Re: [Release] Star-Jelly OXP

For some reason, hearing about them spoken of in the context of pets and then the idea of drawign Q-fuel off them.. Well, it seems sort of like getting a puppy or kitten and drawing off bone marrow samples from it every now and then to make soup stock.. :shock: I believe you have singlehandedly rev...

Re: New version of my Fer-de-Lance 3G

Just minor error, but ferdelance_3g.png & ferdelance_3g+.png should be ferdelance_3G.png & ferdelance_3G+.png respectively (or vice versa in the Models/), as linux is a touch particular about case.

Though the solid hot-pink with no markings ships are kinda cute, too.

Re: Why ships aren't round

I was going to buy a bucky-ball house, but then I realised my refrigerator isn't round. Round windows are harder to manufacture, too. & don't even get me started on round cats.

Thanks for that Kaks. It was just that I was hoping to boost the vibe; rack up the rush of adrenalin. After a drowsy dock and flogging off the spoils of shot-up ships, I could do with a whoosh of whitchspace that gets me ready for my next nemesis...! Never mind... 1.75L of gin will get you ready fo...

I'll have a play with that tonight - I really have no use for lasers mounted on the side of the ship!

Silly Belgians. Even your waffles are wrong.

Some commentators actually state Ronald Reagan built the shuttle and started star wars, so that the USSR was 'forced' to follow suit, while they really couldn't afford to. A lose-lose situation. Man, that Ronald Reagan! Flying back in time to the early 1970s just to bankrupt the Soviet Union. Yeah,...

That's odd, is that purely a Linux thing then, cos i've not had probs. In fact, the route AI name was cut/pasted from another OXP way back when when i was first learning OXPing, so that OXP will not be working for you either (sorry, too far back to recall which one, now!) Please don't blame Linux, ...

probably just a typo

Apologies if it's presumptuous of me, but I believe the "Reserve Duty - Route the Thargoid Invaders at xxxx" should be "rout" (qv http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/we ... h=000000#c).

Ah well, c'est la vie, as they say in ancient Scotland. I'll try actually removing everything oolite related outside of the AddOns dir and see if that makes any difference. Two or three more gin&tonics and I won't really care anyway. It's only a few qbombs chucked a cops.

Eel Rapier OXP (murgh_Xships 1.0.1.oxp) not found

Weirdly enough, when I load an earlier save of my commander (700 kills ago) his Eel Rapier loads fine, but the newer save displays the giant rotating question mark and says silly things like: Saved game failed to load. Could not find ship type "eel-alt-player" - please reinstall the approp...
