Re: Capturing in video a beginnner's first journey on Oolite.

The Telescope's Masslock borders reminded me of Shallow Space's sphered zones. That zones were beautifully crafted and i think they managed to convey a visualization of information like weapon ranges or radar. The had highlighted also the intersection of the sphere with the ship's level. https://pix...

Re: Capturing in video a beginnner's first journey on Oolite.

1) The mass-locking was not due to asteroids but to 2/3 police vessels in the bottom left of your scanner (the purple lollipops) Interesting and strange. An asteroid cant masslock me? 2) Making the sense of prices on the F8 screen without Market Observer loaded (or lots of experience) is like comba...

Capturing in video a beginnner's first journey on Oolite.

I tried to make a videocapture of a beginners first trip from Lave to Leesti. Unfortunately i lost the the part of jumping to Leestl due to technical reasons. Anyway . The interesting i think is that my video captures my agony to find the Leesti station constantly being masslocked by ... asteroids ?...

Re: A small poster that highlights basic station commands.

But why no F4 or F8? I forgot them. Market F8 and Interfaces (contracts , ships registration and ship specs) F4. I'll add them. - and how's the Ergodox layout? Any significant changes? No. But i'm polishing it a little but adding more info. - have you seen Phkb's recent work on Hermitage? It's real...

Re: The Current state of Space games in general

I am not saying that an Oolite player should change his/her gamestyle he/she likes. I think of a shared galaxy where some aspects of that shared data would be changed by a 4x freeorion client and other data 'aspect' would be changed from an Oolite client. So basically you need a shared database (wit...

Re: The Current state of Space games in general

Allow me to add a long term idea that lingers in my mind .. The idea is to combine an elite game with a FreeOrion strategy game in multiplayer united world. So imagine that there is a shared database with perhaps a blockchain to hold more stable and long turn changes. Initially we could aim lower. L...

Re: (Newbie) Moving to a new system

Thanks for feedback. I set course toward the planet at an angle , and then i approach the planet from the side . ( i mean from the side of the line defined by the bouy and the planet). That works well in avoiding pirates. So i managed to travel to Leesti and then in Diso and do some trading. Two oth...
