Oolite Bulletins

I think, (know) I could improve on my DWCobra (and I promise I'll stick some pics up of my Anaconda soon). Buuuuut...the only trouble is computer speed, or namely what specs should we try and keep to. A lot of commercial games don't seem to care about older computers, I've got Battlefield 2142 and e...

....gloried baggage handlers

No sorry, you're right. I just think if you were to have a lot of crew seats in the cockpit view then they'd look silly empty, so you'd have to fill them, but then that wouldn't look so good either considering it just a flat 2D image, which doesn't even animate.

yes I suppose. It wasn't the direction I was planning to take, but the Frontier manual does say it has a crew of ten. However, I don't think they would all be in the cockpit. Would probably only need a maximum of two to fly it, I reckon the other eight are just glorified baggage/cargo handlers.

true, but it didn't give an example of the cockpit. Although I imagine the cockpit of a Hercules is probably similar to a big Boeing so I'm proably on the right lines. What I want to do with the cockpit is give you the idea that you're flying a huge, lumbering, slow beast of a craft, not a nimble fi...

Is this the kind of thing everyone is after, or something a little more radical like the DW Cobra?? ( Ramon, I don't suppose you would post your model to me for a look? - Thanks ) Hi Charlie, I've uploaded the original .obj files of the DWCobra and all it's subentities here - www.bluelocust.com/inh...

I do. It's great. I've had a ton of real life work to do which is why I've not been on these boards for a while, but I've got a couple of old ships I designed (which were going to be part of a bigger pack) which'll I'll upload and I've started work on re-imagining the original crafts, including diff...

I just read that page on Wiki, looks great. I especially like the section on Ramon Security Ltd

That's a great review.

I like the sound of this one. I'll look forward to my first contract, better make sure I've got a couple of hours spare though by the looks of things.

Ah. I probably don't have the latest version then. I shall download it now. Cheers!!

Changing the subject slightly, can you give me any clue as to where the Hockey Team ship is. I'm at the planet, I've even found 4 of their escort ships but I haven't a clue where the actual team bus is hiding.

I agree, leave it in.

Hi dos_box welcome to the forums, we're a friendly bunch here. I think the info you're after is here https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=2261 but the high res planets are only for PC at the moment (so good if you're a PC man or baaaaaaaaad if you're not)

I liked Tarquin too,it was fun, but the ships looked like they'd been borrowed from somewhere else. Can't think where though...

I'm pretty sure that was the point.

The police must always be scared then when I've been in scraps because I've never had them come to my aid, not even in the S zone!
