Oolite Bulletins

If you need additional hosting, I'll set up an FTP account for you at my website. PM me if you're interested. (I haven't got my Iron Ass yet, so I can't help playtest. Too bad -- it looks spectacular.)

I've wanted one for my rear mounting since I heard you can shoot hardened missiles with them. I can't seem to accomplish that even with a cold military laser.

In this case, Serendipity is a blog engine. You'd be amazed at how much support bloggers can need.

Who, me?

yeah, one project at a time

I'm updating and maintaining Serendipity. I get about 3 minutes free each day, and I use it watching this forum. :)

I was just hoping to make someone's life easier. (Hope I didn't come off snippy or anything.)

Would the rings necessarily have to be rendered? Could they instead be a model with no polygons?

Then you could build a box of them at the fuel station, and toggle a variable to determine if the player has entered or exited the box. As long as he's in, he gets fuel (and loses credits).

Can I add a system to the galaxy with an OXP?

Hmmm... in terms of my technobabble in that other thread, the drive deformation has its own elasticity. Without power to maintain the deformation, it gradually returns to its static state, where no displacement occurs.

So, which stations are GalCop controlled? Only the ones in non-anarchic systems? Everything but rock hermits and casinos?

I'm not all that far into the game, so perhaps I just haven't reached a system/galaxy where GalCop isn't the overarching political force.

There we go with the "thrusters" again. The Oolite ships don't use anything as primitive as mass-ejection or Newtonian physics to move. They use the difference in universal constants between ordinary space and witchspace to achieve an instantaneous displacement. Since the displacement is i...

Ah, comforting. Thanks. I'm pleased to have a mission, and I'll wait for the cloak mission later.

Here I boldly go...

I've recently attained Competent status. And the military came asking for help. I understand that in this mission, you can obtain a cloaking device.

If I agree to help, and get the cloak, but then upgrade to a nicer ship, will the cloak go with me? Or will it be gone forever?

I'm currently saving up for a Python Class Cruiser. I'm shuttling between a poor agricultural and rich industrial, and I should have enough money about the time I hit Dangerous. (Currently Competent.) I'm trying to avoid the majority of non-mission OXPs: I want to win under the intended constraints....

My only complaint about the Cobra MkIII is the cargo space. I'm having trouble *affording* a new ship on ~1500 credits / run. To make more, I need to carry more goods. And I can't even get shipping contracts.

Oh, lord, the November contest is coming up. I once had a wizard with polymorph that I was about to ascend. I had polymorphed all kinds of gems. I was still collecting for high score the week before the contest. Then it got busy at work, and I forgot about it... until the day after the contest. I co...

Wow. You've reminded me that I have been neglecting NetHack. I have yet to ascend a priest. How will we choose between these two fine games? Perhaps you could check the differences between a new save file and your current one, then just update the new save file to have the same number of kills, mone...
