Oolite Bulletins

I think I may have found a possible conflict with towbar oxp. Prior to installing Ship Config oxp I was able to use the miner and miner assistant (items from Towbar oxp) without any problems. I am finding now that using the mining option of towbar oxp results in the ships injectors being instantly d...

Just thought I'd post my findings after using towbar 0.99 Firstly I am really pleased with the increased salvage values, it feels like you are now getting more of a realistic remuneration for derelicts (considering the efforts needed to recover). :D I have also found that there seems to be an increa...

Thanks Norby.

Laser reductor on by default is great for me.

I will download towbar v0.99 and do some play testing when I can.

Thanks to you again mate

I wondered if I could make a suggestion for a further use of this oxp? My suggestion (if you're open to the idea of course) is to have the combat simulator have an option to use any player ship that is in the users library, in essence what I am asking is for the ability to use the combat simulator a...

One thing I have noted is that when using ship miner & ship miner assistant with derelict ships I always instantly end up with damaged injectors (the only thing of late that I have changed is that I am also using ship configuration oxp - so there could be a conflict). As a result I have decided ...

Hehe - I like it - the antithesis to to the BOGOF (Buy One Get One Free).

Introducing the new an improved BOGN (Buy One Get None)

Thanks again for all your endeavours phkb.

On another note your post reminds me that I really need to contact Specsavers to book a sight check

I have noticed some unusual behaviour shortly after buying a smuggling hold for my cobra mk1 (I find it helps when mining gems and precious metals). Whilst docked at a main station I decided to buy some phase scanner settings which were available at the black market option, there were 2 available, a...

Muchas gracias

:idea: A thought occurred to me (which I am sure you have already thought about and mitigated for, but just wanted to check). Could equipment storage be used in order to "cheat" smugglers oxp? By that I mean could you bulk offload cargo into storage at a station where it is legal. Travel a...

I've noticed that since the last update that I am no longer getting any heat build up when I jump into witchspace.
Anyone else found this or is it just me?

I have been using Manjaro with XFCE desktop for a number of years now and have found it fine for my purposes though I suspect that even though it is based on Arch, probably won't be what you're looking for. I haven't used any of them but perhaps one of the community releases (OPEN BOX / AWESOME / BS...

Wow!!! This oxp is AMAZING !!! I can't believe that I ever delayed installing this oxp. This is what oolite has needed, the ability to customize your ship and make it feel like it really is YOUR (almost unique) ship rather than a bog standard off the shelf model. Talk about an eye opener! After star...

Just noticed when installing updates that equipment storage uses the same oxp name as ship configuration (see screen grab below). https://i.postimg.cc/k2vMvkqm/oolite-105.png No idea whether this is of any concern (or whether it is just confusing to simple folk such as myself :? ) but though I'd bet...

I think I will install this oxp (I've been putting it off for a long time, but feel like I need something to significantly shake the game up to avoid repetitive strategies and plans). I think the added inclusion of equipment storage will be huge, especially when trading ships. I think it would proba...

Thanks phkb. With the new version in place I can confirm that I was getting maintenance overhaul option at a TL7 system, this was purchased (1200 credits as I had asset stripped my ship a bit) and I then travelled onto a neighbouring TL14 planet where I was able to purchase the maintenance tune up f...
