Oolite Bulletins

Thank you, Sir!

Thank you! Other matters: i) Chrysopelea MK-I and other ships are listed under 'orphaned' pages in the wiki special pages list. But they are linked in on the Oolite ships page. What does 'orphaned' really mean? ii) I want to put a link on the Complete Ship List wiki page to the Category:Oolite ships...

Here's the introductory text - just in German, Spanish, Portuguese & Russian (I can provide the others) - from Oolite.org. Does this translate better? How much time would it take to properly polish up the Googletranslate version of this? German Über Oolite Unter den sieben Billionen Menschen, di...

How many of us actually read Mr. Gimlet before playing Oolite? Is reading of such 'flavour text' more or less common these days as a determinant of whether or not to try a game? IMHO cim wrote a 'blurb' - short, sweet and to the point. Disembodied wrote a preface - no less good but much less short ...

As I said, Disembodied's style is top notch. It is fun. It is readable. It is very informative. But I'm unsure as to how it gets translated by a computer. There are many nuances - and as a monoglot Brit I have no idea how well Google Translate puts them over - if at all. Hence the reason for my post...

Cim has a very good style - the rough-speaking stationmaster with his disdain for the new Jameson, the jargon/slang etc . Small correction here: The text you are referring to was written by the the Big D*, not cim. cim wrote the intro text at the front page of oolite.org. * Big D = Disembodied Than...

Just had a first glimpse at it this morning, your German version would be in need of some polishing. :wink: All versions will need polishing. Goodness Grief! They were done by a blasted computer! That's not my point. Cim Disembodied has a very good style - the rough-speaking stationmaster with his ...

I assume that the amount of effort involved in successfully transmogrifying Disembodied's Cim's masterful English original into the various languages below is too great to be worth the effort. Am I correct? Please advise! Cholmondeley PS The languages below were chosen by my butler, Benedict. Their ...

There is now a Language page on our wikipedia: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Language Oolite en Français Oolite auf Deutsch Oolite Italiano Оолит по-русски Oolite en español I'm lucky enough to be English. And therefore I'm pretty much monoglot. __________________________________________________...

Beautiful! Really.

So, with my preference for yaw, I probably am a rather large yellow slimy lizard! I just haven't looked properly in the mirror yet. I'll have to ask Araminta. Benedict is far too demure to ever tell me the unvarnished truth.

Thank you! Very interesting idea: putting all the navigation keys together like that. I too have found that yaw works better for me than roll - much more instinctive. If I'd had Cody's years of battling across the galaxies in Elite I might well share his predilictions in this matter: but I haven't, ...

No, no, no .... My dear chap, the assault on one's aesthetic sensibilities would be too extreme if we actually held our banquets in those bolshevist behemoths. As you doubtless have overlooked, the appropriate environment requires not just the cuisine and the appropriate beverages, but also consider...

Thank you, Sir Milo! Right, I’ve started mucking about with the Wiki: (so far just the List of Oolite stories ) to see if I could do it without causing everything to go belly up! I’d rather appreciate some feedback before I start committing mayhem with the Wikipedia Page Titles , so I’m consulting h...

Were there any other equipment items you bought and are missing? Benedict reminds me that there was the matter of a Military Upgrade to something called Rhinoceros Hide.... What was that, Benedict? Iron? What does Iron have to do with Rhinoceros Hide? I'm not sure that I understand! Is it one of th...
