[Solved] Hi. I have entered the field of model and texture creation. I have learned much, but there are things I can't figure out. I created a dockingbay, that is haunted by a shadow effect I wish to go away: http://s8.postimg.org/vkutdohtd/solarstationbayshadow.jpg This looks horrendous. The funny...

Land Rover will replace the Defender with an all-new version. That's the least they should do. And it's alright to replace an old model with a new, overhauled, s.o.t.a design model, but I think we all know, how this will play out. With an overpriced nice to look at, but expensive to maintain piece ...

Hmm. I see that quite a lot ships are being sold per station, but the number is still limited and often enough you have to look for some time, before you get your dream deal. It would be a nice OXP to make things a bit more challenging, but I for my part ain't lured by this idea at this point. Ooops...

*stealthquickpost* :lol: : Fer-de-Lance hold dual forward lasers in the same center position. "dual forward lasers in the same center position." sounds powerful. I like the concept, that the Fer-de-Lance higher price is finally justifiable now. The Fer-de-Lance is fast, but also easy to hi...

Good that that went well.

Will this be made available for 1.82 soon? Sadly, it's very likely that it never will be, as the feature, that mostlikely allowed this modification ( weaponport spliting and multipling ), is brand new in 1.83. :( EDIT: Maybe this helps: http://terrastorage.no-ip.info/oolite/nightly/ If it does, giv...

Does system.addShips("alloy",30,player.ship.position,1000) also spawn multipling plates for you? (It doesn't for me. I also don't have your spectacular explosions.) Do you have any shader enhanced models installed? Or OXP ships or stations. Anything that does contain a shipdata.plist. Mayb...

Are you sure it is related to Spicey Hermits? The plate definitly was, but those explosions. I know I'm likely to go on your nerves, as you most certainly already have done this, but just for the heck of it: They don't occure without SH OXP, right? I guess you also have renamed the oolite\Addon and ...

I never have been a fan of reputation decay, but it is reasonable for contracts. If you just don't transport cargo anymore, you are getting unreliable...Heeeeey. Wait a minute. Now that I'm thinking about it, you're getting unreliable in which way? To begin with, there are no steady contracts. The c...

... the player should feel insignificant so that no player action alone should change systems. <shakes his head in disagreement> :twisted: The player isn't god, but should certainly have some impact. If she/he can't change the overall spawning rate, she/he should definitly change at least something...

[...]Now, I hope that in this case the algo doesn't converge: we may not want to have systems which are all the same once enough time has passed. Balancing out an algorithm, that simulates the dangerlevels of all systems, in such a way, that if enough time passes everything ends up like it is the c...

[...]like a "less natural spawns" option and then your OXP could fill the rest with its spawning rules[...] [...] All that would happen is some numbers used to calculate how many ships are created are adjusted. [...] I would add a single line to the "systemWillPopulate" routine,...

Traders destroyed: increase pirate spawning/decrease traders spawning. Make that also: decrease pirate spawning. Increase it when galcop vipers are destroyed. ...hmm my two cents to it... This sounds like a change, that cuts that deep, it should be made by (at least partly) altering the source code...
