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,

Re: Oolite Manual

Sample Text - this is the sort of thing that I'm thinking of. Launching and Landing These can be fatal – collision with a large object at velocity is a non-trivial matter. If one lacks experience in these activities then it will be necessary to either practice – or to purchase a Docking Computer 1 ....

Re: Looking for Far Sun OXP

I'm just going to have to get used to the stupidly large and indeed bright Suns. Don't Knotty’s Realistic Stars, Wildeblood’s Distant Suns, Rustem’s Distant Stars & Stranger’s Habitable Planets all sort this out as well? And add in other goodies like corona flares, solar winds, more realistic d...

Re: BGS - The BackgroundSet

I'm a tad unsure if this is the correct thread for this, sorry! When I first commenced my oolitic explorations back in early May (Happy Day!), I soon added on an .oxp which gave an enchanting spider-web effect to my witchspace tunnel which I greatly relished (seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Re: [WIP] New Deal Economies (for Oolite 1.81)

Wouldn't different planets in a solar system have different economies? Say, for example, that the primary planet in the solar system was financial. It seems highly improbable that the others would be too: the other planets in the system might well be extractive, agricultural or even commercial (if s...

Re: Oolite 1.89 - Dotting some 'i's

It must be possible to add 'liners' as both a master-category and a sub-category. The Strict Game's F4 "View Ship Specifications" has just 5 master-categories. 1) Installations ( Orbital Station & Mining Installation ) 2) Miscellaneous (4 sub-categories) 3) Ships (as above) 4) Thargoid...

Oolite 1.89 - Dotting some 'i's

Just in case these slipped through the net! 1) Marooned in the F2 Options screen! The only shown exit from this screen is that of "End Game and Return to Menu" It would be very helpful to give the New Player with poor English a little reminder on that screen that one either 1) needs to un...
