Oolite Bulletins

Heh, I'm not exactly flush with free time ATM as I'm working, so I'll have to think about that one. Not even sure how to save a convincing replica of a rumble in progress . . . prolly lots of variables ;) When I took on Furball I was really more excited about an interesting obstable to docking, so I...

Er, thanks guys, not quite a furball but yes there is a new version, I usually put new stuff in the top message, should have linked it really, https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10023 or go to the Wiki page in my sig. And I think we all know that new releases are BAD for download stats ;)

Bump for maketing purposes. Have Fun!

Oh, and Eric Walch, too.

D'oh!, pretty sure I've seen at least one of those before, anyway, no more excuses

Ah... I certainly don't recall seeing it in BBC Elite.

Easily done with an OXP I would think! Might look into it after I've refreshed my other stuff for 1.77 . . .

Remind me... which version of Elite is that from?

I remember it from the Speccy days, not sure if I ever saw it on the ST version though.

My thoughts, FWIW; keep the Anaconda as is, restore the energy bomb (with reduced effect), reduce speed of Cobra, and reintroduce "you have been boarded by pirates"

The only brawler I don't like to see is the Imperial Courier which I gave three forward military lasers. What's more, they are not breakable.

Chances are he'll get distracted if you stay out of his way for long enough . . .

Try deleting or moving the file You will need to set the game config up again from scratch, but that file is capable of storing bad settings or combinations of settings between installs.

Just to be absolutely clear, the gnustep bug was never about crashes or instability, it merely prevented the packaged version of the game from working
All my recent comments regarding this have been about the Debian/Ubuntu packages, sorry if I gave the wrong impression!

Yeah, I think it's mainly a due to Debian finally fixing the broken GnuStep libraries that they used to ship, and these filtering in to Ubuntu et al. Good news all round!

In comparison with Ubuntu it's fast and furious. It most certainly is. I used the LXDE+XFCE ISO and found that XFCE is actually faster than LXDE on my Aspire One netbook. http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/wheezy_di_beta1/i386/iso-cd/debian-wheezy-DI-b1-...
