Oolite Bulletins

Just had a first glimpse at it this morning, your German version would be in need of some polishing. :wink: All versions will need polishing. Goodness Grief! They were done by a blasted computer! That's not my point. Cim Disembodied has a very good style - the rough-speaking stationmaster with his ...

I assume that the amount of effort involved in successfully transmogrifying Disembodied's Cim's masterful English original into the various languages below is too great to be worth the effort. Am I correct? Please advise! Cholmondeley PS The languages below were chosen by my butler, Benedict. Their ...

There is now a Language page on our wikipedia: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Language Oolite en Français Oolite auf Deutsch Oolite Italiano Оолит по-русски Oolite en español I'm lucky enough to be English. And therefore I'm pretty much monoglot. __________________________________________________...

Beautiful! Really.

So, with my preference for yaw, I probably am a rather large yellow slimy lizard! I just haven't looked properly in the mirror yet. I'll have to ask Araminta. Benedict is far too demure to ever tell me the unvarnished truth.

Thank you! Very interesting idea: putting all the navigation keys together like that. I too have found that yaw works better for me than roll - much more instinctive. If I'd had Cody's years of battling across the galaxies in Elite I might well share his predilictions in this matter: but I haven't, ...

No, no, no .... My dear chap, the assault on one's aesthetic sensibilities would be too extreme if we actually held our banquets in those bolshevist behemoths. As you doubtless have overlooked, the appropriate environment requires not just the cuisine and the appropriate beverages, but also consider...

Thank you, Sir Milo! Right, I’ve started mucking about with the Wiki: (so far just the List of Oolite stories ) to see if I could do it without causing everything to go belly up! I’d rather appreciate some feedback before I start committing mayhem with the Wikipedia Page Titles , so I’m consulting h...

Were there any other equipment items you bought and are missing? Benedict reminds me that there was the matter of a Military Upgrade to something called Rhinoceros Hide.... What was that, Benedict? Iron? What does Iron have to do with Rhinoceros Hide? I'm not sure that I understand! Is it one of th...

Found the Blighter! And on the dreaded Windows jobbo too. Follow this recipe - it may even work for your Linux Machine! Remember: exactly 71,896 Cavezzi, one bracchio, 7 once and 3 decimi from the planet surface of Tionisla Prime. You jump into your ship and tell James to head out in the direction o...

Rekrul,

you joined in March. It is now July.

How has your gaming changed? And how have your feelings changed about this piracy lark?

Cholmondeley

Thank you for the combat tip!

I will confess to being somewhat desperate.

On my trusty Apple Macintosh: just over 90 miles from Tionisla Prime (that is 71,893 Old Venetian Cavezzi or 4765 Byzantine Plethrons : maybe 150 of those foreign French kilometres ) and 500 miles (that is 383,433 Old Venetian Cavezzi or 25,412 Byzantine Plethrons ,: around 800 of those French thing...

I find fighting pirates very easy. After an initial difficulty, I soon learned the basic principles of combat. I have 1100 kills. Thank you! Important to know. I hope you are enjoying the Oolite experience. I certainly am. Do have lots of experience on other such games - or have you only ever reall...
