Those ratfinks at photobucket have screwed-up so many older screenshots! <grumbles>

Aye.. I'd like to do a lot more than grumble at them..

The main function of WP buoys is of course to mark a dangerous zone where ships could pop anywhere and anytime.

Heh.. was about to make this point/suggestion myself, but see you beat me to it!

I can truly see not getting a good pic of him However, in Coyote's case, never photographed and only described by those who have crossed his path And I can't see this.. In a time of tech on the calibre of the Oolite universe, you'd never really know if there was a surveillance camera around somewhe...

There's practically no way of generically adding stickers to ships.

Which makes me wonder if this is something that might be able to be incorporated via the core game code? I'd imagine it would be one hell of a popular feature. I'd like to see what the devs think of this idea.

Ok.. I'm a little confused as to how we suddenly went from discussing planetary GDPs to galaxy-wide conspiracies, but whatever.. :lol: Anyone have any better ideas? :) Well, since the subject matter under discussion just jumped lanes, have you seen Drew Wagar's take on what happened to all the non-h...

I quite like the Shulth pic, and vote for the second Coyote pic.. it definitely deals with that unintended resemblance to Jack Sparrow.

You're welcome.. Mind you, you certainly should read Drew's saga too.. the first one in the series is slightly loaded with in-jokes, albeit still a good read in its own right, but after that he got serious, and turned out one hell of a quadrilogy. On the strength of which, he eventually ended up wri...

Reading the first novelette now.

First novelette?

That sounds like you're reading Drew's Oolite Saga..

The place to learn about Coyote is in Cody's novelette by the same name, which you can download here.

Damn.. it looks like m4r35n357's version of Furball is no longer available either.. Seems to be available here , Diz - just downloaded 1.8 (untested). Huh.. how about that? This time it worked for me.. before, I got some dumb message that made me think it was no longer available. <shrugs> Here's on...

Damn.. it looks like m4r35n357's version of Furball is no longer available either.. that was one of my favourites.

Thought I had a copy stashed away, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone have a copy laying around somewhere?

I can't find Target Range at the specified location, or anywhere else for that matter. Has it been updated/incorporated into a more recent OXZ? Looks like Caracal's website has been down for 3 years or so.. his OXPs were never hosted anywhere else, to the best of my knowledge, so unless you can rea...

Maesin is a TL1 Anarchy, but is fully connected to the galaxy's email system; which I've just realized could be ideal conditions to add an Oolitish variation of a real-world annoyance, which I suspect this addon has the infrastructure to build, if you want to include it: some version of Nigerian Pr...

I've had a reply to my query, and it turns out he still has the original artwork. He's re-posted the image of the Cobby, and it can be seen here: https://jonathanbluestone.deviantart.com/art/Acornsoft-ELITE-Cobra-MK-III-1984-732474885 (note that it's 4780 x 4056 in size, and you may need to click on...

The quickest explanation I can give is to point to my username, which isn't just a nom-de-net, but is a way of life. I'm actually glad to hear that, because there's a chance (I haven't carefully perused that long list yet, though I noticed that there are several I've never heard of) that there may ...

I plan on doing 2 for each race, male and female with a few more humans and rats tossed in.

They look excellent!
