Oolite Bulletins

Any one else catch this last night? I got some ok pictures but my friend that lives a little farther north sent me this picture. https://i.postimg.cc/Bnf08jpF/9-AF2-B942.jpg Alas, our local light pollution clobbered it for me. But I did see it some years ago in Durham, and it was truly magnificent....

Dear Commander Cholmondely The Dark Wheel , p. 17, par. 13, CHAPTER TWO: Rafe nodded. 'That's right, Alex,' he said softly. 'You can be deadly, you can be dangerous, and you can end up as pet food in orbit around a dog's ass-of-a-world like lsveve . But if you're elite, and you die, then there's a ...

Maintenance tune up for 1000 is now available. the other are still missing. repair by changing save did work. The 1,000₢ Maintenance tune-up is the standard (until you start kitting out your ship, and then the price starts going up). You might have bought the Emergency Hull repairs when you docked ...

... and even more peculiar two-dimensional phantoms which look like distorted space.

Aren't Oolite suns two-dimensional?

But when I fly around the sun it does not turn into a 2D disk!

phantom It might well be nothing to do with it, but just to mention that I've also had phantoms in Strangers World - I understand that they were probably phantom suns, with the sun being moved twice by different SW oxp's - the first time to a more reasonable distance, and the second to place the ma...

I got hit by Lasers. My hull bar in the HUD shows 50% left. AS far as i understand it my ship will exploded if this reaches 0%. So I want to repair it. The only way I found up to now was selling my Cobra Mk III and buying a smaller ship. You have Smivs' Battle Damage OXP loaded, and so should be be...

I have taken a lot of hull damage, but I am unable to find any way to repair it. Can anyone give me hint what I am missing? "Hull damage" can refer to several different things. If you are referring to damage to your hull due to witchspace jumping and planetary landings then Mr Flibble's &...

Just to think through the above. Hiran's comparison ( very helpful - a useful starting point) 1) The aircraft carrier is much smaller than a Coriolis. (The greatest dimension, length is 1/3 that of the diameter of a Coriolis). 2) The aircraft carrier does not carry the families of the servicemen (I ...

Does anybody have any idea as to how many people one would expect to find on a Coriolis station? 1km x 1km x 1km...

I was thinking more in terms of what one is actually flying through on the way down to the beacon. Would it be that difficult to create clouds/sandstorms/rainstorms/lightening storms to fly one's ship through? I'd would need to create a visual effect (which is the easy bit) that is then thrown up i...

Can one increase the turbulence on Zaatxe below (say) 5km - and possibly even add "sand" to the effects? As for the sand effects - yeah, not as sure. Not sure I could come up with something that wouldn't be immersion breaking. Signs are definitely pointing to "maybe", with regul...

Can one increase the turbulence on Zaatxe below (say) 4km - and possibly even add "sand" to the effects? I know you meant to write 4km, because that's where the red zone on the altimeter starts. And, my guess is the substantive answer is: yes, but it would be javascripted, not just tweaki...

From Famous Planets: "0 8" ={description = "Zaatxe is a rich corporate state in the Pulsar Worlds with an abundance of red sand. Zaatxerian sand is a so-called ultraconductor and is used in computers. There are countless plants that convert the Zaatxerian sand into computer related pr...
