Oolite Bulletins

I've been getting what I at least assume is a bug in this OXP - if I jump systems when a personality NPC is around and a different personality NPC spawns, they're now using the previous one's comms lines. E.g. I encounter Hesperus in one system, do a witchjump, and in the next system there's Aegidia...

There are some good ideas there. These ponderings are about in-system taxi. I'll probably move to my own thread, when I'll publish the first WIP version. But for now, I'll borrow Pleb's thread as this is an addon to the Taxi Galactica and these ideas might benefit us both. I noticed that this OXP o...

The WOOP WOOP and ColuberHUD switching to combat configuration is a little distracting. If you're comfortable editing a javascript, and you know which script is causing it. Presuma...

A scaling factor will be in the next version. That's good to hear! For the on-planet markets, I notice the explanation for what the various settings do appears to be missing from the wiki. It's on the table of contents, but the links lead nowhere. There are so many options, I thought it best to hid...

I've been playing with this for a while now, and I'm finding the turbulence pretty intense even with stabilisers; there's so much jitter that it's interfering too much with my enjoyment of the atmospheric view. I eventually ended up just turning turbulence off in the config, but it'd be nice if ther...
