Oolite Bulletins

First Supplementary to the First Amphiboly of the Architectonic of Oolite ...In the January 1985 edition of The Micro User magazine, two readers letters were published outlining their angst and frustration at playing Elite. The first letter from Paul R. Lemon, Aintree, Merseyside starts by stating,...

Salutations!


Are you, by any chance, doing academic research into Video Gaming?

If you are, I would greatly appreciate it if you could possibly drop me a line.


Yours faithfully,

Propaedeutic to the First Amphiboly of the Architectonic of Oolite Kindly ponder the following missive: hijong park: Posts: 1 Joined: Tue Jun 18, 2019 2:01 pm Re: Introduce Yourself.

by F-P » Tue Oct 29, 2019 10:05 pm Ok, I may be accused of blasphemy here, but I was thinking wouldn't it be nice to have a peace time option. Where you can fly around trading and not have to fight your way to the next system, just relax and enjoy the fantastic scenery. I know there is the Populati...

What?

You're actually a human being like the rest of us?

Just to say, I spent half an hour last night exploring your cemetery - and enjoying every minute of it. Thank you! People used to do this 200 years ago looking for romantic inspiration (back in the days when people were interested in experiencing the 'sublime'). There were concurrently issues with b...

No. your bias is good and clear - and you have clearly thought through how you want to play the game. Very informative. And a very useful analysis of the Expansions. Thank you for taking the time and effort to type it all up! Personally, I'm too new (two months) and am still trying to learn basic co...

So which of the other expansions do you tend to favour? And which varieties have been translated for Roolite? Is it mostly the different varieties of ships, or the various modifications of the 'game mechanics', or the Dockables, or the HUDs or the various different weapons or the Ambiances or the va...

You're now coming up to a month in!

Has anything changed?

I can assure you, your English is a darn sight better than my Russian! How did you stumble across Oolite? And how has your playing evolved over the past couple of years? Which aspects of the game did you enjoy then - what did you drift into - and what do you enjoy now? And what is it like flying gli...

Too many different versions of everything! Alas, I'm a Mac-man (or at least, I was 25 years ago!). I'll have to wait, methinks. Presumably it will either come out in the new version of Oolite - or else as an expansion. Or even as snippets of code (with instructions for utilisation that chaps like me...

It's a tad belated, I know,

but just to say

Thank You.

Just saying, 10 (More options for extraction and conflicts in the expansion manager), 13 (more hotkeys for fast activation) 14 (Represent station on basic compass as a square) would make a major contribution to my game. I happen to think that 14 is actually rather important. If I can help test thing...

I'd rather like to second this. The planet rings are the only unsatisfactory part of the Oolite experience which I have stumbled across in two months of exploring the Ooniverse. The combination of the way that they just 'flip into sight' with their filmy nature and utter lack of substance just fails...
