Oolite Bulletins

... 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!

changing your save file's <key>ship_trade_in_factor</key> following value to <integer>100</integer> really does not fix it?

Surely participating in such a party would be an unparalleled experience (for me). But it takes me near three months (ideal) only to get a visa... But I don’t give up on this idea - besides, one pilot invited me to visit for tea ;) How about organising a "Roolite" do somewhere closer to y...

One presumes that there is only so much space for stuff at web.archive.org

The archived sites which I've accessed tend to have too little information to be worthwhile - Oosat 2 (only the one page) & Dizzy's backup site.

Point of interest: G1 Aona According to the Dark Wheel, Aona is underwater with only the tips of volcanoes poking out above the waves. But the three textures (Vanilla game, Povray & Stranger's FPO) show none of this. (It is missing from BPlanets) Reference: Suggestion: Aquaspace aka H2Oolite (20...

I note that this forum was established on May 20th 2004 - pretty good going, eh?

Another approaching anniversary!

The Assassins Guild OXP – Version 1.3 Littlebear! Now that we have the ability to exclude oxp's via the manifest.plist, are there any oxp's which wreck your missions? Telescope? (Note: Stuff is hide-able from Telescope) Navigation Beacons MFD? Target Tracker/SniperLock? Various player uber-ships? (...

Still I had to point the whole ship where I wanted to shoot, making the lasers almost obsolete.

How about adding in CSOTB's Military Targeting System OXP?

Hiran - I'm not sure I quite understand your point. But if I do, have you tried turrets on any of your ships?

Yasen-N Turret

You will need a ship that is big enough.



By the way, that Jeff McAfee autopilot is an inspired discovery. Well done!
