Oolite Bulletins

Hi!

Was this with vanilla flavoured constrictor bits or with the more_hints_oxp installed?

I'd be interested as this OXP I made in half a day is still being downloaded regularly, down through several major code revisions.

Hmm... aren't you are a formal one. ;) I tried with Thargorn to stay as close to the game standard as possible, so I just remapped the standard thargoid.png skin to fit the new craft ... ('cause I didn't much like the oscillating animation of the shader example texture variant, I did put in the shad...

Is this an adaptation of one of those 'flashy' textures?

hehehe,

have some trumbles.


IIRC there is an OXP that expands on the pods and resque/capturing them
+ rewards/bounty etc

Scooping an escapepod is no act of kindness!
The pod is perfectly able to get to the nearest station (excluding in witchspace), so it actually is illegal confinement.

Ahoy!

Go right ahead.
There's no need to ask for permission, though I'm gratefull you did draw my attention to your project.

I'm proud to have a 'third generation' oxp spawn from my addition to the 'first gen' behemoth_oxp.
The more oxps the better.

hmm. IIRC one can have a special mission screen pop up at any time and under all sorts of conditions, the ones I specified above would even be pretty mundane. when docked and no mission screen and say...tradingscreen is selected. what type of socialplace would be present could be determined while do...

I 'd like to suggest a custom F-'page' for stations, besides the standard mission-popup and mission-hints F-screen. One that can be coded in oxp's to represent leisure/social locations such as bars, restaurants, cantinas, saunas, etc. A "Do you really want to enter [location]? Y/N" would b...

Just makes me wonder why the twin plasma cannon consumes hugely more energy than all the lasers. My question here would be how come all lasers consume exactly the same energy. Surely a military laser would consume more juice than a puny pulse one? However, I believe that before attempting to fiddle...

Maybe you could make the OXP conditional? Like... when a player has achieved Deadly rank and/or is in gal4 and up, have a newscast or something announce that organised crime has made off with the weapon stockpiles of Saider-krupp. Or that gal+1 has a sale on all beam weapons. something like that. It...

indeed. Though I'd not compare the C3 to a beetle... that would be the Adder... outdated but loved, ubiquitous and easy to maintain. The C3 is more like a reliable fourdoor sedan... with optional stationwagon extension. :p (I haven't got enough car interest to be able to name any more recent superbl...

Not really. Considering the cars analogy. Those types of cars that are still around from the 60's and beyond are generally those that were easy to maintain in the fist place, had a long production run and gained a 'fanbase'. like renault 2cv's and VW beetles. High end vehicles mean non-standard part...

It has been stated before: slavery is not a function of government type, it is an ethical value of the society. It is similar to capital punishment; I could make a case that civilized nations don't use this practice and thus no bounties should be paid in rich systems (or someting equally irrelevant,...

I'd probably just script a death-action to yield bounty, but that would likely be considered rather oldschool and crude. :p

Liking it. Always thought the same about descriptions having no influence on gameplay (besides player roleplaying). :) Before JS it would not have been easy to select scripts for description strings...it would have required retroengineering the seed and universe creation-description code. With JS th...
