Don't you hate bugs that sense you're trying to examine them and hide?

Is that why we only ever end up with Thargons/Alien Items and never the Thargoids themselves?

Been running it for a bit now; no errors that I can see, but also haven't met any Baakili yet. The latter doesn't necessarily mean anything of course, if they're meant to be rare. roles = "baakili-fartrader bigTrader(0.05)"; seems to imply that the chance is 1/20th of a full role. So if y...

Been running it for a bit now; no errors that I can see, but also haven't met any Baakili yet. The latter doesn't necessarily mean anything of course, if they're meant to be rare. Sorry again! I'd not realised that this OXP was separate from the FarArm ships OXP (ships are not my area of expertise)...

Sorry for the late reply, somehow I missed your message. :oops: No worries :) You might be able to divert to a simple mission screen: "No shipyard facility present", or similar. Finally, found some time to refresh my Gui coding and found a simple solution: this.guiScreenChanged = function...

Vagrants can't afford the fare. Lobstoids =/= human. Why, seriously why do you people insist on over-complicating everything? Who says they are vagrants? Tiraor is a revolting little planet. Oreseren is a revolting little planet. Cevege: This world is a revolting dump. Velete is a revolting dump. E...

We need EQ_VIDEOPHONE, EQ_CALENDAR, any other excuse to add pictures of pretty girls to Oolite.

I thought you'd already done it! More excuses?

...Human in-system passengers can just ride in the cockpit.

But what if they haven't washed, and smell? Or if they're lobstoids and have not hermetically sealed their exo-skeletal joints?

I've noticed a common cause of savefile bloat for myself is that I like to try out OXPs for a while and then remove them if I decide I didn't like them after all. Is it safe to manually delete keys associated with OXPs that aren't there any more, or is there a risk of ruining the save or causing un...

The impression I got from the wiki page was that it needed Bigships because it's a type of "big trader" ship, and relies on its ship-spawning routine to create the Baakili ships. You are quite right. The need for BigShips is missing in the Far Trader oxp's Manifest.plist. So it should wor...

... Perhaps we should add some more bogus equipment? A salvaged reversible Galactic Hyperdrive? A salvaged coffee-maker? A salvaged bubble-bath? Salvaged Naval Shields? Salvaged Naval Lasers? How about equipment that only mostly works? Akin to my previous suggestion with the salvaged E-bomb, perhap...

Aw, that's a shame. I really wanted to meet the Baakili, they sounded interesting.

The OXP should work just fine without BigShips - have you tried it out?

I'm afraid not Cholmondely, not me. Sorry. I wonder whether you actually intended to ask someone else?

Nope. You!

All the others who might have it seem to have vanished without trace...



How goes it? ...are you still playing the game? And if so, where are you and what are you up to?

I've just pushed updates to the Goods Containers OXP and the Cargo Pods OXP to the Expansion Manager, to fix a couple of bugs/issues. But here is the important one: CargoSpaceCorrection.oxz . Download that OXP and put it in your AddOns folder. This mod will basically recalculate the correct cargo s...

... (until I get around to publishing a new version) ... I'd leave it! Seriously. Caveat Emptor and all that. If people are that desperate to buy a dud, let them! They should in any case be suspicious (due to the Anarchy OXP warnings + lack of EB's in-game), and half-expecting it to fail. In any ca...

Out of curiosity, how does a salvaged energy bomb differ from a regular one? I know most salvaged equipment has a chance of spontaneously breaking; does a salvaged E-bomb have a chance of being a dud? From the ReadMe inside the OXP: In some Anarchies, and even in non-Anarchy-systems, usually in the...
