Oolite Bulletins

can't give examples, but a few years ago the compnay i worked for got several new models of "multimedia laptops" . They did have physical keys at the locations function keys are supposed to be. Default they were assigned to multimedia functions, and the only way to use them as F1 - F12 was...

would be very nice indeed, but function keys already have a binding in the core code, and i think there are keyboards (laptops) that lack function keys. Maybe using Shift + Numberkey for equipment would work. How would oxps find out which keycombo is assigned to them ? If oxps are able to request a ...

Thanks. So in the core game there is a single way to improve or modify shield recharge for a player ship (mil shields) and it doesn't depend on energy recharge at all, or more generally, the properties of a ship ? correct. As far as OXPs go, the shield equalizer should effectively also increase rec...

How is shield recharge calculated, what does 1 for 1 mean ? A few easy examples, perhaps ? Assuming no oxp equipment that changes shield recharge : Built-in shields have shield recharge rate of 2 per shield. Shield Booster multiplies this with 1 , so stays 2 per shield Mil. shields multiply shield ...

Hmm, dragons > dragonriders of Pern (books by anne McCaffrey) > fire breathing teleporting creatures with a pilot > could be the description of an oolite ship. Been a long time since i read them, can't remember what names mrs McCaffrey used for the dragons. Another suggestion : Dragonship with plasm...

Looked up subentites in wiki, and while it doesn't give much info what restore does, subentities appear to be ship objects, so have all properties of a ship. for player ship that includes serviceLevel . Your findings suggest that removing/readding turets changes parent serviceLevel, and that trigger...

Added a note to Discusssion for that wiki page.

Keep in mind you'll need to have atleast 2 graphical cards (one can be integrated in processor), unless you want to run the host headless.

OK Thanks for the research folks. It was me wondering how it could be purchased with a Naval Energy Unit and yet could not use a Naval Energy Grid with it because of it's inability to get an M.S.E. just seemed slightly anomalous to me . :) Try Naval Grid Next, the Naval Energy Grid in there no long...

I'm not certain as to whether the debug console uses Python 2.7 or 3.4

Python2.7 , i had to install python2 version of twisted to get the debug console to work.

If you mean the "ship has gone to other system" message only showing at loading and not at docking, that is a bug indeed.

The fact the ship you search does jump to another system if you dally with getting there does feel realistic to me.

recapturing containers usually involves a Boa . Jump to the system mentioned following the QUiCKEST route (multiple short jumps are much faster then 1 long jump) , NOT the shortest route. Once there, go witchpoint - planet - station route, that route gives the best chance to find it. If you don't fi...

Sounds like you found a sensible way to give some assasins criminal status .

How about calculating an assassasin Fee based on parcel , courier ship and courier elite ranking ?

The lower the fee, the bigger the chance some assassins will have a criminal record.
