Oolite Bulletins

<rant> I must admit that I am not a fan of the OXZ format as it doesn't encourage the individual to learn anything about.... well anything really! It is a symptom of the lazy plug and play generation that takes everything for granted. That seems to think that everything on the internet should be for...

The gun view point on the Caduceus looks right down the barrel and so on a lot of occasions you don't see the laser. You can adjust the view point if you wish and you would see the laser as on other ships. The plasma cannons are just a big waste of time. I have no idea why they are in the game at al...

Time to confess my sins... Last night while on a parcel run (I think I was only carrying medical data) I was attacked by a group of assassins. I locked ID onto the ring-leader & held down the fuel injector button until I zoomed straight into him/her/it... "PRESS SPACE COMMANDER". :oop...

... accommodate multiplayer ... :) One thing I have noticed regardless of what game you play, the PvP bunch seem to be more wired than most. There is just something about multiplayer that brings out or attracts (possibly both) an undesirable type of personality that reminds me of professional footb...

Yes... yes you do. Ignoring them is not wise..

...or is there a place for a Big Explosions OXP? You've obviously never done the Xeptatl's Sword mission :twisted: Oh, yes I still dream about those wonderful pyrotechnics. I have yet to see any other OXP out explode Xeptatl's Sword. Must give that a run through on my new Computer to enjoy them eve...

I did have an idea once (but due to RL TM never gotten past the idea stage) of writing an OXP that changed things a bit to suit the maps. So some systems would see lots of traders going through for the trade routes with added GalCop protecting the routes and others of course making them more prone t...

Hey Enko, Welcome to the Friendliest Forum this side of RiedquatTM.

Well with CML's  Killit OXP it all becomes pointless as nothing can out uber that one.

I forget who and where on this forum (I am also too lazy to go and find out right now) that posted you know when you have too much Oolite is when you are walking down the street and someone gets in your way (especially if they are of the large variety of human) and the first thing that pops into you...

it is too predictable, too safe, too synthetic Need to have a good variety of OXP's. Well chosen. Also do different things all the time. the volume, mass, hull size don't matter at all Well the game isn't a simulator so why would you expect it to really matter. If you added Newtonian Physics you wo...

With Assassins II, I want all missions to have a chance of failure.

As they should! If/when you eventually need a test-pilot, don't call me - I've retired. <grins>

Still got your Email though........

Very well done. Though the thing at Oresrati could be save game breaking. Do we get an explaination of how it happened or do we have to guess? Well, in the Readme I do warn the player to keep a saved game and do it often. So if someone doesn't read it, then they might have an issue. But if that tur...

<Handwavium> The Thargoids are currently transmitting some kind of interference that scrambles all navigation in interstellar space. The Navy boys are currently looking into a workaround </Handwavium>

I wanted to have a scenario for a failure that would suit the Guild. So I thought of something 'special' for it. The bounty is for attacking the protected ship. You were trying to murder/kidnap the occupants. The life of an Assassin is not exactly one that is law abiding. Did you launch from Oresrat...
