Oolite Bulletins

me playing on Adder. my recomendation is in close range with numerous enemies try fist to destroy most weak(cobras, morrays, kraits), leaving FerdeLance, AspMark last of all. That's generally a good tactic at any time. The smaller/weaker ships can do you just as much harm as the big ones, but are a...

No, just sort of a random thing that stuck. I'm rather younger than that guess would make me.

Fair enough.. despite what Cody said above, we don't discriminate here..

So.. "Sails"? A sailor of some type, at least?

Also, try holding down left-shift when starting the game - this clears the cache and may help.

Uninstalling any OXP/OXZ should automatically force a cache rebuild.. manually forcing one is unlikely to help.

So, if you wonder whats up with the n00b posting in the OXP board, that would be me. G'day Sailsman63, and welcome aboard! We like noobs here, as you're probably well aware. And OXP ideas are always welcome. Wild-arsed-guess says 63 is the year of your birth? (lots of us old farts here.. I hail fro...

Most of the used voice samples in BGS are from milinks Customsounds.oxp from 2006. If I recall it right milinks recorded his wife instead of using speech synthesis.

Interesting.. the voice always reminded me of Majel Barrett, to be honest.

But the FCC's chairman Ajit Pai has suggested the move will foster innovation and encourage ISPs to invest in faster connections for people living in rural areas. Awesome! With thinking like that, it should be a snap to convince him I can sell him the Sydney Harbour Bridge at a bargain-basement pri...

could be right... odd though as Manjaro usually seems to be fairly good with stuff like that. For some complicated reasons (including cross-platform compatibility), Oolite uses some very specific versions of certain libraries, and one or two are customised specifically for Oolite. Distros generally...

I was trading, then an idea came into my mind. Why you can make money only in space? I mean, in Drew's Oolite Saga, people do different jobs. Maybe someone can make a OXP for this? Like Life in Frontier, or something? So, will this happen,or not? Generally speaking, the first step in any new OXP is...

Stumbled on https://haveibeenpwned.com and thought to share it with our community.

Many thanks for this, Getafix!

Nice!

A good size, too.

Nice.. I almost hate to point out that while there are green stars (Sol is almost one - it's actually yellow-green), due to the broad spectrum of visible light emitted by stars, and the way our eyes work, we'll never actually see green stars. (Though occasionally, circumstances can occur which creat...

Damn.. two full pages added since I last dropped into this thread..

Magnificent work, gentlemen! Kudos!

rather it seems to have been the case that the lane wasn't matching the expected distance to find the station. ... a longer lane needn't be a major problem as the game expects that to be a variable; however, a modified planet to station distance is something it expects to exists as a known constant...

I think I might know how to solve the one obvious issue that remains with the recaled game: namely, a rarity of inbound, docking ships. It's probably going to be at the cost of the modified station to planet distance though. A shame but hardly a major loss. So you think it may be due to something o...

Nice shots! Dogfighting in an asteroid field.. who doesn't love that?
