Oolite Bulletins

What are the chances of a misjump for the player with a well maintained drive. About 1 in 200, though only a fraction of those will be actual misjumps rather than power surges blowing out systems at the initialisation stage, or causing fuel leaks afterwards. (Exactly what fraction is quite a compli...

I think that may be a tactical error - it could lead to a divided/lesser force if an unplanned misjump is thrown into the equation. Unless of course, Navy ships are not liable to unplanned misjumps - which wouldn't seem right, would it? What are the chances of a misjump for the player with a well m...

That could be changed. I just don't like the idea that NPCs get to carry more fuel than the player! Still it would probably be a better idea and would mean the patrols could travel further... A few other options for travelling further on normal tanks: - the jump templates will sunskim if necessary....

Yes, that sounds good to me as well.
I think we'll have to try various shades of blue in-game to see what works - I can see much darker just looking black!

Agree, but if you look at the screen shot posted by keeper, I think that blue looks a little too bright.

HIMSN is progressing well (a lot faster than I thought) so I need to land the logo debate. We pretty much have a 50/50 split on the black or blue background. I prefer black and the flaring sun logo, but from what I understand most here prefer the ringed planet. Proposal HIMSN Intelligence services w...

For a Galnavy scale HIMSN, sure - for a joint endeavour of three systems (and a few hangers-on), though? [...] Good points, definitely! Having a tactically, strategically, and morally elastic Navy, set within a ponderous and often unco-operative Co-operative (who may have cause to wonder whether th...

Looking good, Keeper :) Have we agreed on a specific blue, by the way. I'm hoping to update the Carrier in the next couple of days, and getting the right shade would be good. For the hull, I'll leave that to you and Keeper to agree on. If we use the blue background on the logo (still undecided, as ...

That looks stunning Keeper.
Is it too much to ask for an example with the black background in the logo.
Also, the logos are just mock-ups done in Powerpoint. I'm working on a better version in Gimp/Incscape with everything vector based. I'll hopefully have that ready over the weekend.

[I know it's a mess, I'll clean it up when I re-install my PC some time in the future.] Hey Gimi.. did you tidy this up, yet? I did, but I haven't reimplemented the Symlinks. Their behaviour is not quite consistent so, while everything works fine from within Oolite, there is some strange behaviour ...

So how about if we use the Omega for HIMSN Intelligence (we all know everyone does it) who operate Special Operations Forces in clandestine operations.

We would then have two arms to use for missions. Regular intelligence and SpecOps/Clandestine.
(And this is pretty much how it works in RL anyway)

The star with the omega sign should be used for something special, but non-secret: having a Black Ops division with its own logo seems a little self-defeating ... :wink: While I agree, using black on black logos or it's like is common in RL. Also, it's a game, so I have no problems using it if it l...

What Smivs said..

Are you familiar with how the Kiota stations are put together? Is this something you could do and give to pleb for incorporation in the OXP? Like Thargoid said, having each side look different would require a complete re-model. The same bit of texture is applied on both sides, I'm pretty sure. Pain...

HIMSN Logo overview. Nothing is final, but I have some different ones for you to have a look at. First variants with blue or black background and white or silver planet. http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu289/gimi1967/HIMSN/th_HIMSN20BlueW-Planet.png http://i656.photobucket.com/albums/uu289/gimi19...

Re-using them is fine with me. The changing of the centre dock would be very difficult as it would need a re-modelling, which is not something I would want to do as they were specifically designed for that dock look (and they don't look right with a tiny dock, in my opinion). So if you want to use ...
