Oolite Bulletins

Oh wow - hey! Back online after a few months; my last computer exploded (Literally! Main capacitor blew; it was pretty spectacular) and it's taken simply ages to rebuild everything! I do want to finish this story so I'll get into it right away.

Thank you! The Kindle version has had its own Facebook page since it was launched, and also I've been shamelessly touting the boards on message boards that I frequent. I figure some posters in local shops might help me shift a few copies, I'll get one in the library at the school where I work (it w...

Congratulations; that is a significant achievement!
It is a good story, well written and enjoyable

Do you have any particular plans to promote it? I, for one, am telling all my friends; I love Oolite and whenever I talk about it I include the fact that novels have been written about it.

Cheers!

The trip down to the planet was an uneasy one. No-one seemed to know my status; least of all me. Was I a prisoner or not? I rode down to the planet with a detachment of soldiers. They had apparently not read the 'one-size-fits-all' rulebook where soldiers are supposed to glare suspiciously at strang...

I found a buyer for electronics on an outlying Tetrahedron in the Zaaxeve system (Galaxy 2) and unloaded, making a tidy li'l profit. They had some nice luxurious items the Commisars back at the home planet would like, so I bought them up and headed back in-system. On the way out of the station's Aeg...

Wow, this is awesome! Keep up the good work! And star-jellies.... they're soooooo pretty, but... they have pretty explosive behavior too! :lol: Just remember, injectors are a commander's best friend! Oooo yes... if I hadn't had injectors you could call me 'Kingsford' and light your barbecue with me...

It is a sun and all planets killer effect. I do not see similar for planets.

Gotcha; thank you.
OK, still just working on the model - I'm certain Blender is as simple as it can possibly be but man! Click...click...click...it's supposed to do...click...AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Ok - I've always torched 'em the moment one comes on board, so I never had to deal with any of that.

Yikes - that's moderately terrifying.

I certainly haven't gotten that far; is the planet's destruction due to some kind of weapons fire, or is it a unique effect coded into the game? And if either, could it be used as a Planetkiller effect?

It struck me suddenly that the Greatest, Deadliest, Most Implacable Threat the Universe has ever known would be tons of fun to experience within Oolite But Oolite already has the Greatest, Deadliest, Most Implacable Threat the Universe has ever known, surely? http://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/thu...

Hi folks! I'm casting around, trying to find ideas to tinker with in the hopes of coming up with my own OXP sometime. It struck me suddenly that the Greatest, Deadliest, Most Implacable Threat the Universe has ever known would be tons of fun to experience within Oolite. I am, of course, referring to...

Yeah; I posted here because I couldn't find it at first - it was down on page 9. :D At any rate, I think I might know what's happening; there was nothing specifically referring to my problem but suggestions around other issues gave me something to go on. I'll have to find another Anarchy nearby to t...

Hello, folks :) As the title suggests, I'm having trouble with the mission in which amnesty is offered by GalGop in return for a combat mission. I try to keep my nose clean, but I went rogue and attacked a station in order to get Offender status and arrived at the Boehemoth with plenty of time left ...

I was just pulling into Riantiat with a bellyful of old, outdated processor parts; one of them outlying ports is paying through the nose for cheap stamped silicon. For once, the Witchpoint was clear...all that was in range was an Atlas chugging patiently towards the planet. Tempting...but no; not th...
