Oolite Bulletins

...the HTV-2 glide vehicle separated successfully just outside the atmosphere and was operational for nine minutes, short of its target of 30 minutes, until its signal was lost (currently under investigation).

Errr... what?! Where the heck is it? Floating around in space somewhere?

[sarc]I think we need to take this outside. *rolls up sleeves* Ladies first! *pushes out of airlock and seals it*[/sarc] Now you make it sound like a thinly veiled compliment. Bravo! :) I see where you're coming from now. My comment still stands: Belters look crap but entirely practical in design. E...

In some small way to make this thread more useful... What are you trying to say? Hhhmmm? :cry: I don't claim to have all the answers, but coming up with questions I've never had a problem with. ;) The "Belter" ships actually look like a logical design strategy... even though aesthetically...

Curse you, you're gonna get me at it now! *shakes fist*

You really should be using LaTeX for typesetting.



Btw, I'm a slacker and only read part 1 currently, but I liked it. Interesting characters.

Back in my day analog joysticks were a luxury. LUXURY!

Can you set avoidances for Toll booths and the like?

Like in all good flight simulations, if you press the 'up' key you're actually nosediving, so you might have to try the other up ! :) Does it actually make a difference? I have to admit that I've done it without really consciously thinking about it, and I typically "climb", but I was alwa...

I dare you to ask them to make one for you, with your Oolite pin-badge and cuff-links on.

After a forced misjump there is nothing to repair.

Good point. Well presented.

Calling all fellow Ooliters near a small town in the most northerly, northern part of New York state you can get and which most New Yorkers don't even realize exists.... anyone? Damn it! This place is like Space, nobody can hear me scream! :( Still, it could be worse... I could live in Alaska. :) O...

Some non-English speaking countries I can understand since "Wally" could potentially have a completely different meaning or not really be well understood, or even pronounceable in some places (or just sound plain cr@p when combined with "where" in the native tongue). It's no big ...

If you intentionally mis-jump make sure you do it between two systems that are as close as you can get, to make sure you have enough fuel to jump after your drive is repaired. It just makes it easier that way. You don't want to get stranded after all your hard work.

Nice! I'll be sure to close the curtains next time I'm at home wandering around naked. (not that I live in London but still...) Can someone explain to me why "Wally" is "Waldo" in North America*? To avoid confusion with Where's Wall-E? :? *Excluding French Canadians, they don't c...

Best thing to do is to go to anarchic systems and fly to the main space station. Watch out on the way for distant laser fire and when you see head to it like flies to umm... well, you know. There are some OXPs that you can install too that generate more bad guys although I haven't used them myself.....
