Oolite Bulletins

Cholmondely, you might want to disambiguate that link before we end up with Generation Ships that feature, er, a different kind of wood! :oops: Also, I see from the other link that you are a 'strident sophist'; that's the best kind of sophist, of course - there's no point in being shy about it. EDIT...

My pleasure!

(I gave fixed a typo that was in my previous post: I meant 'now that is silly', not 'not that is silly' (sic).)

Is anyone maintaining the AsteroidRemover OXP, hosted here on BitBucket ? I ask because I think it needs a slight change. The in-game manager bills the expansion pack thusly: 'Moves static asteroids on a really random position'. That text does not make sense. More: if we take the intended meaning as...

The wiki link, which is missing from the first post, is this.

Smivs: WonderWurm? Ah:


Now that is silly.

Something that I did remember is the 'KillIt' OXP, and its amusing write-up!

Right.

Would it be churlish to point out that space lacks water?

phkb: I've given the new generation ship a spin with Interstellar Tweaks - i.e. with the hijacking scenario the latter provides - and everything works. Here is me docking with a hijacked generation ship: True, some Thargoids seemed unresponsive, but that's either a fault of my OXP or just possibly o...

I would like to add the following. Having recently updated - and uploaded - several instance of expansion packs, I for one welcome anything that makes the process less of a hassle!

Nite Owl: sweet!

My good Cholmondely, Let me quote from the 3G OXP's equipment.plist: Fast, powerful naval missile, designed for use against Thargoid mine-sweepers. Almost wholly ECM-immune. Note that here I construe ECM - 'electronic counter-measures' - broadly, so as to include the pulses that Thargoid mine-sweepe...

hiran, Surely not every part of a work of science fiction should be construed as a prediction or at least not a specifically-dated one. On a typical construal, a generation ship - I take it - is a fabricated thing. Thus, Earth is a generation ship only in a metaphorical or attenuated sense. Yet, tha...

A P. K. Dick story is relevant. The story concerns a man who is in suspended animation on an interstellar flight, and the suspension breaks such that he is awake, though immobile. The onboard computer tries to keep the man sane - he will be stuck conscious for years - by simulating scenarios, includ...

This is what I've decided to go for, when one docks with an abandoned hermit (an abandoned hermit - supplied by the Spicy Hermits OXP - that I've tweaked). I adapted the code from my InterstellarTweaks. I noticed that when I was docking, a hermit pirate continued to attack me; here is the view from ...

That might help - thanks. The big news here is phkb seems to have made generation ships - and not just the hijacked type that I designed - dockable! But, hold on, no market? The inhabitants of a generation ship might lack credits, but I imagine they'd be desperate to barter for supplies! Perhaps - i...

I'd like to disable the outfitting screen - where one buys equipment - entirely, or at least to make it empty. Can I do that, for a rock hermit? If so, how? Thanks.

Ah: I think I need to ensure that the entity has the role station.
