Oolite Bulletins

Cholmondely, How about modifying this so that it recites aloud a long list of commanders who departed leaving work behind them which does not have a license? That might actually be worth doing, so long as we can do it tastefully, i.e. in a way that warns the future rather than chides the past. About...

Interstellar Tweaks version 6.81 is now available. That version is identical to 6.8 except that I've ensured now that there are no packaging problems. [Edited.] Changes between 6.6 and 6.8 include: - adjustments to the liklihoods of various scenarios; - optimisations; - bug fixes (and some of the fi...

cbr,

I like the brown ship!

As to the Thargoids, they seems like a further step along from my already slightly psychedelic 'Terroriser Frigate (Anti-Poet variant)' - from my 'Extra Thargoids' OXP!

Cholmondely, You could always repeat the following procedure until you see a rebel Thargoid - although, admittedly, it will take a while (and indeed the chances will be affected by where one is and where one is witchspacing too). EDIT: and when I say 'a while', I mean: ages , i.e. many repetitions. ...

> "Rebel" refers to rebel Oresrians? No. Or at least the following is the case. InsterstellarTweaks creates some ships each of which appears on the HUD as 'Thargoid Warship (rebel)'. Each such ship: is a Thargoid ship (at least in its main shiply properties); has a . . distinctive paint-jo...

I cannot! Yet, I can impart the following. Due to a - er . . - bug fix, so-called 'Thargoid rebels' should be slightly more visible in this release - except, ah, no, wrong OXP. Rather: those rebels are provided - and should be more visible in a recent version of - my InterstellarTweaks OXP (even tho...

> What is new in version 6.69? I am away at the moment but, from what I remember, what is new in this and indeed in other recent versions of the OXP is the following. I have cleaned up the code. So doing has resulted in a few optimisations and also the removal of a few bugs (of the programming rathe...

'I have an unofficial tweaked version that makes the electronic thumb only show up in the equipment cycle when in interstellar space.' Ah, you mean in the primablility list. Yes, that seems a good idea. Also, I think that the frequency of the ships approaching to help the fuelless, interstellar comm...

> The benefit of the electronic thumb, even in the current game, is that it brings the help to you, wherever you might have ended up, at the time you want it. No waiting around.

But it might bring more than help, too . .

Hello, Josef!

Is what a primeable piece of equipment?

Dear Nite Owl

Thank you for doing that work. I was hoping that the work would be done by the maintainer of the OXP. Note also that if a user does this work then she will have to unpack and then repack the OXP. I think that instead I will remove the OXP from my PC.

I find that a (any) Thargoid that has missile_role = "EQ_BUGGLYMISSILE"; in its shipdata still launches tharglets sometimes. EQ_BUGGLYMISSILE is a custom missile of mine and, more to the point, not EQ_THARGON . I think that the right type of object is launched sometimes . Why do the thargl...

I have not read this long-ish thread, but it seems fair to say: this OXP spams the log. For: 19:50:28.885 [shieldequalizercapacitors]: Fer-de-Lance 3G (Delux-o-Tank variant): NJ Tank: shields: 0.2/6.3, transferring 1 unit 19:50:29.386 [shieldequalizercapacitors]: Fer-de-Lance 3G (Delux-o-Tank varian...

Just now I have discovered this thread. Its discussion of Oolite via locutions derived from Kant and Kierkegaard is . . what? Frightening? Perhaps though I need only reach the right stage on life's way, or perhaps, I don't know, get my transcendental unity of apperception into good order.

Ah. I must have got confused. Thanks for the clarification.
