Re: Recovering "Lost" OXPs

The latest update rather destroys the magic.

The image of star-wars-style Medical ships being mobbed by a heaving mass of jelly babies all busily chomping at the bit with flecks of foam suffusing their facial features is much more appealing ... no?

Re: Recovering "Lost" OXPs

All Medical Anacondas are fitted with planetary landing capability and a single forward pulse laser for asteroid protection.


The wiki entry makes these wonderful ships sound very, very saintly.

An Overview of some of the realistic ambience .oxp's

New wiki page: Guide to Ambience OXPs (partial) I'm trying to put together a wiki-page introduction for these which would give a useful summary for neophytes. Attempts to contact the various authors seem to have driven them out of this galaxy, so I would be grateful for any corrections etc . There a...

Re: Oolite on macupdate.com

I don't have an e-mail account so I cannot do this.

The current page has 1.88 as a 'beta'.

Can someone change it to 1.90 and de-beta it?

Thine in sempiternal gratification,
