Oolite Bulletins

Sorry guys, life intervenes. I can't work on this project... So if anybody thinks this is a good idea and wants to run with it, feel free to do so. I feel a trifle embarrassed about doing this, but that is the way the cookie crumbles.

Thanks for the links. You can probably expect me to be popping up all over the board asking dumb questions for the next while.

I would be interested redspear. I have been thinking about becoming part of the oolite modding community for a while, but I have very little experience in programming. So this might be where I start.

Oolite is a game that is very rich in in-game history, and it is an active universe. So it has always seemed a little odd to me that no matter how long you play, no new ships come on the market. If you think about it, car manufacturers release new models of their cars every year. So would it be poss...

Somewhere in witchspace… A group of octagonal warships sat in silence, focusing their attention on the hole in space-time before them. Lave… A lone trader popped out of the station’s docking bay and a flare of light ignited the darkness behind him as he pushed the throttle forward. Mentally, he revi...

This story is written in character for one Commander Talbot of the good ship First Blood Carrying a package for one Nuabce Zaa, on my way to Atius, I entered the communistic system of Esrece. Near the witchpoint marker there was a Penal Colony named Davysby’s Form. I was low on fuel and didn’t feel ...

Thanks, Malacandra. I appreciate it. Here's another one. >>>MESSAGE BEGINS>>> Commander's Log Day 4 TimeStamp: 2084008:18:14:41 Location: Leesti Status: Cadet Ship: Cobra Mk.III (Edge of Awesome) Equipment: Witchdrive Fuel Injectors; Fwd Frontier-Newton Yr1993 'Plasma Charger' Aft Kruger Mining Lase...

That will be all for a while I imagine, say a couple of days maybe. There is a story in here somewhere I think. E. O. Awesome has been forcefully signed up for an slot in the Universal Cooperative of Independent Commanders (UCIC). They pay his way through Officer's School and then keep him under the...

Any instructive advice will be appreciated. I want this to be a little like a game diary, as suggested by the timestamp and wording.

I don't know how regularly these will come out, but I will try to make it fairly regular, twice a week maybe. I don't know. >>>MESSAGE BEGINS>>> Commander's Log Day 1 TimeStamp: 2084004:20:14:56 Location: Lave Status: Cadet Ship: Cobra Mk.III Equipment: WDFI; Fwd Ingram Pulse Laser; Aft Kruger Minin...

However, unintended consequences aside, could this be done somehow? I might give it a try myself but my programming skills are pretty limited.

And that, please, I don't want to think about.

I didn't think of that. It would be something of a blow to have all your ships mechanics stored there and the lose it all to a hoard of thargoids.

Another thing that would be nice is to have Ship Configuration store all your stuff for free there.
