Re: Oolite 1.91.0.7611-240524-818d771/Ubuntu 22 just crashed

Oh! And Hiran, just looking down your list of Expansions by Name , I think that most of your "No Wiki" OXPs have their own page, with most of the remainder having a dedicated section on another page ( eg Fonts has every single font listed with an example so that you can compare them). And ...

Re: [Release] Imperial Astrofactory 2.0

There are only a handful of stations which end up in obscure places in Stranger's World. Is it really worth rejigging the entire OXP suite as a scenario just for that? Remember, a scenario excludes every single jolly OXP not listed as "allowed"! Thus you can't add in Aaron Aarts' Amazing A...

Re: Navigation Beacons MFD

Relax.... P.S. I would have chimed in earlier but I'm not receiving any email notification except for private messages. Good to see you back! 1) should this OXP be classified as a "cheat" for the moment? 2) your email notifications should be "settable" on this new Bulletin Board...

ILS Instrument Landing System is not installed. I just installed Save In Flight and will see how it goes. Ok that OXP is poorly documented. No information URL, no wiki page. After all I found a readme that I just copied verbatim to the Wiki . Save In Flight OXP Wiki Page History: (cur | prev) 02:43...

Re: Can I become a licensed Arms Dealer? (nope)

If you have Smugglers OXP loaded, I think you can buy a waiver allowing you to trade just the once in firearms (or other such commodities). Firearms also become legal in a number of systems. But Smugglers does make trade rather more complex - you need to keep an eye out on your F6/F7 screens to see ...

Re: [Release] Imperial Astrofactory 2.0

The Imperial Astrofactories are happily situated on the space lanes between the witchpoint beacon and the station.

But! The Revolutionary Astrofarms are flung into the outer darknesses in the middle of nowhere (Stranger's World).

Re: [Release] Imperial Astrofactory 2.0

But <snip> Better PM me a full copy of your log file after you've applied the new AstroFactory, the new Draven, and the new DeepSpaceDredger Facelift (should be in the expansion manager now). No more error messages. But my latest.log is massive (all those oxps bunging in stuff): Your message contai...

..... Delete your post! Quick! Do you have any idea at all as to what you are letting yourself in for? the Chalice of Doom? What did he do? Confession is good for the soul - particularly as someone else quaffs from the Chalice of Doom. I have a vague memory (and no remaining copies) of "Dirk G...

Re: [Release] Imperial Astrofactory 2.0

OK, we're ready for a test release. I'll put both OXP's here, so you don't have to go too far. AstroFactory_2.5.oxz Dictators_2.7.oxz Downloaded. Since my regular Jameson is caught up in conflicts between FS v.3.7.0 and PL v.2.4 I started a brand new Jameson at Lave. But 20:46:16.478 [plist.parse.f...

Re: WOOT-Attack!

It's why submarines have giant passive sonar arrays that cost hundreds of millions, instead of pinging with active sonar every few seconds like they did on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea . It's why "5th gen" aircrafts like the F-35 leave their radars off and use passive IR to track targe...

Re: WOOT-Attack!

Just musing about this one. Would being targeted really be ascertainable by another ship? And if it were, surely somebody on Ceesxe or wherever would have come up with an equipment add-on preventing such ascertainment? WOOT-Woffler: A snip at 10,000₢, available at TL13 And then someone else on Ascen...
