Oolite Bulletins

I purchased ED a few months ago. I only started it briefly but didn't like the whole walking around on the planet training part and haven't played it since. It looks like it needs a serious investment in time for me to learn the controls. I couldn't figure out what I needed to do to open a door lol...

Your code looks pretty good. The only suggestion I would make is to include a check that your ship is actually moving before allowing fuel to be scooped. Otherwise, you could just get in range, come to a complete stop, and fill up your tank. That's a good idea. I was just thinking about a "van...

Hey. First post in a long, long time. I've recently gotten back in to Oolite and have been experimenting with different expansions and decided to give some of Stranger's a try. I like them. I like the size of the systems added by Sun Gear and related expansions but am not quite so attached to HardWa...

I think the last update mucked up the MFD. The main station show up as "Main Stationundefined."

Well, if we're doing requests, might I suggest the  Llama?

Red Alert! In aegis??? WTH? Oh, I see, 'goids. That's a fair bit more exciting that any of the times I've gotten red zoned near a station. I want to say that about a third of the time, it's few pirates have gotten a bit cheeky and follow me in. The vipers come out and chase them off. The remaining ...

Ain't you the lucky one! I always seem to get the 75 Cr, while the cops get the 425! Well, Maesin is an anarchy. Not a whole lot of cops about to nap the offenders. That guy was a pilot of whatever Renegade Stations spit out when you get too close though so he was probably a bit more valuable than ...

Cargo contracts are finally starting to pay off. Minus the deposit, I think it made me something like 90,000 credits. Picking off and scooping a few pirates here and there doesn't hurt either.

So I've tried flying around in a Kirin lately and noticed that the front laser doesn't show while in front view. I haven't tried with any of the other lasers yet. For those of you more experienced with the ship than me, is this something that can be fixed by adjusting the view_position_forward or is...

I've heard them talk about that a bit on the Lave Radio podcast. Glad to see to it becoming something.

Hey-ho. Long time no post. My computer took a nose dive and I ended up having to reformat it and because I didn't have an external backup, I lost all my Oolite stuff. Having to go back and redownload and re-edit everything to get it back to the way I had it before was a huge hassle and that killed a...

Dredger and Doom

Nice!

I'll give it a go when I get back home.

EDIT: Works great!

I'm having some problems getting this to work. Sorta. It works perfectly until I try to overwrite some of the settings which doesn't work. The settings persist even after I've sold the configuration device too. Would removing the "mission_MFDFastConfig_Data" clear that up?

Norby, had a funny scenario turn up at a Seedy space bar. An Asp Mark II was docking using the ILS, but the little glowing ball had stopped just outside the docking porting, and so had the Asp. It just sat there. I trying nudging it to no effect. Eventually I just gave up. Could the lack of a spin ...
