Nice to hear it's a seemingly broad mix then :) I remember when this game was first released (1980's) and was in awe of the 3D wireframe presentation. To me this was a spectacular release. So much so, I remember the Acornsoft/BBC micro advertisments on UK television that followed. A Truely great mom...

Hello, would some kind of p2p de-centralised approach work, when connecting players? I'm no expert, just thought I'd toss that one in there :) Regarding missions etc, I reckon co-operative play would be really satisfying. For instance, you could be part of a transporter escort squad fending off Thar...

Spline-curve navigation? It's in the working-on-it stage (it's kind of necessary to the growing racing code). Well good luck with that :) funnily, when I used 'autopilot' mode for docking, I had to smile. Not only did it abort it's first approach, it scraped the sides of the orbital on its way in s...

That’s what happens if you use the “normal” autopilot docking key, C. Lol, guess who hasn't red the manual ! Ok, I'm very old school (Electron) and didn't realise this extra functionality :roll: Next question then, any chance the procedure could be made to look a bit more 'showy' i.e. smooth, sweep...

Docking Procedure

Hello, just a thought here. I reckon it would be a really nice touch to be able to watch your ship dock, when the big "S" appears on screen. I don't mean externally, but from the helm as usual. What do you think? It seems a bit abrupt to hit the docking key and be straight in! I'd like to ...

Y'know I love this forum :D such abundant tips and knowledge, cool 8) Well I knew bout the rustiy's, but I've had too many crap experiences with real car MOT failures ! lmao Still, sounds a good option by the sounds of it though. As it stands, I now have a Weeveloid ship that is really feature packe...

Of course, the alternate approach is to do what many flight simmers do - a dedicated computer for each view - that way, you won't have a single computer and video card having to do all the processing for all the views. Of course, Oolite would then need the appropriate netcode (but it'd be simpler n...

Lol, I'm not the Pirk you see in the film. I'm the (a ?) real Pirk from a Parallel Ooniverse far , far away :wink:

As for English version, I like the Finnish original (plus subtitles - obviously) as it adds to the flavour of the film. :)

Cool Fleets

Gotta say I was mighty impressed when entering Zaonce, to be greated with a near formation fleet of vipers heading out into space. It was quite a spectacle. Perhaps a hot tip off about a feared pirate was being acted upon :) Also, I've noticed that it is possible to jump drive all the way to a space...

Multi-View Cockpit

So, we have foward,port,starboard and aft views.
Has anyone got all four working simultaneously yet, across multiple monitors?
I wonder who has the best Oolite setup, enclosed multi-screen cabinet ??

'made for Oolite' Internet Radio Station

Hi.
Thought this might be of some interest...

http://www.bluemars.org/bluemars.php

This is a VERY "space the final frontier" orientated station.
Very lush, atmospheric and non-intrusive ambience. Nice complement to 'jump space' planetary travel. Go check :D

Sh*tman! Cutlist you deserve a knighthood :lol:
That worked FIRST TIME lmao!
Okay, I will rescind my profile change and remove the docking hardware.
I really think that suggestion should be 'sticky'd up'.
Well done mate. Have a beer, I'm gonna :wink:

Lol

Thx guys, Well, first I will try cutlist's tip on station line-up and see how I get on. Second, I will downgrade and deckout (if neccessary) and revert commander profile. I didn't realise that I could immediately sell my ship! Laters :) Btw, I have only 'proof of concept' the docking hack locally at...
