Oolite Bulletins

Have you actually tried landing with PF2 yet? To be fair, no I haven't. But if it's that difficult then why not do it in a politically less safe system, where station to planet traffic is (with the odd dramatic exception) much the same? You can also massively increase the price of the weapons since...

The ability to buy "banned" weapons I prefer the term 'restricted' myslef :lol: This could be done at one of those peculiar planetary landing sites located at rubbish dumps, through a local black market. Story wise that's quite nice, unfiortunately it would override the purpose of this ox...

thoughts and comments welcome

The viper seems to suit the krait... thingies, nice work.

Can't help thinking that upscaling the transport itself would have made a really nice dredger mode, esp. with that 'bridge' at the back.

Oy!

And some of these also affect the demand in Redspear's Demand Based Economy, which I have yet to get my head around.

Very minor influence and more on supply IIRC although I've got new ideas for that.

Can I presume that nothing was ever done about this? With regards disembodied's specific example, I don't think anything ever was. Furs is an odd category in that it's very specific compared to almost any other. The precious minerals are quite sopecific of course but otherwise there's liquor/wines ...

Whatever the motivation Right, they're oxps: if you don't like it then don't install it. The tendency to base oxps on other oxps however (or especially to try to accommodate all oxps where possible) can make things increasingly problematic from a design standpoint. Find the gameplay then shuffle it...

Six!... million credit damage

makes a lot of sense to me Not disagreeing, just using your quote to make a point... Making sense is cool but too often the main consideration by my estimation. Find the gameplay then shuffle it around to make sense. So I recently said that vipers in corporate states having livery and others not ma...

In fact, you could argue that it might even be better if the stations weren't in the game All you've said there makes sense I think and to me at least it highlights a broader design issue with oolite: the main station. In short it's designed to have everything you might need partly as a legacy of i...

Oh wow that's an upgrade and a half.

here's an update

Not got it yet but you've set pretty high standards before so I'm excited

I was just reminiscing with Cody/EV about all the super stuff you have done over the years.

Please say hello from me and wish him well.

But if the mission is only done well after one has done the Constrictor mission does that not change things? One may already have moved on from the original Cobra to a horrendously-expensive souped-up OXP ship ( FdL Lightspeeder anyone?), and non-Thargoid encounters are already a doddle, et cetera ...

Context: I'm writing some missions for this OXP. ... Let me know your thoughts. Context: I don't know this OXP very well. The constrictor is by design a super-ship and the oolite version especially so. I believe it's true that the original had a speed similar to the oolite cobra mk III wheras the o...

Not new though is it, despite the genus name.

This is newer (and cool) but, well, nevermind.

I disavow Redspear's fighting words, nothing to do with me

???... Er... OK...
