Oolite Bulletins

I do wish i could have a better hud though...ideally one with a targetting system that flashes red or something when my sniping is likely to hit lol Have you tried the Reticle Target Sensitive OXP? Seems to be exactly what you want. no but i will on monday thanks... (my GF bans pc games weekends as...

Hmm i played elite literally to death on bbc and C64 but.. it was many years later i tried FFE, i didnt particularly like it i have to admit. I seem to recall combat felt..clunky, i also (correct me if im mis-remembering!) remember buying a huge ship and filling it full of shield generators so it wa...

Well as i rarely trade now (prefer to fight) i am permenantly in a cobra commodore now.. its got a tiny fighting edge over the MK3, but at a cost (cargo) so i feel comfy that its not uber at all. I do wish i could have a better hud though...ideally one with a targetting system that flashes red or so...

Hi Been playing galactic navy a while now.. and its great fun (a good challenge if i have a 'no energy bomb' rule. More recently though i installed thargoid wars.. its good fun launching out to a station attack. However the last galactic missions ive run (four or five since installing thargoid wars)...

Literally five mins ago I took on a galactic navy quest, long fight, but we did well and the navy is around me. Time to go home for tea and medals! At that point, the cat decided to harrass me, and instead of w, i hit tab.. and wiped out half the navy ;) My OH doesnt understand why i have a fit of t...

Have a look at Nukes OXP.

gawd, is there anything that there isnt an oxp for

thanks

Thanks guys, ill take another look at the ships, and when im a bit better at everything try tough guys ;) One thing i do wish i could add since it would be balanced (in my opinion) is torpedos.. they could be unguided, slow, horrific to hit anything with but pack a wallop. I can remember playing fre...

Hey all. I was wondering what your views are on the signifigantly more powerful ships available.. i think they are a great option for people to choose to play (everyone has their own idea of whats good to have and its player choice). But i cant seem to decide wether to install them ;) Having played ...

Yes Sunlover72 it does. Do it! Actually a penetrating Torpedo will take it out too, if you have that OXP. If I feel like being a real git I use a Quirium mine, but only if I get there well ahead of my allies! Hehe i did it once to see what happened, but it made priates to easy since only the frigat...

WIng Commander III....Rachel Coriolis....phwaarrr. Are you requesting permission to dock, sir? lol im reading this forum at work, now all the girls in the office want to know why im laughing. Not sure if its a dodgy topic, but... do you think there will ever be an elite 4, or is it vapourware now?....

Mostly i listen to my girlfriend saying 'are you playing that damned game again?" :D Sounds like my Wife :( Even my 3 year old daughter has noticed! "Daddy's playing Oo-Ee again!" :lol: We reached a compromise, when shes watching programs on tv that i hate (soaps, x-factor etc) i pla...

I've played most of the Wing COmmander series. Prophecy was my fave, especially when i got a little ship-switcher util off the net, that allowed you to change the ships in the mission. had some fkoff mass battles w/ Devil Rays etc. I cant remember each individual episode names now..but i remember o...

Go in ahead of the reserves, find the renegate frigate, unload into it from far away; flip over, repeat with rear laser; turn back again and finish it off (and watch out for missiles). It's by far the most dangerous enemy and your colleagues aren't smart enough to gang up on it. They get involved i...

I've seen quite a few people mention Pink Floyd... which is fair enough, because they were a Space Rock band once.

What else?

Mostly i listen to my girlfriend saying 'are you playing that damned game again?"

Just curious what other space sims you guys have enjoyed and played ..or recommend?. Im having great fun on oolite right now, but do play a few other games. For me, i know its linear but i got quite into wing commander. Remember loving privateer Thought I-War 2 was good and played a fair bit though ...
