Oolite Bulletins

Can anyone else guess when and why the big dip in share price for FD occurred?

Only problem is it's not really a massive drop, but I wonder if this combined with the BBC article made DB do his Q&A yesterday...

I have no intention of playing with others I'll be playing Solo mode only as I've been doing on Beta. Nothing personal I just like doing my own thing! Besides I play with an Xbox 360 controller (not that I own an Xbox, perish the thought!) and those with joysticks and HOTAS would run rings round me!

I doubt that solo online equals single player. So i will pass too, unless proven wrong <wishfull thinking>. On the bright side Oolite looks and feels even better on the rig i have build for ED :D Solo basically is Single Player except it's online still. So its the same galaxy affected by all other ...

He uses the same controller as me!

So now all we need is an insider at Frontier to leak the server backup and some source code and I'm sure someone could put together an offline version!

Their newsletters are always advertising vacancies...

(For legal purposes I will state I'm joking in case FD monitor this board.)

This answer was slightly comforting:

At least now we know that (hopefully) when/if the servers go down the backup will be made available so the game will not be lost.

Even BBC News are going on about it now!

You can still play them today though won't be able to day the same for ED one day... EDIT: Although I'm still disappointed I do think that Drew's article on the situation is worth a read for all of those of you who are angered or disappointed with this announcement: http://www.drewwagar.com/progress...

You know Im too young for the original Elite, I discovered these types of games via Oolite and Ev Nova. Maybe my straying from the path was a sign? "Though shalt not play other space sims until though has reacheth Elite in Oolite." :p Don't say that as I'm already there and don't want to ...

The thing is that as long as they keep Solo Mode I won't mind as that's all I've been playing on anyway. As I said before I'm only annoyed as I can still play Elite, Frontier and FFE decades after they were made but I won't be able to do the same with ED...

I always assumed this would happen. The only quarrel I have with this is that when they decide ED isn't profitable anymore and switch the servers off there will be no more ED...

he next feature I'm working on is to allow a bit more control over the interface colours and layout. A way to hide the 'orrible grey line under the screen title - the single most jarring, amateurish, home-made, placeholder-I'll-get-around-to on-screen feature in Oolite - would be nice. Every time I...

We are delighted to announce Tuesday 16th December as the release date for Elite: Dangerous! WHAT! This week's newsletter announced the release date. Also Gamma will begin on 22nd November and then the game will be released on 16th December. Not long now! :mrgreen: http://us2.campaign-archive1.com/...

I like how those with PC can access Mac version and vice versa. Not that I own a Mac but good news for those who do!
