Oolite Bulletins

That's awesome! I've always like to write, but it takes on added weight when it provides a window into a frame of mind from the past. The lifetime of note-taking inspired me to start a daily journal a couple of years ago. Nothing important to track, but I hope someday it will mean something to my so...

I'm doing good with trading, comfortable traveling, but still struggling with combat. Started playing Elite on C64, but the Amiga was where Elite lived until the early 2000s. So digging out the box, looking through the few handwritten notes for advice to myself today, the only piece of wisdom that j...

That's still 2 steps more than I'm capable of. My dancing consists of planting my feet in one spot, hugging my wife, and swaying. In a pinch, I'm pretty sure I could do that to a waltz.

Groan... missed opportunity. Wish I'd thought of that.

Thanks Hiran, I appreciate the information and the suggestions! I'll probably limit the spreadsheet to just in-game ships plus loaded expansions. It'll be a smaller job, and keep it limited just to things pertinent to my Commander. I'll keep an eye on the catalog, especially for ships I can't live w...

Hiran, that's not "a step"... it's at least an entire flight of stairs!! Thank you, this will save me a LOT of google hunting. I've already gone taken individual screenshots of each page from the ship library in-game, as well as the stats listed in the ship-to-ship comparison in-game. (Thi...

It's going rather well; or not so well, if you consider all the time spent playing Oolite now. I'm a slow and cautious type, and like to read up, plan, and think about it before actually diving in. Finally getting practical play-time now, and having a great time at it. Docking is no longer intimidat...

I'd be interested in hearing any progress you eventually make (or don't make). I noticed the difference even on the stick itself, between "buttons", versus axes. It makes a lot of sense the way you describe it. And yes, I'm glad it's starting to click. I take forever to learn new things, a...

I'm new to Oolite, just started learning the controls yesterday. But I'm a 40-year veteran of Elite, and actively played Elite Dangerous from 2014(Beta) to 2021 (when Covid wrecked my memory and cognition.) This year I'm finally seeing measurable improvement in reading and remembering, and thought i...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the support! Hiran, I read the link, it's certainly pertinent and interesting. Similar to what I was looking for, a little inertia as I release the stick. Not so much an issue with the throttle, as it stays where I leave it. Truthfully, I don't expect a solution, if there's...

Hi, I'm very new here, been setting up my Thrustmaster T.16000M all day. It's working nicely, except that if I'm rolling or yawing, when I let go of the stick the motion stops dead in its tracks. Is there a way to set something up so there would be some natural coasting along the movement vector? I ...
