Oolite Bulletins

Been having a think along similar lines for a while now. The varied species question comes down to just one thing - Opposable Thumbs. If you cannot grasp a tool you cannot become a technologically advanced species. An argument could be made for the use of tentacles as a grasping mechanic. The somewh...

Witchpoint Beacon My personal choice is to travel to the Witchpoint Beacon of the Current System and then initiate a Jump to the Destination System using the method described previously. Initiating a Jump from near a Station Buoy will also put you in close proximity to the Station itself causing Ju...

Being one of those rare pilots that cozies up to the Witchpoint Beacon, comes to a full stop, and then initiates a Hyperspace Jump... Whenever I tried this, the jump was borked by Oolite, and I got a message that I was too close to the beacon! Keep the Beacon off either your Port or Starboard side ...

Somewhat often my docking will be delayed by the launch of a Viper Patrol consisting of between 10 and 25 ships getting spit out from a station in rapid succession. A quick perusal of the vast number of OXZ's/OXP's in use in my Ooniverse did not revel any obvious culprits although Enhanced Vipers an...

Being one of those rare pilots that cozies up to the Witchpoint Beacon, comes to a full stop, and then initiates a Hyperspace Jump the "must be moving at a certain speed" to make a Jump is not my personal idea of immersion. My belief is that DIRECTION is the more important factor in the Ju...

Nicely Done - Much Appreciated Once Again !!

Would it be possible to get a FACELIFT version of this OXZ. None of the fuel additions and options or market changes or changes to Fuel Station's locations. It would be just an update to the look of the Fuel Stations and Fuel Satellites from what they are in Thargoid's Fuel Stations OXZ. Similar to ...

Dag nab-it - someone got there first !!

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Indiana's Fedora. Only went with this one as the rest of the Indiana Jones movies were not exactly Science Fiction in the traditional sense. Even this one pushes the Sci-Fi elements to the end of the movie. If not acceptable there is another on my ...

Looking at in a different way based on the Police Forces here in the U.S. Local Police or Sheriff - A Viper Force for a Station. County Police or Sheriff - A Viper Force for a Planet and its Moons. State Police - A Viper Force for a Star System. Federal Police (F.B.I.) - A Viper Force for a Galaxy/S...

Best guess as to how to eliminate the original 17 commodities completely. You would have to override the default trade-goods.plist found at Oolite\oolite.app\Resources\Config . This could be done by placing a new trade-goods.plist at Oolite\AddOns\Config that does NOT contain the original 17 commodi...

I am sorry but why did the giant snake not try to eat him, or at the very least bite him or constrict him, as he swam next to it in his white business shirt and street shorts. Could a scientific expedition with 15 scientists on board not have at least a single wet suit among them nor afford to buy o...

Have never done any work with A.I. scripts so it did not occur to me to look there. Very Interesting. Once Again - Live and Learn. Did do a quick flyby of a few Vipers that were in combat but failed to notice any flashing lights. Could be my ancient computer. Could be some of the OXZ's in use. Parti...

Really... Never noticed this behavior before, distance perhaps. Did a quick look at the Vipers in the default shipdata.plist and they do have the initially_on = no variable set for their Flashers. What then determines when the state of the Flashers changes as there was no condition_script attached t...
