Oolite Bulletins

Current working notes (in case I get marmalized by an omnibus!) This is the first half of G1 Named sites based on FP, Rough Guide & wiki Sector1 pages. PlanetLand 2 landing sites Eventual need for some geographic placements - Zaonce’s Hurricane Kev in North Hemisphere, etc. 0,4 Xequerin Goobix (...

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...

Update to Version 0.93: Full Version 0.93 - 04.05.24. New Features: Further improves the naming pools for HoOpy Casinos, Penal Colonies, Pirate Coves, Extra Stations for Extra Planets, Stranger’s World Orbitals and the automatic naming pool. Adds a naming pool for the Isis Interstellar Station. If ...

Wondering if (if it's not too complex) there might be point in having two sets of Flavours: Flavours (for different games) Issue-solvers (for nobbling specific problems) - for dumb pilots like myself who need aid in combat, for Redspear's mass-lock sufferers, for crash-dockers and lastly for those w...

Greetings of hale be unto thee, Commander Cholmondely! Thy eschatological excellence! With Phkb's new version of PlanetFall, would you be interested in helping out with naming planetary sites (for a new version of Famous Planets)? This is not really my field of study at the moment, but I'll give it...

Thank you phkb for describing the issue. Looking at an older post I'd say Oolite behaves as expected yet the in game manager does not. ... Apparently it is not sufficient to keep the manifest as is. The problem may only show up when upgrading OXPs via in game after they were installed by OoliteStar...

Is something similar "doable" for the Astrofactories?

And how did you do it, anyways?

there are a whole group of you on that side of our planet.

The last time I drove from Sydney to Brisbane the road sign said 999 km.

(And that would be the easy bit. )

I thought you were pretty much all in Sydney, with just one or two outliers.

I had recently captured a petty crook, Es Lodiri from Reorte, and was very surprised to see his state of agitation when he was being escorted away by Galcop troopers. He was fair hopping about and seemed very frantic. I knew myself He was only a small time bandit, having totalled his Krait I got th...

Phenomenal!
