Just to say, a_c, I'm utterly convinced that your incessant plugging away, improving the graphics over the past few years, is the main reason why there are now some several thousand people who have watched Phkb's new film on Reddit. It will be interesting to see how many downloads are generated! The...

Strange, I'm running 1.80 and the Prinz are a pushover. I guess it's about tactics... The duel starts at some ~5 km distance, so if you hit injectors the moment he goes hostile, the Prinz won't have time to land significant damage before you get to close range. And AI isn't smart enough to cut thro...

Thy excellency!

 Church of the Holy Witchspace Guard

Anything publishable yet?

Sometimes when I see someone get shot down by the cops in a Dictatorship system and bail out in an escape pod, after scooping the pod I jump systems before handing them over at a station. I figure that if they're a genuine criminal GalCop'll deal with them, while if they were unjustly persecuted by...

1. Yes.

Hurrah!

(Phew!!!)

There's a new Oolite video up on YouTube where the Tutorial is worked through. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEfvKmFHyM4 There seem to be one or two confusions - and it also seems to have been developed further since I did it. Might it be an idea to add in one or two of the better OXPs for beginne...

It's all black magic to me, but... 1) Are there any threads you should add to the links? 2) Should you try and explain any of the jargon (eg: which of "#!/bin/bash" is input by you and what is a computer prompt) 3) Links: single '[' and double '[[' brackets - [[Linux Joysticks and Gamepads...

Who would even bother scooping inactive Thargons if they can get 50 credits and a kill for destroying them?
...Especially if traveling with a likely-full cargo bay anyway?

Just re-reading this. Thargons? Which are robotic drones? ..."Alien Items"

So! This is really all about my incessant moaning about Ethics in Oolite . Wanting to lead Refugee Adders and Commie slave-miner-minnows to freedom and safety. DGill was incredibly decent and put together a test OXP for me to try out. A Feudal Lance who can be contacted via BCC and will then follow ...

I'll check it out. Maestro! 1) Where do all your laser names come from? Is it only the The Space Traders Flight Training Manual? Or are there other sources too? 2) Are you aware of CSOTB's Custom Lasers OXP? Was it in any way an inspiration? 3) Have you seen the Crosshairs.plist he included in it -...

Ramon's Anaconda (c.2008) Does anybody have a copy of this one? The website hosting it is up for sale and the link is accordingly broken. Take a look at Ramon's Anaconda, where there is a camera viewpoint inside the cargo bay. I've flown this ship, and deliberately encouraged pirates to blast the c...

Thanks!

I put it up a couple of hours ago - 79 views already. This compares to 73 views in 3 days (?) on YouTube.

And YouTube have yet to realise that it belongs in their Oolite film collection! Oh dearie, dearie me.
