Oolite Bulletins

I don't have a good "normal" example for the German Keyboard, but maybe Cmdr James , What do you want to know? The german keyboard has almost all letters in the "normal" place with z and y reversed. The special keys such as colon etc are almost totally different. Note however th...

Does anybody understand how this works? I'm trying to put up pages for the relevant equipment on the wiki. Hiran's latest "OutputDirectory" gives the following as equipment for Shield Cycler: Name Cost [deci-credits] Tech-Level In-flight configurator Advanced 1464000 14+ In-flight configu...

Hiran: just to say "thank you" for the latest re-jig of your ingenious index: the extra bells and whistles really help! I would never have gotten as far as this without you! Cholmondeley Nice to hear. In the beginning I was not sure whether I was pressing too much - but now I think it's g...

Would that help? Actually, if players want to install both BGS versions in the current Oolite install, to grab the components out of each one, adding a max Oolite version would make that difficult. I guess since both OXPs have the same ID that Oolite would not be able to distinguish one from the ot...

So what might help? Not a programmer - so don't know if any of this is feasible: 1) Germanic QWERTZ.oxz in Expansions Manager which maps QWERTZ keyboard for English vanilla game keys commands ( ie semicolons control MDFs) with wiki page giving keyboard layout and suggestions for further tweaking Ad...

I want to come up with something for non-English Keyboards which helps those using them. Does this work? It is not one of my many problems, so I'm guessing... [...] Does this work? Is my English too confusing? Have I made any mistakes? Etc.. etc.. From: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Keyboard_Iss...

Whenever I generate the list of artifacts (see also http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Index_of_artefacts), I can see that we have 687 OXPs registered on the expansion manager. Yet, when using the expansion manager I see the message that 690 expansions are available for download. So I tried to find th...

An experienced pilot will use his superior judgement to avoid any situation that would force him to apply his superior flying skills. (taken from aviation but I think it's applicable here as well) That said, I am trying to avoid encounters if I can. Which also means I would hardly get to see a paint...

Hi everybody, does anybody here know how much a Hawking HMX-11 Military Smart Missile (Military Missile G2) costs and at what TL it is possible to buy it? Download the latest zip file from https://app.box.com/s/e2yqje0xyj2a0brixd4t7a4ncb0zwqun In there you find one HTML page with answers to your qu...

I think that I've almost finished with the equipment redirects. 1) In some cases what I've done will not show on Hiran's Index page: eg "Vimana Beam" now has a page "Vimana Beam (Laser)", "Target Banking Module" now has "Target Banking Module (TBM)" etc. and ...

Just respond, what you think about it and if you find any errors

Hello Josef,

I tried to download that file but it seems a Microsoft Account is required to authenticate.

Time to update and indeed simplify this thing...

Nice overview!

There is however always some but...
...how would the Vimana Beam mix into that diagram?

This is visible here (and may need an update, despite the fact that the rough numbers are still correct): We have 688 expansions, 2313 equipment (way more than your guess of 500), 7255 ships. The strange thing from my POV is that if some equipment is a missile we would put it under 'offensive', but...

My understanding is that categories are just ways of chopping massive lists down into manageable chunks. We have 690 oxz's up on the Expansions Monitor, my guess is that we have 500+ pages of equipment (many OXZs have a number of equipment items)... This is visible here (and may need an update, des...

Equipment. I'd like to collate all the equipment onto a category page. But it would not be so helpful I fear ... but what about having different sub-categories for all the equipment? I came up with a 6-fold division for the Oolite Equipment page: Propulsive: eg Main Engine, Torus Drive, Hyperspace ...
