Oolite Bulletins

If this has been asked before, I'm sorry... the search didn't bring up anything useful, and I'm quite enthusiastic about this game. So again sorry if this has been asked before. I have found this wiki post , which outlines the ranking system and how it works. That's cool with me. The page mentions t...

You can check planetinfo.plist wiki page for description of this file. The coordinates = "152 205"; determines the x y position of a system, both in 0-255 range. Just to touch base on that - I have been able to convert this data into a MySQL version, and have begun working on something. W...

Thank you all for your replies

I figured as much, the systems being static - which is really cool, I love that.

Can anyone point me in the direction of where the data for the maps is stored? I'd like to engage into an experiment.

Well fellow pilots, what can I say? I guess the most important thing about me is that I am pretty much a space aficionado (as you may notice by my nickname). I never played the original Elite back in the day (which I do regret btw), but I had my go at this one and I found it to be the game I have be...
