Oolite Bulletins

flavours Galactic OXPs Hiran, I'm struggling with the idea of how best to handle our various "Galactic OXPs" such as Dwarven (G6), The Assassin's Guild (G7), and the Isis Interstellar HQ (G2). That is, OXPs which do something specific only within one of the eight galaxies, and not the oth...

If you just used hexagons you’d end up deforming

Apologies, Thy Impressiveness!

Is this available anywhere?

Here's a small OXP that aims to add the expected Adder and Cobra Mk I ships to the Lave shipyard if they aren't present for whatever reason. The should be added only at the beginning of a new game, and only if they're not already there. Link: LaveInitialShipyard.oxz . This will only work with Oolit...

Aaaah! But are they really computers? I could credit that if limited to a particular culture/planet/race or even species, but pan-galactically? - that's a real stretch. That's the great thing about fiction: it's very stretchy. Electronics leads to automation. Automation leads to AI. AI leads to stro...

Wiki page now up

The icons/quick facts section is included and seems correct to me, but is currently "blanked out".

Looking forward to sharing time & Oolite queries with you. How goes it? And have you tried Phkb's latest yet? PlanetFall2.oxz - v2.5 The guts of the mod. PlanetFall_Resources.oxz - v1.0 All the images and textures. FeudalPlanetFall.oxz - v1.1 Update for Feudal Systems (there's no change in this...

It makes good sense that the more expensive stations (subsidised b...

Some thoughts on the above. The initial quite from Disembodied is crucial to what I feel is the core of the Ooniverse. That massive gap between the planetary societies and the spacefaring community. I think most worlds are probably unaware that there is a functional space society milling about abov...

Daddyhoggy is interested in finding out more and popping back into the forum, but he registered here with an email address that lapsed a few years ago. Do we have any administrative staff that could help him change his email address to a new one? I can provide contact details if necessary. Murgh ha...

... apologies for the resurrection of an old conversation Personally speaking, many of the old conversations here are quite fascinating and could well do with a decent resurrection. The only person who seems to have cared muchly otherwise was dear old Smivs, who's sadly not been around for quite so...

The two well-developed versions of the lore - Selezen's & Cim's - both imply that the inhabitants of the Eight came from elsewhere. Neither seem to discuss the GS's - but Selezen's views would have been historically tinged by his wish to incorporate Frontier From what I recall of Selezen's acco...

I'm prepping to add this to the DM. However, I'd value some input on the best approach to take. At the moment, I've kept the identifier from the original Planetfall ("oolite.oxp.Thargoid.Planetfall"), so the new version is a straight upgrade to the old one. However, I've made some radical...

Does this count? From Sector1/Digebiti - look under "fiction" Other failed exports include the silk top hat, the tricorn and the pith helmet. Whilst hat-wearing is all the rage on Digebiti itself, and hats are worn by gentlemen of all ranks and none (not to mention the ladies), the particu...

Thank you will try that.

Just watch out for the O'Nasties when you do it...

I am wondering whether it is possible to 'replay' your situation.

What is your OS? Version of Oolite? Installed OXPs? And can you share your savegame?

Installed OXPs are given above - the lo-o-o-ong post!
