Oolite Bulletins

Whatever the motivation Right, they're oxps: if you don't like it then don't install it. The tendency to base oxps on other oxps however (or especially to try to accommodate all oxps where possible) can make things increasingly problematic from a design standpoint. Find the gameplay then shuffle it...

A zero-G cricket pitch, one assumes.

Six!... million credit damage

makes a lot of sense to me Not disagreeing, just using your quote to make a point... Making sense is cool but too often the main consideration by my estimation. Find the gameplay then shuffle it around to make sense. So I recently said that vipers in corporate states having livery and others not ma...

In fact, you could argue that it might even be better if the stations weren't in the game All you've said there makes sense I think and to me at least it highlights a broader design issue with oolite: the main station. In short it's designed to have everything you might need partly as a legacy of i...

Oh wow that's an upgrade and a half.

I was just reminiscing with Cody/EV about all the super stuff you have done over the years.

Please say hello from me and wish him well.

But if the mission is only done well after one has done the Constrictor mission does that not change things? One may already have moved on from the original Cobra to a horrendously-expensive souped-up OXP ship ( FdL Lightspeeder anyone?), and non-Thargoid encounters are already a doddle, et cetera ...

Context: I'm writing some missions for this OXP. ... Let me know your thoughts. Context: I don't know this OXP very well. The constrictor is by design a super-ship and the oolite version especially so. I believe it's true that the original had a speed similar to the oolite cobra mk III wheras the o...

Not new though is it, despite the genus name.

I think the core code needs three commodities for various internal reasons: slaves, minerals and alloys

For escape pods, mining and destroyed ships respectively, right?

Four Forces with varying liveries based on location which could be any system with most forms of Government. No need for a unique livery for every system as many Police Forces use the same livery despite location and distance Nice. Or four different 'branches' One for each of the controlled goods a...

I am sorry but why did the giant snake not try to eat him, or at the very least bite him or constrict him Snakes generally have a slow metabolism. Hungry and aggressive or sated and placid. Could a scientific expedition with 15 scientists on board not have at least a single wet suit among them nor ...

It's a Westralian thing.

Fair dinkum.

Hope that's not an exclusively East Australian thing...
