Oolite Bulletins

Hi all, This is my Warthog HOTAS config for Oolite all configured through the game itself, you can read about it here: https://www.tales-from-darkenedroom.com/post/oolite-meet-warthog As an "X-Axis is roll" user, I am fascinated by your assertion that "X-Axis is yaw" is "pr...

There's a typo, sir. ... Bottom of the 'logue, sir. ... In the Edsodi entry, sir. ... '2084-193:18:37 docked.' ... Should be '2084-19 4 ', sir. Thank you, sir. <o So there is. Well caught. Going to have to correct that. If you want to optimise your travelogue a bit, I hope the following format with...

So, for example, Wildeblood's new Dynooverse oxp , once it detects that that has happened, will randomly select a solar system and proceed to mangle it beyond all recognition. The next time a new day dawns, it will do the same thing again! Until you end up travelling through a Galaxy with every pla...

[[ game session start time 2084-191:23:53 | session RW time 2:34:07 | game session end time 2084-194:18:53 ]] 2084-192:02:38 Legeara. Quite a lot of overconfidence scares here. 2084-192:02:45:00 docked. Spent some time going over which of our next couple of stops to actually dock at, and left by 208...

2084-189:03:29:10 docked at Anenat Ran into some assassins at the witchpoint. Luckily, when we ran our engines for every fraction of thrust they could give us, the assassins were not able to keep us in range without their fuel injectors. Unfortunately, none of us realized that until they had run us ...

We escorted one Seoualxea' to Errara, fighting off a handful of pirates along the way. We are safely docked by 2084-186:03:20. Apparently we got better at combat, because despite being jumped by assassins at the witchpoint and encountering a band of pirates besides, we successfully escorted Beinno t...

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...
