Oolite Bulletins

So ED is now effectively subscription based - you just pay a 'seasonal' fee rather than a monthly fee. Quite smart, really, as there's no definition to the length of a 'season'. Disclosure: I'm still playing ED and I am actually enjoying myself, learning how to fight with FA off, but I don't expect ...

Just a quick post - I think I've found a system name that has arguably made it under the radar of the list of offensive words. My current base of operations is the dubiously named: Kochole. In the interests of keeping this a family site, I won't labour my pronounciation. ===== And to flesh out this ...

Thanks for the follow up. I'm not really sure what one could hope to achieve pleading neutrality to someone that has already decided to open fire, so feel free to not spend much time on this scenario. About the only effect I can come up with would be for a neutral broadcast to have an effect on thos...

You can save at rock hermits now - very handy for fugitives.

Nice. Thanks for the tip. My career as a fugitive (aka conscientious objector to police brutality and abuse of power) may have chance after all.

Heading in system at Erbebeti (a TL 11 Democracy in Chart 5), I was trying out my newly installed MDF Comms system and shouting out to anyone that cared to listen. Minding my own business, I spied a Krait popping onto my scanner ahead of me, flying towards me. It was obviously under attack as it was...

Hey Mossfoot, loving the stories of your adventures but I can't help but think you're inadvertently drawing attention to some of the internal inconsistencies in the ED universe... But, hey, you've got to work with the material you're given, right? Seriously, though, keep up the stories. Enjoying the...

At the risk of drawing attention to a dormant OXZ idea that I've been mulling over for the past 18 months :shock: The idea of making the reliability of witchspace jumps dependant on various environmental parameters would seem to have some relationship to the topic. I won't say that this is in active...

F*** Politics. I bought this game to see pretty things. Gotta agree with your sentiment. I still have to find reason to care about the 'living' galaxy that FDEV are attempting to create. I wonder how long before we see planetary landings...and where's f**king pause button when I'm playing solo? I c...

Thanks everyone. Photobucket seems like it will be acceptable enough. I like to avoid Google offerings where I can...they have enough of my info already

Hi all, what sites are people using to enable the posting of images in their Oolite forum postings (i.e. via the [url] tags)

What pros and cons have you all found with the various options out there?

Um..yeah..I think this OXP is getting a little out of hand now. I think I have problems with a load on the processor...it's even infecting other games... http://daftworks.co.uk/oomages/Bugbear-20150611-Ships%20Cat-S.JPG <Edit: Removed link to box.net, inserted link to image. Thanks Selezen - I'm tak...

Guys, a question regarding the Oolite-1.82_x64-Deployment-to-Test-Release.exe. I'm running Oolite-x64 on Windows 8.1. After a bit of trial-and-error I determined that this utility can be run from the command line, and it asks for a folder where an Oolite installation can be found. I had intended to ...

Looks like Josh Parnell has resurfaced. Sounds like he went through a few months of darkness.

Good to see him back on deck and hopefully his recovery will be complete.

One feature that could be useful - provide an 'OXZ auto-update' option, or at least provide an explicit list of 'Installed OXZs that have a newer version available' (yes, I realise this is achieved by clicking 'Manage Expansion Packs' / 'Update expansion list', then comparing the Installed vs Avail...

... I think a good solution would be to have a regular (say every six months) review of popular and favourite OXP's ... Does the OXZ manager collect data? Is it possible to generate this information automatically and have it posted on the Oolite web page? Having said that the privacy nutjob in me c...
