Oolite Bulletins

So try this... After you change to full screen (and get the "blocks"), hit F2 and scroll down to the third to last choice in the menu. Selecting this enables "strict" Oolite, but also resets the graphics. You can then select the same option again to return to normal play (loading...

If you are using Windows. I don't think the Target Memory was working properly. Dajt released a new build today which is supposed to fix it (off to try it now).

I finally scraped up the cash to buy a SuperCobra last night...WOW. I was upgrading from a Python, so the difference in speed is unbelievable. I am still oversteering a bit, but this thing is just a joy to fly. And I'm sure this is just my imagination, but it seems to kill things faster, too. :) I ...

I brought this up just a short time ago. I decided to try doing the contracts, just for kicks. I found that they really add a lot to the game. And like Giles says, eventually you get much better offers. I haven't reached the 60000cr level yet, but I did make a 17000cr profit delivering some gold rec...

I've tried using this upgrade quite a few times since purchasing it, but the + and - keys seem to do nothing. Can anyone verify that this is working in the Windows version?

I've seen normal system prices for Alien Items as high as 65.x credits. I believe the higher tech systems tend to pay more for them, though I can't prove it. I tend to scoop those items (not quite proficient enough to go Thargoid hunting yet) and save them up until I run into a Behemoth. Of course, ...

Is it my imagination, or are trumble-canisters much more common these days than they used to be? I don't remember ever noticing one until the 1.63 windows version was released. Of course, my play style has changed recently as well (in that I'm now scooping MANY more canisters than before :twisted: )...

I could skim pretty well in my Python before the heat shields were "invented". I think it mostly depended on the type of sun (and having a little remaining fuel for injectors helps A LOT). Now I haven't had a bit of trouble. However, I don't really think this is really unbalancing. It's ce...

I don't have any particular suggestions, except to try the latest build, available at http://nic.dnsalias.com/oolite-1.63gust ... -win32.exe .

Hope this helps.

I thought that one was 256. (I'm almost halfway there!)

Yes, worked just fine. Turned out some guy just wanted to sell me a Trumble (the dialog WITH PICTURE (YAY!) popped up almost as soon as I loaded my saved game). Apparently if you don't forcefully tell him no, he keeps asking and asking and asking, even following you from port to port to do so. :) St...

@rbird: If you could do more testing that would be great. After loading the OXP check in the the stderr.txt (Created in c:\program files\oolite) that there are no errors. There were no errors in the stderr.txt after loading the oxps I mentioned above. Although looking back at it now, it appears I d...

Funny emu story... A few years back, while driving near my hometown in Tennessee, my girlfriend (now wife) and I saw a billboard along the highway which read "Emus - Alternative to Tobacco". Now obviously, this sign was aimed at the local farmers in an attempt to lure them away from growin...

Wow, it's wonderful! I can see the compass!!! I installed this build today and everything seems to work just fine. All the new features seem to be present as well (the slurping of cargo is...interesting). I did notice the problem with the title screen/shipyards where the ships aren't lit properly. B...
