Re: RELEASE: Nuit MkII

The station looks truly magnificent, great work.

I particularly like the biodome on top; it's an interesting detail. The dome strongly reminds me of the giant space gardens from the 1972 science fiction movie "Silent Running." Pure coincidence or homage?

Re: [RELEASE] Coluber CPV-9333 Pitviper (V.1.0.0)

Yes, I am even absolutely sure the Queen Snake is a true member of the coluber family of snakes. Look here: Queen Snake And yes, i´m also absolutely sure the hull of the Queen Snake - other than the hull of the Pitviper - for the main part is not a typical insectoid design and also not influenced by...

Re: Yet another contribution to the collection of HUD´s

A while ago, I read on the CombatMFD wiki page that currently (July 2023) only Vimana HUD uses the additional displays and values ​​that CombatMFD provides for custom dials in HUDs. I thought that's a real shame, because with the help of CombatMFD and the new keys for custom dials in the hud.plist, ...

Re: TCAT 2.0 progress

3 looks the best so far imho.

BUT: just how big is this ship? Or better yet: how tall does the pilot have to be to be seen in the cockpit of a ship of this size? ;-)

Re: Removing Station Dock Control and GalCop's Most Wanted

While I like both of these mods (SDC and Most Wanted), I'm almost 100% confident they are behind some of the stuttering that players experience when there are lots of mods all trying to get their stuff done when a new system is populated. And rather than keep these mods in the general mix, I've mov...

Re: Xeerian wolf meat

In my little story, xeerian wolf meat is mentioned. Have you ever visited Planet Xeer or at least a Xeerian restaurant? Xeer is very well known in the whole galaxy for Xeerian wolf meat and its fabulous cuisine. Well, I recently had the opportunity to try the famous cuisine. A trader colleague of mi...

Re: Nothing but trouble, annoyance and losses

Impressive story. But so far this and other such stories are all short episodes, not too much connected and without user interaction. ... Back to Oolite: We can do this already. We have lots of mission screens that show one passage at a time. And then we have mission variables which store the state...
