Oolite Bulletins

Hi. Just in case this isn't the USB key being funny, thought it worth mentioning that I had for the second time some serious directory problems with oolite. It's presumably a problem with the USB stick but it's quite new and hasn't been used a lot, note also only oolite has been affected from what I...

Hi again I just noticed that I still get this problem. I put on the latest version of cargo wrecks and did appear to get the trumble/fur pods, at least there were messages in the cargo scoop I didn't recognise. The other day, though, I shot a pirate at some system or other, a python I think, and it ...

Okay, thanks, I'll have a look for added fur. One thing I've noticed is that I have never had any trumbles anywhere in the game after clicking "no" the first and only time that message appeared. Thanks again.

Thanks. Feel a bit bad that it got labelled "spoiler alert" but it's obvious why! I've seen the answer in the responses - I think it's been crashing into the base. Thanks for the responses.

I think I got this problem again but am posting to figure out what I missed. I picked up a message from an Anaconda, I think, to deliver some documents/parcels to the station. I went alongside, picked up the whatever-they-were, I didn't get any message about receiving gems or anything, the Anaconda ...

More info, I had this just now but didn't get a name from the id scanner. It looked a fairly new design and I did just install newer oxps earlier this evening (nearly all of those listed as 10/1/2011 in the oxp list table on the wiki including cargo wrecks and others). The container looked vaguely c...

Hi. I get a problem about half the time I get the UPS mission to destroy a pirate base with cloaking jammer; I think you need the q-mine for this, the bases don't die with four full lots of ML fire unlike the ones in the Navy add-on. I destroy all the spaceships nearby. Then I zap the base a bit; so...

Yes, it was basically an idea to fly it for fun for a while. I've been keeping the cargo rating up with gold and platinum runs so reckon I could keep that going with a constrictor while concentrating on the important business (shooting people). I haven't altered any files to get it more easily/cheap...

Having noticed the illicit unlock oxp I decided to try and get the necessary money and then hang around a TL15 planet. It's taking a long time to get the money, I'm only just over half-way there. Has anyone else gone down this road? How did you do it? Main income is from ups gold/platinum/gems deliv...

Thanks for that. Not sure what happened but I've altered things according to your suggestions so it's gone away. Perhaps I went to the wrong place as you suggest, I did get the problem last night after, ahem, a small beer, then changed the save file.

Hi. I have a mission to deliver stuffed trumbles, something to do with a museum. It didn't occur at the destination, still there in f5f5 as a mission. I did wonder if this is to do with screens overwriting or something like that. Launch/dock didn't do it. Going back in save games and trying again di...

Hello. I thought about that and had a look but two things happened which made me think that it wasn't a duplicate message thing. First was remembering occasions when I picked up more than one crate at a time and it definitely picks up the same message twice, "you scoop 1t food, you scoop 1t foo...

I just had this again. The ID system locked onto a "cargo container" (100% sure of this apart from any capital letters) and I am pretty sure that I heard the scoop system activating (80%) but no message appeared (100%) and I don't think there is any extra cargo from that pod (70% - I wasn'...

Yes - but it's annoying when someone else chips in on a kill! It's a race against time trying to get the bugger before they do!!!

Hi, thanks for responding. I am afraid I don't understand your reply, Svengali - but I suppose it was aimed elsewhere! JD, no I don't have that installed. Eric Walch, no there's no smashing against the hull, other pods smash with a bang, the main reason for posting was that there are these events wh...
