Oolite Bulletins

Hi all, I am up to dangerous and have around a mill to my name. looking to buy a really good ship. Problem is, I have seen the wolf mkII and whenever I come up against it it seems to have two lasers, yet when I buy it, I only get the one, despite those two interesting looking spikes on the front. I ...

v it is then, cheers

I finally got round to installing 1.65 last night. Some good extras in there, there is now a very good reason for not wasting any escape pods; the annoying popping up texts are much less frequent as well. I have a couple of questions though. Firstly how do we access the external views? Also I was lo...

Thanks for the info fellers. I will try it out tonight.

How do you rotate your cargo? I try to take around 50% of cargo to most systems with the hope that I may score some high value cargo from various other space goers, but I get frustrated when I scoop a ton of food, thus filling my cargo bay and there are other cannisters floating about.

When you are in th...

I didnt realise there was a system for the icons. Nice one. I will look properly tonight. As for the captions, it will have to be lived with.

Cheers all

Hello all, Still playing (Competent, 187 kills), much to the consternation of 'er indoors. This, combined with the world cup has meant we have almost been passing like ships in the night. I have encountered a couple of things, one really annoying and one merely quirky. First of all I keep getting ca...

Well, I have had many a heated discussion with spectrum owners over the years and I have not yet heard of the price argument, which of course is quite right, the speccy was a lot cheaper than the C64. My first experience of elite was on my mate's speccy and I can remember him coming to grief on the ...

Afternoon all, A couple of us were talking idly in the lab the other day and we got to the subject of old computers and how the C64 WAS better than the spectrum when one wag said elite was better on the speccy, citing the C64's achilles heel, its inabilty to handle the wireframe graphics. He was wro...
