alternativ screenshot for the wiki

Is this alternative texture available anywhere?

I read through Cas Tell’s thread.

Does it all mean that one needs different versions of Oolite for different versions of Ubuntu?

The Decline (and eventual Fall?) of GalCop Musings Looking at the regions on ClymAngus’s Vector Map and then musing about the Golden Age of GalCop leads me to wonder what happened and how it happened. Just gazing at the far east of G1 (the three anarchies of the Devil’s Triangle, and the assorted an...

At least you guys now have your NHS fully funded again! Right?... I mean, wasn't that... My experiences are all good as regards that (but they were also good before the election!). But! My kid brother now has to chase his chemo medications every week/two weeks - he used to get them automatically ea...

Just a reminder that we have more than half-a-dozen unfinished dockables gathering dust.

Amaranth’s refinery, Amber Moon’s artefact, Colonization, Gsagostinho’s experiments, Solar Harvester, SuperIco

All in either “Brilliant but broken…” or on the “Oolite Stations” wiki pages.

For those interested in trying E:D, it's free in the Epic games store till November 26 2020.

Did you think it is any good?

Good morning Cholmondely Thank you for replying, I have had a bash with the new keys and my Mrs had to come and unpick the knots in my fingers - oh to be thet 1st year senior school pupil again. I did struggle a bit with the lenslock at the time... Its a devil isnt it - there seems to be something ...

Apologies!

Have you tried the in-game Tutorial yet?

I discovered Oolite yesterday and have been blown away by the look of it. Sir James! Welcome to the friendliest bulletin board this side of Reidquat! Try looking at the documentation included in your Oolite download - the OoliteRS.pdf and Mr Gimlet. The second deals with strategy, but the first sho...

thank you sir!

Thy eminence!

Your blurbs continually refer to "Damage Inc", "138th SOAR" & "Purgatori" variants. I feel that explanations of these are needed for our wiki. Is there any chance of some sort of explanation?

Wiki page now up.

Needs a little more work.

I’d not realised that the pictures were all of the Lave main planet! I’d presumed that they were of each planet in the Lavean solar system.

We seem not to have many detailed moon textures. Strangers World only has 6. I saw no dedicated moon textures when I broke open your additional planets oxzs.

For the past 12 years, I've been a Victorian

You lucky chap! The medicine back then wasn’t as good, but etiquette was a darn sight better - as were standards of deportment.

Impressive, Sir!

One presumes that the secondary planets would have smaller populations - and this smaller markets (demand & supply).

How long does it take in real time to fly from one to another? In Strangers World it can take 20-30 minutes.

But, yes, I agree with you. The in-game tutorial does not help with MFDs, for example. It is only for the vanilla game. And over the past 5 years we’ve attracted many younger people who never knew Elite (and who presumably drifted away again). And who seem to load up their game with a zillion-and-on...
