Oolite Bulletins

You may also appreciate her choice in personal sidearm: a custom replica Colt/Browning .45 caliber pistol. "Kinetic weapons may be heavy, loud, and archaic, but by no means less effective, and, due to the completely mechanical operation, often more reliable than hand lasers." -- Ath'aenah ...

Ath'aenah dons a full pressure suit with helmet, and ties it into her fighter's life support system, with the cabin depressurized. Very sensible - one never knows when a couple of warships might appear. Are hull breaches a thing? Shields down, green lasers pounding bare hull plating - seems likely,...

So you're sitting in the cockpit of your starship... How are you dressed? In spacer's leathers with a blaster on your hip like Northwest Smith? Or maybe in a jumpsuit, or even in a pressure suit with helmet to hand in case your ship springs a leak? Depends on the Roh'i. Most are casually dressed: D...

Then it may depend on how your favorite Linux distro does things.

After all, Kubuntu aint gonna behave like OpenSuse, Zorin, or whatever.

I've got several versions (1.88 vanilla/gamers, 1.90 vanilla/gamers, 1.90 developers & 1.91 nightly) of Oolite loaded - they all share the same AddOns and ManagedAddOns folders. Ok, so it doesn't work quite the same way for your Mac users. For Windows and Linux userspace installs, each instance...

How many spontaneous comments could you shoot off about planet Ass, or some asshole from planet Ass?

My twisted sense of absurd could find quite a few.

Thinking about it, the one really big change I think that the core game really needs is some sort of oxz managing system, where I can play one game with (say) Stranger's World, another game with Additional Planets, and a third with Orbits and Povray Planets. I wonder if it might be possible to cust...

I played the hell out of Gyruss. Interesting if simple combat model, and the rockin' symphwave rendition of Toccata and Fugue wasn't bad either.

Off the rails a bit, Toccata and Fugue done neoclassical metal style is the bomb. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDNR7j5B0RU

The perversity of the Universe tends towards a maximum. [/i] ~ O'Toole's corollary of Finagle's Law Sounds more like the definition of Entropy in Thermodynamics... The observation of the fair young dracolid above can make it into your Hints oxp, perhaps? BTW, she's right. Whether you gaze at the su...

CSOTB sure had a knack for making Oolite do magic it wasn't ready for, back in the day. (Many of his HUDs still look epic)

This oxp would be sorely showing it's age by now. There's newer oxps,

Telescope,
Target Filtering,
Target System Plugins,

come to mind, that does what this does and then some.

Not-so dark matter. <grins> Making light of a weighty subject, eh? "The cosmos is like one of those ancient clockwork computers. A lot of fixed, unbendable elements and unbreakable physical laws. If it was truly immutable, then no-one, not even the crusty-est of crusty old flyers, would bother...

Well then, gentlebeings...

The great Ooniverse may be slowly dying by all appearances,
Yet refuses to just simply roll over and go gently into the good night.

Take to heart the lesson of the Thargoids,
fight to the last gasp.

Not-so dark matter.

Wiki page now up: https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/MarketAide_OXP I suppose that this oxp is a testimony to how fast things were changing back in 2012-13: one presumes that the ability to add underlays had just recently been added to Oolite, making this possible, but that the ability to add commod...

It's only set up that way, cause fictional logic incoming: The po don't have the resources to give much care. The Guild, however, gives a great big damn about the security of exclusive equipment, and has the resources to do something about it. All that said, very rarely does a bandit manage to jack ...
