Oolite Bulletins

My hint: Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, keep an eye on the price of gems, gold and platinum. Every station, rock hermit, salvage gang... wherever. Wherever it is even marginally below the optimum price, buy it all up then save it up and just carry it around indefinitely (you can store LOA...

(just some further suggestions)

Thanks for the heads up. If any of them give me too much trouble, I'll try to tweak the config files to tone them down a bit .

Excellent news on the Navy OXP, I have downloaded it (with additions) and will hopefully get a chance to try it out later. Not that my Cobby is sufficiently equipped yet, but I can try...

How about ships? Can I safely install all those old ships? I used to love flying about in the terrapin.

Hey, I've recently come back to Oolite after a few years off. I've had a new PC in the meantime, so I've had to reinstall the latest version from scratch, then spend an hour or two downloading all my preferred OXPs. Hooray for the OXP manager, it makes that bit sooo much easier. Anyway, everything i...

The version (v2.5) of this OXP in the in-game expansion manager is not working with Oolite 1.82 due to the changes in market generation.

Does that explain the empty markets I was finding in rock hermits, astrofactories etc?

So, in summary, I'd suggest: A need to order ahead (i.e. before you jump into the system where you will collect your ship) Costs as a percentage value of the ship that you will be collecting (insurance premiums etc) A random small chance that your ship is obliterated in transit (Your hyperspace han...

for better feeling and less handwavium. Indeed... "Hey, good to see you again buddy. Listen, I just had a hell of a trip getting here. Thargoids at the witchpoint, then I had to battle 6 pirate gangs, took serious damage to my ship and lost almost a quarter of my cargo. If it hadn't been for t...

Let me know what you think.

I think it looks awesome, makes me wish I had a ship with lots of skins available (currently in a Terrapin). Maybe I'll buy a Python.

OK, just tried that: Uninstalled from expansion manager, returned to menu, closed game, reopened game, reinstalled from expansion manager, loaded savefile, FTSNoD.

I recently updated ExtraFuelTanks and there is a screen to 'explain' some changes when you first start the game after the upgrade. The message is a one-shot - it should be removed on pressing 'space' and should appear only once. Is this the OXP? Yeah that's the one. Pressing space doesn't clear the...

I upgraded a bunch of OXPs today (via the OXP manager) and now I have a "Fuel Tank Safety Notice" when I load my savegame. It says "press space commander" but pressing space does nothing. I can't get past it. Closing and reopening the game does nothing. Can I edit my save file to...

This is a nice idea, and yes, ambitious. Suggestions: - Store all the AI's speech in a user editable / swappable text file, so that people can easily write and share different AI personalities (or even translations). A bit like how you can change the voice on your satnav. For example [Situation Comb...

Deep space dredger works under 1.80, I have sold several wrecks to dredgers since upgrading.
