Oolite Bulletins

Ah yes, Liners. I can't help but wonder who's bright idea it was to invite a whole bunch of rich targets onto a ship that is incapable of doing anything resembling defending itself; and leave it guarded by 5-ish dinky little boats. The escorts go first via one-shot artillery laser; probably too busy...

Stuff. Would it surprise you to know that I'm a (relatively) peaceful miner? Fully kitted Xarik Spaceplane's in Hyperdock while I try to build up cash. Torn on whether to move up to a Caduceus or keep going as a Carrier. Mining with Miner Pods, Cargo Shepherd and Escort deck is surprisingly fun; es...

Throw me on the list. I'm in a Serpent-Class Cruiser and it's faster to 1-shot that annoying Krait/Fer-De-Lance/Sidewinder/etc with my Kruger Battle Artillery Cannon than it is to fly past it.

You can do the Nova mission before Deposed. Deposed merely sets the mission to start if you haven't completed it yet.

I'd save Trident Down for last or do it along the way while completing the others. It's the longest one I've seen and the difficulty increases with each sub-mission.

You'll need to edit the game resource files, they're not available by default. Oolite\oolite.app\Resources\Config\equipment.plist Change this: ( 2, 2000, "Twin Plasma Cannon", "EQ_WEAPON_TWIN_PLASMA_CANNON", "Basic cannon delivering charged plasma bursts at sublight speed.&q...

So I wanted to add a decal or two to my ship, but no matter what I do I never seem to be able to get it right. Is there some kind of trick or editing program that I need? I've got most of it down, make a copy of the original graphic, alter the ship's data in the plist slightly, and alter the copy wi...

Scavenger missiles for me, while they're not a true missile the profits from those abandoned pythons that I happen to chance upon are nothing to laugh at. That being said, I remember making a missile that would exponentially replicate as long as there were targets. The problem was that they would ta...

I think a Killit OXP weapon would be able to destroy a main station.

Albiet along with everything else.

Is that a cruiser or the regular version? I'd say go with something else if you're planning to really mix it up.

Take both, you'll need them. Especially if you're in the later galaxies when all sorts of nasties are packing hardheads.

I'd say nab some injectors first, they cost less than half of what shield boosters do and are infinitely more useful. But to each their own.

Theoretically, if a large object (like a ship) strikes you at a tangent, it'll blow away your shield while leaving your hull and hide more or less intact. Missiles however, rely on their explosion to deal damage. Being further away from the center of the explosion deals less damage and vice versa. A...

A Cobra Mk1? You traded down? Your shields do offer protection against missiles... just not enough. Aside from the ECM and a certain other piece of hardware that you probably won't be able to get anytime soon, there isn't something to pop hardheads; at least in an un-modded game. I'd suggest buying ...

Advantage 1 isn't quite correct, as if you fire when cloaked you decloak. At which point they will see you, and in most cases get rather upset. Are you by-chance playing version 1.72? In 1.73, default ships (and all the OXP ships I've seen) don't have "cloak_passive" active. Umm Thargoid'...

Let's see, the cloaking device... Advantages: 1. All ships will not be able to track you, and will not react at all when you fire at them. 2. Missiles fired at you will instantly lose track of you upon activation - meaning you pretty much have an fail-proof ECM. 3. Your legal status won't be affecte...

If you have no other choice but to engage a frigate within its turret range... 1. Distance is health. Speed is life. 2. You'd best be sure to take down its escort first, they're seldom alone. On the other hand, they're pretty slow, so you can lure their escort away and pick them off. 3. The safest (...
