There is some truth to this, insofar as in vanilla Oolite "civilian" lasers are red, police lasers are magenta, and thargoid lasers are green. It still seems dependent of ship type, rather than of laser type. What I would like is something like red for pulse laser, orange for beam laser, ...

I was not aware that this was actually an academic subject, but it got me thinking. It occurs to me that the Philosophy of Science might vary from place to place. So here are my Global variations in the Philosophy of Science. Europe:- A way to spend Billions proving that something tiny exists. Afri...

Quite a lightshow. Now an oxp that let's you choose a color when you buy a laser. :D I don't think I would install such an OXP, I like that the colour reflects what kind of laser (miner, pulse, beam, military, police, thargoid) is being used. 1.77 looks great. When it is planned to replace 1.76.1? ...

Ahh.. by the late great Eric Frank Russell.. I wasn't aware of that story, though.. I know him from one of my favourite anarchist scifi stories, And Then There Were None . He's credited with having originated the expression "myob" for "Mind your own business" which appeared in t...

A wild shot: "Semper Mars" by Ian Douglas?

Will this gentleman get an answer to his question? John Grotzinger, the principal investigator for the Mars rover mission, says they recently put a soil sample in SAM, and the analysis shows something earthshaking. "This data is gonna be one for the history books. It's looking really good."...

Wow!

I love cats, but I'm unfortunately allergic to them.

Thanks to this OXP I can have one which does not make me tear and which doesn't upset my breathing.

Thanks, all, for the fine advise!
