Like it more an more, and I don't care what your intentions were, Cdr Wyvern, I think it does have a Bio look to it and I like that. I think you should go with the Bio theme.

Just my opinion.....

However , a paid version of Oolite would no doubt draw the attention of sinister forces. What parts of Oolite’s code, text and graphics assets actually constitute derivative works of Elite is an interesting discussion, but not one any of us are in a position to hold in court. If we received a cease...

Now this last screen shot just strengthens the Bio look in my view, especially the ship in the background. Just one small thing that nags me. The window makes the ship look smallish. Personally I would make it look like a detachable command module (like star trek), or smaller. I know absolutely noth...

Re: ...

I'm quite surprised that you of all people don't get it, after effectively preaching (amongst to others also to me) that Oolite was about the pictures in your head also! It's atmospheric! ... to have a log, even if it is not the most practical thing in-game Thank you for putting it so eloquently. I...

Which already exists for ages . Or do you think Hesperus invented the Church of Giles the Creator (CGC) here on the spot? Can't remember all the OXP's I have downloaded and installed (Yes, got it). But considering we now have, Commies, Anarchies and soon Fudal I hope, I think there is a lot more po...

No offense, Wyvern, but... incomparable... Sort of agree, but I think the Xarik has a lot of potential. Its like looking at an old Navy ship with bits sticking out all over the place and a new one constructed with stealth in mind. The Xarik also has a bio flavour to it that I think Wyvern could exp...

But Giles made the Oolite stock ships… Hmmm.. Suppose he did, but I would give B&B the credit for their design though. And original game idea came from B&B, so some credit is due. However, I am eternally grateful for Giles and Your effort for bringing us Oolite, and I don't expect much in t...

Nay! There is no god but Giles, and Ahruman is his prophet! Hey.. We have the setup for an OXP here. Religions and sekts. Good counter weight to Commies and further expansion on the idea of Black Monks. Brabenites and Gileites, with the former being purists adverse to progress and only flying plain...

Now this is very much to my taste. :shock: Not to fond of Griffs Krait. Even though it looks great, it's to far from the Elite original. Really love his Boa though, but it should be called Boa Mark 2, as it is quite far from the original as well, but oh so beautiful. Now if he could just make a comp...

Someone asked about a "ship's log" once; I believe another person responded by linking here and here Yepp.... I got the message last time, so good call again. This time I thought it could be a solution to a very busy communications log. The fact that someone offered a solution, does not m...

Log

I mentioned this before, and I still think it is a good idea. There should be some sort of log available in Oolite. (Game log, not error log). A short config file could be used to let the user chose what is to be logged, including stuff like comms messages, visited systems, kills, market prices etc....
