Note to self: Must rewrite SDC.

As I've said before, SDC is one of my favourites. Reminds me of those wonderful scenes in  Alliance Rising where ships' crews are sitting in bars looking at screens showing which ships are arriving at the space station, with speculation running rampant!

Krager - how many MFDs do you tend to use?

I'm using the 12-MFD version of Phkb's Vimana-X. I'd like one or two more (can't say that I really need them - it's just that they look nice!) - but really, I'm using a laptop with a 13 inch screen, and would rather have a second screen where I could dump most of them! (But, in that utopian case, mi...

The next version [of Oolite] will have more flexibility in this area, allowing docking bays to be designated for particular forms of traffic and optionally take offence at unauthorised docking. Did this actually happen? "allowing Docking bays to be designated for particular forms of traffic&qu...

I don't play with these missions, but the only relevant error message I got on loading (AppleMac, v.1.90a2) was this: 10:35:33.054 [StationDockControl] GlobalLog (OOJSGlobal.m:266): !!NOTE: Escorts required for 'oohauler1' (Escorts: 2) but no 'dock' version of the shipdata exists I'm unsure if it is...

I have to say that the optionality to me is key. But then it is necessary too (too many OXPs won't get one unless somebody unleashes an AI on all our 1,100 OXPs).

And I'm sure that there will be some for which the adage of a picture being worth 1,000 words will be true.

We'll see!

And which planet is this, noble Admiral? I "dig the grooves"!

So this thread never made it to 2000 posts. Well it did have a good run. This post is just once and for all to make it clear, that you're all welcome to take my ideas and run with them - not only for OXPs but also for any new expansion format - I just received a request regarding this. Please updat...

Indeed. Not only am I still alive, but I still remembered my password.

Welcome back!

Your threatened pm awaits your perusal.

... But I would also say that they are a bit wimpy, and ought to be a lot stronger in defence of their "mother", you would think that a suspicious craft approaching would be buzzed by one of the wingmen. You can fly right into the formation and fly with them, and they don't bat an eyelid,...

... recall that Witch Bank doesn't actually work, so that definitely shouldn't be included. But your OXP is a super idea! Why not just fix it? My problem (I thought that it was AppleMacs only) is this: sometimes the dosh reverts to the start-up dosh (100₢), wiping out all the credit in the bank acc...

Noble Sir!

Might the time be ripe to add this to the in-game Expansions Manager?

I've just updated my "Welcome Back" pm (for returning community members) with some screenshots The hope is to give an idea as to how the OXPs have progressed. Appendix: Some Pretty Pictures Phkb's PlanetFall2 (landing on a moon, using the planetary transit system between Spaceports) https:...

Снова всё упирается в `Docked_HUDs`. Буду терпеть, ругаться, но `Docked_HUDs` не брошу, потому что он хороший! :) Again, it all comes down to `Docked_HUDs'. I'll put up with it, swear, but I won't give up `Docked_HUDs` because it's good! :) Krager: what is it that you like so much about "Docke...
