Oolite Bulletins

I hope you don't confuse autodocking with instant docking. Nothing against autodocking, the latter is cheesy and stinks. Don't quite agree. When you play for a long time (let's say after around 3000 kills) the instant docking feature can save you a lot of boredom. I docked under lots of circumstanc...

Just last week I received a PM from someone else about this. The pirates really are there. You have to poke around. And they are hard to see at a distance (but do show up on the scanner). :D Have to admit that was me getting stuck at the same point; did solve it after a hint from Cmdr. Wombat (than...

I have also noticed that if an enemy ejects in his escape pod then I don't get the kill, so surely I should be allowed to shoot the pod? I rate the extra kill over any price I can get for slaves. I agree with that! Seems unfair to put all the effort into busting some difficult pirate's ass only to ...

You need to practise then - I routinely kill 'em with military lasers. They do take a bit of pounding, but if you make every shot count and get a good burst in, they will die.

ah, thanks for the infos, feel a bit stupid now not to have realized that it's the number of postings that count, thought from the bulletins that there are quite a few elite commanders around. I started playing in summer 2004 (had some previous experience with the old elite game though from years ba...

just saw my first message showed the label 'harmless' (which is fine with me...), but since it seems strange to get to galaxy 5 so peacefully as that, I like to correct that impression. Actually I'm about 900 kills short of Elite status. So how does this status gets attached to the username in messa...

Hi, am new to the forum, so hello to everyone. Am enjoying Oolite for a while now, thanks a lot to the makers and contributers!! I have a question to which I couldn't find anything in the bulletins, so maybe someone can help me with it: Just jumped into galaxy 5 (top right corner), and came across t...
