Re: Cargo Conditions

The goal (again) is to stop the player just trading until they can fill their hold a few times and then they go from having almost no equipment to almost all of it very quickly. First, it is not so simple. One has to run the gauntlet of the pirates to make the better profits. And it takes time. Als...

Re: Cargo Conditions

I've yet to peruse your most recent, but regarding Disembodied's point above about scooping the "wrong" cargo, there seem to be a number of possibilities. Stuff like food might deteriorate over time if in the wrong hold, thus loosing value. Or the pod might get stuck in the scoop/sorting m...

Re: [Release] HUD Selector v1.17

Hi, I think the automatic switch is the best option. How about just including the HUD with your ship? In the old days, many ships were published with custom HUDs. Revive the tradition! https://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/c/c9/Simon_B%27s_Wolf_HUD_template.png SimonB's Wolf HUD https://wiki.alioth....

Re: Save file is 216KB!

The uncompressed save-file is vaguely comprehensible by dumb pilots, such as yours truly. Reducing the size might not be the best idea!

Re: Re-scaling experiment

...I have no intention of forcing it down anyone's throat either... Redspear, what is the state of play with this one? If someone has a Windows computer, what do they need to do to play your re-scaled Oolite? •Do they need to download a special version of Oolite? If so, where do they find it? •Do t...

Re: So I got thinking about Freelancer, Freespace 2 etc...

..and I got to thinking how Oolite could be adapted to include a singleplayer 'adventure' much the same as these.. Now this has probably been thought of before, would entail a whole shed load of work (possible understatement there), that I personally have no clue how to go about, and definitely fli...

Re: Limit equipment for a vessel

What else would you really like to do to your OXP? As the Sidewinder NG is very small (21 x 4 x 15 m) for 11,500 kg, this means very little free space inside (especially since Spalder and Starblaze had to add a Witchdrive inside). My idea was therefore to prohibit the installation of big standard e...

Re: Backstory-Consolidation Research

Thanks, Cholmondely, for the reply, nonetheless. I appreciate your interest. Full disclosure, I share your stated state of existence; hence my request for the information from other commanders, in the hopes of statistically deriving an applicable average. Red Herring! I'd be more interested in the ...

Re: The Jetsons landed in Saudi Arabia, apparently

A little more ratiocination: 1) The fine . The average asteroid might yield up to 6 boulders, and each boulder up to 5 splinters (is this correct?). The highest vanilla game value (Rich Industrial orbital station) for a splinter seems to be 14₢ - so a fine of 30x14 doubled (840₢)? Or more? (This ign...
