MANUAL" status). Sometimes I want to try to force a pilot to eject so...

Re: Problems downloading OXPs

Thanks for the fast replies :D

Problems downloading OXPs

Hi, Just recently upgraded to v1.77.1 and a very nice improvement it is too :D Anyway, having played with a vanilla install other than Griffs ships OXPs for quite some time, I thought it about time I started exploring some more OXPs so I've added about a dozen various things and they all work great ...

1.65 doesn't have that wire-frame option :)

I don't think the Spectrum version had the injection system - and IIRC the jump drive (now in by default using J) was an upgrade you had to buy. I also don't think you could change ships either.

OK - I guess as long as I copy it out, if all goes TU I can put it back and revert anyway. All good. p.s. Back on topic - not had any time to continue the Constrictor hunt yet. Tired as hell and I know if I start I'll still be planet hopping come 4am... just one more... just one more... seems I lear...

OK - point taken :) The whole "test" naming was putting me off... I thought it might be buggy Beta nonsense. :oops: I want to use the Griff ships so I'll put the upgrade on my list for the weekend. Will my saved game work OK from 1.65 > 1.73.4? I'll make sure I copy it out before the upgra...

To save a Quote spamfest.... @El Viejo - No eye-candy installed yet, but have now found Griff's thread about his ship graphics... truely beautiful. Installing those is going to have to wait for the weekend when I have more time. @Zbond-Zbond - The options I have on the F2 menu are to turn Reduced De...

Constrictor Mission

Hi Just stumbled across Oolite a few days back and remembering Elite from Spectrum days (over 20 yrs ago) thought I'd give it a whirl..... OMG this is even more addictive than I remember :D Anyways, quickly made my 256 kills and set off on the Constrictor mission, made my way to Reesdice then follow...
