Oolite Bulletins

Nice, I enjoyed reading those. Added my latest and most memorable umm... miscalculations

Scrapping with a group of pirates as usual, I have one of them in my sights. I'm on his tail and while he's doing a good job with the evasives I have him well and truly beaten. He knows it and hits the injectors. Stubbornly refusing to let the kill go, I do likewise and head off after him. He's got ...

Launching from station Random I did my usual lolipop check (where's that Fugitive SuperCobra? etc) when I come across something I've not seen before. The scan reads something along the lines of "Orbital Platform (Hijacked): Fugitive". I figure I'm right next to the station so I'll have som...

Traded in the Cobra III today for a Terrapin. Ok so the name doesn't sound very threatening but it flies well!

So we've established that a.) I haven't acidentally cheated or been cheated - good to know! and b.) I can't count

Thanks for the reply, I can get back to blowing things up and not looking at my back up save thinking "should I?"

Jumped into the system and the Constrictor was on me right away. Fought with it for a while and everything was go...

Seems my "hello" topic has turned into a scientific debate :shock: :D I went down the military laser route this time. Either the mining laser isn't quite the weapon it was in Elite, or I'm not the gamer I was when I was 9! Probably the latter. Anyway I've made it up to 'competent' and thos...

Thanks for the welcome. One quick question while I remember; I never bothered with beam/military lasers in Elite as I found that, so long as you were careful placing your shots, a mining laser did the job far more effectively. Is that still the case in Oolite? Oops. Lost some more paint on that stat...

Evening all. Just started playing Oolite after a friend of mine told me about it. I had no idea the game even existed! Played Elite (to death) back when I was a kid - so many memories! Anyhow I get to do it all over again it seems. One thing, getting around seemed to take a lot longer than I remembe...
