Oolite Bulletins

Have you tried the in-game Tutorial?

I suppose I'm trying to turn oolite into a freelancer / freespace type game - and obviously it would be a massive and probably impossible undertaking.. but i think it would go down very well with youngsters / new players if there was an overarching 'purpose' One can presumably do this sort of thing...

In Strangers World the other planets are much further away and are tiny when seen from the witchpoint (or the main planet, or the sun).

I've yet to really try Norby's Far Planets. But it'll be similar, I'm sure.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Oolite!

I'm getting old.

… and the rest of us are not?

Funnily enough, we need a new kettle (day to day we use a boiling water tap, I love it!) so maybe I’ll consider it! I also want to be able to have my smart lighting reflect my red alert status… How long are those contraptions good for? Are they designed to auto-kaputificate after a couple of years ...

As regards Docked HUDs it seems an immersive introduction for new players. And there are some nice little touches.

Only issue noticed so far is with changed HUDs using HUDSelector. On launch my changed HUD invariably reverts to vanilla.

Contents of the kettle, surely?



And with the way the world is going, a cave might be a better bet.

That-a-one. ^^^ Got it! Will get back to you about it. But, vis-a-vis your comment on the MFDs above, I usually have 12. I find the excess of information more "realistic" and thus immersive. With my ghastly combat skills the occlusion of the panoramic view makes little difference to my ga...

Should the "Gameplay and Balance Indicator" be a blue one?

I don’t understand. They are already on the OXP list page. But… The OXP list page is not really used anymore. Cim’s in-game Expansions Manager was universally used until all the relevant downloading url’s were changed. Hiran’s Oolite Starter is also now used. OXPs not on the Expansions Manager (Gal...

As we already identified that the OXP is broken: The OXP manifest demands a minimum Oolite version (https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Manifest.plist#required_oolite_version) but does not specify any maximum (https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Manifest.plist#maximum_oolite_version). With that users a...

I was away for an eternity, unfortunately real life takes away a lot of time and I'm not so young anymore.

Thanks again, after so much time I'm happy to see someone still gives a shot to LITF. I really want to improve it, but I have to balance carefully time and energies.

Welcome Back!

Will need hacking to death...

Just looking at the statistics, ignoring the police… Two initial comments on the above. 1) Cim (in his Ships' Manual ) gives a number of extreme variations on the 8 government types which would have consequences for the other statistics. 2) Stranger's World includes an OXP which changes the statisti...
