Oolite Bulletins

Intriguing. I'm in favour of something that lets the player essentially acquire real-estate - all characters are currently pretty much homeless, and though that does have a certain romantic appeal, there's also something to be said (in my opinion) for options for a more settled sort of character. As...

Cmd. Cheyd: that was priceless, I nearly fell out my chair! Well played

(And when the mods, out of mercy, lock this thread, I'll start another to thank them for it )

Aha! The problem was that I was out of allowable title length - I couldn't ADD any more. Great - sorted, and now we can all stop wasting our time in this obsolete thread hehehe

In a far more arcadey vein than any of the preceding: anyone remember Paradroid?

Incidentally, is there any way for me to mark this thread as "solved", or can only a mod do that? I think you just edit your original post and add the word [SOLVED] to the title. :) I tried that before I posted my question - I can edit anything in the body, but it won't let me edit the ti...

OK, so seeing as a typical witch-space jump takes several hours of in-game time, shouldn't cabin and laser temps be reset to normal at the end of a jump? There may be other such variables that should take into account the passage of time (though I would exclude Fuel Collectors from this - call it th...

Thanks, Thargoid! You're pretty helpful, for an alien bug...

does anyone remember a tank game called "Conqueror" on the amiga? it was pretty damn good, used the Virus engine Braben wrote to gen the terrain etc. used to like Battle Chess too, but nothing took my time away like Elite did. I never owned an Amiga, so I didn't see that game - but the fa...

Ah, thanks Eric, I will take a look, then. What I still find strange is the fact that an extended cargo bay was actually added to my ship (it's listed in the manifest), even though a Cobra Mk III does not start with one.

Well, the subject line pretty much sums it up. The link in the wiki is defunct...

Cholo doesn't ring any bells for me, I'm afraid. Glad to find someone else who recognises Mercenary, though. I remember being blown away by the fact that you could walk, drive, or fly. I used to get a kick out of finding certain specific vehicles tucked away here and there. That city was quite larg...

Thanks muchly! I'll take a look at it - with luck, it works under Symbian.

I loaded a Griff normalmapped Adder - it has an extended cargo bay by default, increasing cargo to 17. Not sure whether that's entirely "by the book", but at least the shiplet is playable :P Hmmm, must check the Cobra I - maybe that one's also been enhanced... hmm, that doesn't sound righ...

The coolest ship of all was the piece of cheese.

Yes! Thank you - I was trying to remember, knew there was something... unusual (off?) about the ultimate ship

That also works :) Or... the upper-atmosphere base might be there as a first stage in terraforming the ball - the bulk of the population would be employees of the terraforming institute/corporation, while the balance provide infrastructure and commerce. Or... a settlement could be primarily academic...
