Oolite Bulletins

I'd be happy with a computer with Oolite v28.7 installed :) as count hashemir fenring once asked baron harkonnen, "why does oolite er hmmm, circomlocute around the er hmmmm sexual er hmmm question? Simple, this is a family forum :D But would the Friendly Gourd have finished his shipset by v28....

...(though the dorking computer is still only about 9 for 10 on the whole "not blowing up" thingy). The DC is to be viewed in a similar manner as to cats. It is cute and cuddly most of the time, but you just know it is evil at its heart and is plotting to kill you. Just look at it sitting...

Also bad puns and thread derailing are also some of the services we provide.

It has been said many a time here on this forum that as soon as you are in a position to afford it, you don't need it. But for immersion it can be very good.

It would be interesting to hear her try to pronounce her fathers board name. Hope she just uses Daddy.

Now lets toataly screw up this thread by talking about ideas about how to stay youthful!

Ah!!!! I am thinking of legal status.

Balls, I hate getting older.............

As far as I know, the kill-count has always been visible in Oolite - has been for five and a half years, anyway. As for fragging drones: if they're inert, you should not get kills awarded for them (which I thought was the case - but I must have been dreaming). When I first started playing Oolite th...

With regard to the kill count, remember that the core game hides this number and it is only observable by either installing an OXP or go digging into the player save file. So it is good to remember to keep in mind the changes we are discussing here are for the core game without OXP instillation. Whi...

This is always a favourite of mine. Instantly gets the vipers attention, even if they were attacking you at the time.

Having surprises adds a bit of fun into the game.
