Oolite Bulletins

SW Economy Have you found Phkb's v.3.9.1 update for SW Economy? He managed to adjust the agricultural prices for the mining worlds (not for medicine, though). And you will need to tweak the settings (via Library OXP's "Config for AddOns" on the F4 docked ship-station interfaces screen). P...

I'm unable to use ... Torus drive (at all).

Synchronised Torus OXP

ooh I just figured it out and it all seems to fall into place... I put this inside a timer: this.$ctLastDist = this.$ctDist; var ps = player.ship; // present distance to station var spos = system.mainStation.position; this.$ctDist = ps.position.distanceTo(spos); // distance travelled in one second ...

Interesting! (never heard of that one)

Oolite enables the Cavezzo of La Serenissima before Napoleon laid waste to it.

I like to standardize on the Lave Metre (Lm) - I wish Oolite did!

No way! Metric degeneracy!! Fight it to the bitter end!!!

I currently have no idea what units are being used for distance

In Tibecea they use the Cavezzo. Try it out! ... The Galactic Almanac OXZ, Navigation Beacons MFD

...I've updated this to work with any OXP laser you've got, and with LMSS and Laser Arrangement. You can switch a broken laser out while in flight for the working one, and vice versa...

Thank you for this!

The “Exploration” page on our wiki has a few ideas.

Why Edzaar? Are you a dedicated devotee of the Church of Giles the Creator? And at a ceremony in the Grand Cathedral on Tibecea you enjoyed an epiphany on approaching the Blessed Barque, with St. Phibo of Nacci instructing you to leave your home, your planet, your galaxy and make your way to Edzaar ...

Why Edzaar?

Did you have a tiff with your inamorata who, in a state of pique, decamped, was captured by slavers and then ended up being sold to a visiting Edzaarian tycoon who returned home with her?

Why Edzaar? Did you buy some obscure raffle ticket from a traveling tout ... and then discover that you have won ... but need to go there in person to collect your prize? A collection of ludicrously luminous lobstoid kneecaps whose oldest originals predate the creation of GalCop and have been the su...

Someone asked about joystick configurations earlier in the thread. So here's mine. Thank you! I have a Thrustmaster TM4. Not enough buttons (as I find the keyboard anti-immersive), and it soon developed a drunken bias to steer to the right, but the feel of it! Nice and smooth and chunky (but light ...

Welcome to the boards! Why Edzaar? Is it the original dynastic home of your lineage from which you were cruelly evicted several generations ago? Do you seek to locate your lost relatives and view the ancestral manse? While G1 is the most expanded of the Octant (followed by G7 and possibly G8), the v...

I'm in the IRC room right now, and the topic line is massively out-of-date. Do we know who tends to run that? Umm... we're now on this website, but at the Whisky Bar end of it. That part of town took a nose dive (you would not believe how grotty it got!) and so Timer took the initiative and moved u...

I'm presuming that this "Griff's Krait" is different from the one listed on our Expansions Manager: if you haven't already got it grab Eric Walch's update of this oxp https://app.box.com/shared/i9aznk80x9/1/41129188/440935708 rather than my release - Eric's update has some amazing scriptin...
