Oolite Bulletins

You want more efficient missiles? Edit shipdata.plist, the "missile" entry in particular, and add something like accuracy = 9; . Then save & Shift-restart Oolite and observe how much better your missiles become. Obviously, this has the disadvantage that the same applies to the enemy m...

I really, REALLY hate missiles in Oolite. I don't mind that enemies have missiles. I DO mind that they have missiles built by a better company. To date, across multiple commanders and about of year of gameplay, I think I've had a missile actually hit its target once. I almost never use them. What ha...

On a related note Kate Russell just announced her Elite book, and she can be found in the comments section of the Elite KS

Just started a new game. Decided to keep only eye-candy .oxps. No random hits, navy etc. Wanted to reach Elite the 'right' way. My goal is to hit Elite before 2014. We will see.

I dunno.

I got the impression MP was going to be small 'groups' maybe a few hundred on one server. I can't imagine them doing thousands on at the same time. If its smaller, guilds would be kind of pointless. Need more info.

Bah! So many choices. Do I start with the default Sidewinder? Do I start in Imperial Space with an Eagle as a bounty hunter? Do I start in Federal Space as a trader in a Cobra Mk. III? Or do I start with a Cobra III in Lave with 100 credits.... I think the new pledges was a brilliant idea. Also. £94...

I just can't bring myself to play something that isn't a stable release. I have no idea if my selection of OXP's will work, I don't know if my save will transfer, I have no idea if my computer won't just keel over at the new effects.. etc. etc. Best not to chance it until someone waves the ol' wand ...

Happy Holidays folks!

bah! quit teasing me with 1.77 and just release it already! :p

Looks great!

@Wolfwood D: Don't you ever spew such blasphemies against my baby! 'win our hearts over from the old Cobbie' indeed! You should be ashamed of yourself good sir! Old... pft! She's a classic. Ahem.

She was procedurally generated. <chortles>

I finally got around to pledging!

Silly economy, holding me back from supporting the writer of the excellent Oolite Saga!

Also, the lady in the video. Model? Friend? I'm genuinely interested how she came about. Does one simply pay beautiful womanz to pose for trailers?

@ Smivs I like!




So I got a new computer, and just installed the latest Griffs



So... good. I actually needed a moment to myself after launching.

I got the new Cobra as well, but nobody is selling it. Gonna have to track it down and make it mine!

is beautiful!

....but then he would have to create a damage model, and make each room inside the ship so that you can see it when it goes boom. In fact, modding is going to be a real pain for ships. First you create the model, then you fill in the insides with rooms and such for the update that allows boarding, t...
