Oolite Bulletins

One problem with multiplayer is the game time. Hyperspace jumps have to be instantaneous, ships have to be insanely fast if the game isn't to be boring because of all the waiting. One thing I would like to have in a space sim is the ability to buy multiple ships and have them automatically move good...

Insha'Allah

After checking with wikipedia I realize I have misunderstood that expression. What I meant was

Mā šāʾ Allāh (ما شاء الله), which means "God has willed it".

As far as illegal goods are concerned: contrary to public opinion it is not illegal to sell them anywhere. So there is really no need to dump anything in space. The only illegal act is to take slaves, narcotics, or firearms out of a main station (as opposed to deliver them into a main station). Is ...

The biggest issues for me, if I will the single player game or not are; A: Will it be modifiable? B: will it have Newtonian physics? C: will they "reimagine" Lave and other classic elite worlds into OUR universe as they did with FFE? If the answers are A: No B: Yes C: Yes to any of the ab...

Yes, but on which world can you buy 750 tons of computers? I know, there are transport contracts, but they are usually ten jumps or more.

The early days are lost in the mist of time, but I can tell you what happened a few days ago. I had wasted most of my witchspace fuel chasing down an eggheaded Fer de Lance pilot that kept shooting at me for no reason at all. So I made a quick refuelling pit stop at a salvage gang. I browsed through...

I hope they don't make an mmorpg of it, or keep it as an option.

You are a strange bird.

Monks aren't that hard, you just have to keep your distance and use the injectors frequently to outrun the missiles.

You can probably do it with an ordinary beam laser, but a military laser definitely helps.

Thought you had to be rich to travel on the Aurora? Then they should be able to afford insurance? Perhaps the insurance won't pay out if the ship isn't destroyed. I only damaged that Aurora and its captain panicked, sending all the passengers out in excape pods. If you want to tone it down then add...
