Oolite Bulletins

That website is under version control. Do we have events in the range of last good scan and first partly scan? Hiran, if you're question is addressed to me... I'm sorry, but I don't even know what it means that a "website is under version control". Sorry, don't ask me, I don't know, I jus...

Greetings, commanders! <o I have just discovered that oolite.space apparently does not save completely on web.archive.org anymore. https://web.archive.org/web/20230722190330/https://oolite.space/ was apparently the last good save. Since then, from a quick count, there have been approximately 20 part...

Wow! What a lovely rabbit hole this has turned out to be... Who'd've thunk it?

Thank you, everyone. Please free feel to add any and all other information which you deem to be even only tangentially related. A good hyperlink is always appreciated.

BBC manual 210mm x 149mm (likely 150 if curvature is accounted for).

No, more likely 148mm than 150mm. Specifically, A5 size.

Aahhh... a worthy consideration indeed.

Thank you, Wildeblood.

BBC manual 210mm x 149mm (likely 150 if curvature is accounted for). Spectrum 205mm x 144mm (likely 145 if flattened out). C64 206mm x 145mm (poss. 146 flattened). So the BBC version is slightly larger and sursprisingly the C64 version is a tiny bit bigger than the Spectrum version despite both bei...

Never had the Elite manual, but the Elite Plus manual (which includes Imprint) is 215x190

Mucho gracias, amigo!

Best old Chum :) I'm just trying to come up with names for landing sites. Names rooted in the Lore where there is any ! As mentioned, the Lore I'm checking is purely on the wiki (Rough Guide pages & Galaxy Guide pages) and in the Famous Planets OXP's planetinfo.plist. Landing sites... planetinfo...

Dear Commander Cholmondely The Dark Wheel , p. 17, par. 13, CHAPTER TWO: Rafe nodded. 'That's right, Alex,' he said softly. 'You can be deadly, you can be dangerous, and you can end up as pet food in orbit around a dog's ass-of-a-world like lsveve . But if you're elite, and you die, then there's a r...

Dear Commander Redspear

Thank you ever so kindly. I would appreciate any and all measurements that you might be able to spare. No rush.

Thanks again.

Kind regards

Greetings, commanders Would someone please be so kind as to measure for me (to 0.5mm or 0.3mm precision, if possible) the length and width of the front cover of a physical copy of the original 1984 Elite SBG38/B1 Space Trader's Flight Training Manual ? Measurements of any other versions/editions (cl...

Greetings of hale be unto thee, Commander Cholmondely! Thy eschatological excellence! With Phkb's new version of PlanetFall, would you be interested in helping out with naming planetary sites (for a new version of Famous Planets)? This is not really my field of study at the moment, but I'll give it ...

Thanks, Redspear. I appreciate your confirming reply regarding the first released, non-commerical, fan remake of Elite. "Elite II"... If you go to http://knackered.org/angus/beeb/elite.html , and click the "Elite-A.zip" link before the table of contents, to download the zip file,...

Greetings, Commanders Which was the first non-commercial Elite ? When was it developed? When was it released? Can anyone beat Angus Duggan's Elite-A ? Developed late 80s; development complete May 25, 1993; release permitted on or before February 11, 1997. Please confirm. Thanks for playing along. Ki...

Someone give me a tough one this time

Where is Cirag?

Please pardon my extreme noobish noobiness, but, in more than a decade of rather studying about than actually playing any kind of Elite, I have never yet found the answer to this question, and, therefore, I appeal to the superior practical experience of any commander(s) out there who would kindly pl...
