Oolite Bulletins

Yes, but it all depends on what you see as realistic. Look at the Enterprise from Star Trek. None of the versions looked "Textured" to me. I believe most were painted white, with blue and red lettering, and numbers. I guess some of the ships I see looked kind of fakey, even though they ha...

Texture? You don't like my paint job, LOL!! :o :lol: I keep thinking about that texturing, or shadering, or what ever it is, and I'm still very uncertain about it. I tried following the tutorial on how to make one, a couple of different times, but I could never get the hang of it. I just like to tr...

I'm calling this ship the Terminator. I actually had a different ship with the same name, before my computer crashed last Spring, but it was quite radically different than this one. This ship is in the very early development stages, as I thought about making this a really huge, Behemoth-like ship, ...

Looks like a rather obvious one, I just had to report it:

Each Takina Class NPC is now escorted by a small fleet of Koneko Mambas. 6 for the normal Takina Class, and ten for the CX1 model. http://i33.servimg.com/u/f33/16/73/49/25/oolite27.png http://i33.servimg.com/u/f33/16/73/49/25/oolite28.png These fighters are small, but capable. They each have two har...

This is the SideShooter. Kind of a one sided ship. I think it's a kick to fly. Now, that's a cool design. How's laser aim? I would think with the laser of center it would be kinda hard... or is the laser on center, but the rest of the ship isn't? Either way, super cool ship. Also, I notice you're u...

Update on the OXP completion status: I spent all day after lunch playing disc golf, so I haven't had time to work on the OXP. Sounds exciting I'll look forward to seeing the new escort ship. Okay, I should have a screenshot of it soon. Cool. Are these player flyable, or are they NPC only? I can't wa...

Ryanhoots - These ships look great. I'll definately download them when you release them.

Excellent work

Thanks. I plan on also adding a special escort ship to the OXP, using a model I made a while ago but never got around to using in an OXP.

Okay, I've got a prototype Takina Class Bonus OXP complete. I still have some bugs to work out, but I should have a beta release ready later today if I have the time. This OXP is a standalone OXP for the Takina Class... it works on its own, without any of my other OXPs. It will work with Koneko Indu...

:D yes the first one was better :wink: Tip. If I want some good screenshots I spawn a few on launching with nullAI. They just sit there and you can get some nice screenies with various lighting as well. Now, that's a great idea, I'll have to try it. My test pilot savefile was used to snap a few goo...

Ryan, if a tiny black dot is an OK-ish screenshot, I'd love to see a dodgy one!

How's this?



I really need to load up a player version of the ship for some shots... that's the one thing I forgot to do when coding the ship.

Nice work Ryan. Me likey! Thanks. I've spent a lot of time working on it, to make sure everything is the way I want it. :) I especially like the Takina class. Any chance of getting that as a standalone OXP? If you want it as a standalone, I can do that. The Takina Class is my favorite of all the sh...

Okay, a beta release is finally ready. Download it here: https://www.box.com/s/xxdt78q7nrpcnkng79b1 The OXP is more or less feature complete, although I do want to test it a little more. I'd say it's pretty much ready for a full release, so technically this is a release candidate rather than a beta,...

An Anguis Primus has been sighted in the Raanre system... but it isn't there anymore.

Would also love to get my flying fingers on a Caduceus - any tips? I've flown a Caduceus quite a few times, and I can testify that it is a beauty of a ship. However, you really have to look to find one. Take some passenger contracts, and check all the high tech level planets along the way to your d...
