Oolite Bulletins

Is it THAT impossible to enter normal gameplay with an Adder? Or is it just much harder? If it isn't impossible, I don't think many changes are needed. The Adder start won't be (shouldn't be) the only start available, so commanders who choose it should be prepared for some hardship. If it really is ...

@Nicksta, very helpful reply, cheers! Ah, I had forgotten that BGS is fully configurable. This solves most of my problems! I do have the library, BGS mentioned that it was required. But I had forgotten about it. Alright, I am happy with BGS again. I called BGS a mega pack, because it makes a lot of ...

Early feedback cont'd. This one is for OXPs again. I am slowly going through the available OXPs, reading their wiki pages and picking. I strongly suggest to the OXP creators to be as newbie-friendly as possible. In particular: a) Some OXPs do not explain themselves clearly on their wiki pages. I am ...

I had my first kill! A group of three pirates piled on me. It was battlestations! I couldn't gain distance, so I had to fight like a hero... In fact, no.

On the other hand, I read that some commanders snipe with the military laser. It blows my mind that i...

OXP list: Right, I am not saying that older OXPs should be thrown out. Some of them may still be relevant, and as mentioned some people may be playing older versions of Oolite anyway. It is just an idea to create different pages so that the list gets easier to navigate for newcomers. Maybe it was a ...

Thank you for the warm welcome, Commanders! On the issue of the "unfriendly" OXP page, I was actually talking about the website's page. I have not figured out where the OXPs go if I install them from in-game (they do not go into the Add On folder, I can tell you that), so I try not to use ...

Greetings! New player here, thought I 'd give Oolite a try. I have never played Elite, but I used to play and enjoy WC Privateer. - Oolite has an excellent in-game tutorial. I think this is a big deal for a game with complex controls as Oolite, and should be better advertised on the front page. If I...
