Oolite Bulletins

We lost an escort contract today, despite shooting down all the pirates who attacked us. Apparently we have some sort of semi-precognitive special sauce that makes us a bit more effective than our combat rating of "Above Average" would predict at safely completing escort contracts. Wasn't ...

2084-175:10:27 has seen us proceed to Rienla. Again, nothing particularly notable. We sold a few Computers, because wow that price, and bought some weirdly cheap Gold and Gem-Stones; and moved on. Diti by 2084-175:18:48. We purchase some Platinum, grab some always-desirable Medicine, and move on. Es...

To me, HOTAS implies a second lever, with only one movement axis, and (crucially) more buttons on it. They might be on separate-able bases.

Suggesting that either of my sticks could be counted as a HOTAS if you keep both hands on it would result in me looking at you funny

Welcome to the boards! Why Edzaar? Thank you! Meta reason (or gameplay-level reason, if you prefer): I was hoping to recreate some of the "hunting for Rexlar" experience I've read about for the original. But I know that I would not buy into it if I knew the place didn't exist -- so I aske...

So why HOSAS? I was seduced by the feel of the Thrustmaster throttle and never thought of trying out a second joystick. What does HOSAS give you that a throttle doesn't? In Oolite ? Absolutely nothing. Since they each have a throttle axis, I could play Oolite entirely on one joystick using a keyboa...

I know how to do the generic joystick calibration in Windows 10. If I were in front of a Windows computer, I could create a guide. But I don't remember the process well enough to describe it without a reference. ----------------------- Someone asked about joystick configurations earlier in the threa...

Before anything else: All I know about Edzaar is (1) that it exists, and (2) it's not in Chart 1. That's on purpose. Please don't spoil it. Our first log entry sees us docked at Laraisso main station at 2084169:18:53. Shortly before writing this entry, we signed up to transport one Esittiab Brans t...

I'm in the IRC room right now, and the topic line is massively out-of-date. Do we know who tends to run that?

Well, I got an intimidatingly comprehensive welcome message from @Cholmondely, so I guess I had better introduce myself.... Hello, I'm case, or "thelowercase" or "@iamthelowercase" if we're being formal :) I came across the name "oolite" browsing around the Ubuntu repos...
