Oolite Bulletins

Even among add-on ships, there seems a real lack of ships with cargo capacity from 20-90 tons. Basically just the Cobra Mark III. Anything that falls into that range that wants to avoid being too good must be either slow, poorly shielded, unmaneuverable, cannot have many of the extra add-ons (no shi...

Best examples have to be the standard Boa and Fer-de-Lance.

Unless very well coded, could there even be a bug with wandering out of the "playing area" in regular space or witchspace?
Admittedly, this would probably require a very long trip to eventually cause the location values to flip over.

The shot-up fleeing pirates also need a better strategy.
Straight-and-level may work if they're 10+ km away, but when they're <2 km away and I'm on their tail, they need to be turning-and-burning.

So I'm not losing my mind about dumb escorts.
The solution is to try the trunk obviously...or can I import parts of the trunk into v1.73.4?

...So you could have a special coolant tank that drops laser and cabin temperature when you use it. Maybe like multi-missile racks, it wouldn't be a 1-shot but could even be depleted based on how overheated your ship is when you use it.

In regular space, will Thargoids shoot at EVERYONE else, including nearby pirates that may be attacking you? I'm just wondering because I haven't been able to set up such a scenario owing to the rarity of Thargoid ships in regular space. Target fixation for enemies doesn't seem a problem as-is, at l...

I've been ramming using the starting Cobra -- seems tough enough to handle boulders...or even asteroids at low speed. I still had problems with Ore Processor 1.57 (test). ...So I made some changes. :lol: In Scripts\OreProcessor.js this.processOre = function () It was this: if (this.message.length > ...

this.mySound.play(7) ...would certainly be useful instead of looping the sound. I park my ship ~0.04km from an asteroid, blast it with a mining laser till there's nothing but shards, then quickly scoop them up before they drift apart. Sometimes there are >5 to-be-processed shards inside my ship at o...

...So instead of making something from scratch, I'm hacking existing OXPs. In particular, these: DeepSpacePirates 1.2.4.oxp Dredgers 2.4.2.oxp Pirate_coves 1.2.1.oxp Rock_Hermit_Locator1.3.1.oxp total_patrol.oxp DeepSpacePirates 1.2.4.oxp was almost just what I wanted, except it was a little TOO muc...

I'm using Ore Processor v1.56 with Windows Oolite version 1.73.4 ...on an old Celeron 2 Ghz desktop (actually midtower case) with 1 GB ram and GeForce 4 MX 64 MB ram vid card. Directx 9.0c, latest Java version from Sun, Win XP Pro SP3. OXPs I was using: BountyScannerv1.07.oxp clearskies.oxp DeepSpac...
