Oolite Bulletins

By your responses, I'm start to think I wasn't clear enough... :oops: I think it should be more interesting if the ships should need to depart from the same place where they arrive in a system. I know that most of the sci-fi works out there permits you go to through <your-ftl-travel-method-here> alm...

Hello folks! One thing that bother me for quite a time and I have to ask for your opinion. As far as know, witchspace travel is a nasty thing. Poke a hole in the very space-time, go through witchspace to another star without those pesky relativistic time problems, and return to normal space. I can't...

Well, but what about changing the e-bomb the way I suggested? Then it would de facto act like a weakened q-bomb - and not just "game over" for the player if used in his/her direction! That would be OK, as long as there was some sort of warning. You can see a q-bomb being launched, and get...

@ Micaelis: putting extended text into the game would be nice but it would mean writing up entries for 2048 planets... . Heh, I completely forgot how many planets exists in [E|Oo]lite... :oops: Would be really nice, but that's a lot of work. A bit too much even when is voluntary... :shock: :roll: A...

@Disembodied: Your writing skills are amazing! Well done! :D IMO, This kind of information ( if possible, of course ) should be available in-game, when you press F7 ( I don't play Oolite for a long time, sorry If I mistake the correct key). I think this will add a considerable depth in the "rol...

The second one is quite interesting, Desembodied!

I think resembles a little the Republic / Empire symbol in Star Wars.

But certainly represents the union of multiple worlds, as I see it.

Congrats, Disembodied! Very enjoyable to read!

Very helpful ( at least for me ) to the newcommers, full of fictional fun!

Hey LittleBear, please don't forget the MSX, in the old computer list.

I think MSX had one of the best ports of Elite IMHO!

Cheers!

This is a nice idea, but I think will need some modifications in the Oolite's code... I don't know if you know what I'm talking about, but are you trying to make something like "Last Exile" ? :wink: If it's what are you planning to do, I wish you very luck! Should be amazing to see a "...

This is a good idea, Drew. When I read your post, I recall an old MSX game called "Payload". In that game, you're a truck driver, delivering cargo. If you put too much damage in your truck, don't deliver the cargo in the contracted time ( Even if you deliver the cargo, you must pay the fin...

I'm "Listening" to the Oolite BB for sometime, but I think I need to represent my coutry here too! :lol: I'm Brazilian and my first contact to the Elite world was with MSX ( Firebird port ). Elite is an amazing game. Today it still supreme in the genre. My thanks to Gilles to recreate the ...
