Oolite Bulletins

Just did an escort run where I took out the bad guys quickly, only to find the Escort Mother sitting dead in the water after the battle with no apparent damage, just not going anywhere. I tried to "nudge" it by flying close which caused it to wiggle a little then move a little bit then sto...

Thanks, I won't worry about Leviathan anymore :D Well I'm on Military Fiasco, and after reading this thread I tried taking out the Leviathan and its military Hydras/Basilisks/Rattlecutter escorts that just seems to be popping up everywhere (purple dots). They barely fought back, and after wiping th...

I like the escort contracts because they're challenging. You have to take the pirates down *fast* all the while keeping an eye on your escort mother. It's frantic and fun. Financially, they're rarely worth it, unless you happen upon a contract that takes you where you're already going with a load of...

I'm in the Tianve system in the upper-right of G1, and the biggest contracts I see are 11-ishK running to the left side / lower left side of the map. I've built up a long massive list of deliveries along a mostly compatible route (probably some of which I won't make) for about 60K-80K or so before b...

If you're a day early, there's a 75% chance you'll get a 10% tip. The other 25% has just robbed me! A 44k parcel delivered 31 days early paid 44k - not a penny more! <sobs> Edit to add: the game's got it in for me now - the next three deliveries also failed to pay a bonus! WHERE do you find these 4...

My understanding of the mechanism is that there is only one "spot" at maximum reputation: once you reach it, any reputation gained above this is thrown away. So you cannot increase your top status or strengthen it by continuing to deliver more: multiple, frequent, high risk contracts make ...

I do not think we have a case of memory leak here. Although it cannot be completely excluded, I have tested the game with various OXP loads in long runs while monitoring memory usage and it has always been perfectly nominal. For sure the game can go with heavy load for much more than two hours. The...

Can you please provide the Latest.log from the crash (both cases)? Here it is Opening log for Oolite version 1.82 (x86-64) under Windows 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 64-bit at 2016-05-02 02:46:05 -0700. 4 processors detected. Build options: OpenAL, new planets. Note that the contents of the log file can...

I can never scoop precious gems/platinum/gold containers that result from tug drone cargo dumping (the small "gel capsule" containers). They just bounce right off the first time I try to scoop them, then are destroyed on the 2nd attempt. The big multi-ton rectangular containers can be scoo...

So there I was in Maesin, having just completed multiple trips out to multiple derelict waypoint sites with tug drone missiles, scooping up discharged cargo (Luxuries! Firearms!) and hauling it back to the station for Big Bucks, and was heading out for the Random Hits assignment present in the same ...

Just remove the oxp and you should be good to go.

Yes that worked fine, thanks!

I like the cats/dogs but they keep wasting the repair system charges (and not getting repaired in the process) so they must go. How can I get rid of them?

I notice that unless you're on the very edge of the galaxy, the parcel contracts at the top rating have a maximum value somewhere around 3-5K (and involve still flying to the opposite edge/corner). Just not worth it if you're in a Cobra Mk III where you can make 1.4K per jump on a milk run (not to m...

Any ideas on how to find the Boa in a haystack ? Like all normal traders, this one flies from witchpoint to planet. When arriving at the planet, traders make a turn towards the station. It could be that in this system the station is quite far away from the witchpoint-planet route and you missed it ...

Is the Galactic Navy OXP compatible with the latest release v1.82? I don't see it in the in-game expansion pack manager. Can it still be installed manually and work OK? I went ahead and tried it. Seems to work! One small nit is that a Reserve Duty galactic map target is sticking around even after I...
