Oolite Bulletins

It's why submarines have giant passive sonar arrays that cost hundreds of millions, instead of pinging with active sonar every few seconds like they did on Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea . It's why "5th gen" aircrafts like the F-35 leave their radars off and use passive IR to track targe...

Just musing about this one. Would being targeted really be ascertainable by another ship? And if it were, surely somebody on Ceesxe or wherever would have come up with an equipment add-on preventing such ascertainment? WOOT-Woffler: A snip at 10,000₢, available at TL13 And then someone else on Ascen...

Aaaah! But are they really computers? https://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/f/f9/Computers_YAH_B_16.png I still have an original genuine A1000 out in my shed, in its original box. (At least, I assume it's still there.) I've only ever paid for software twice in my life. The first time was for the Ami...

You chaps are having this discussion at c. 3am on your side of the planet?

Welcome to the merry throng!

OK. Cage Fight OXP coming soon eventually (maybe) ...

Ahem! did this ever see the light of day?

Now if in Oolite we have expansions grouped by galaxy and we know there is only one way to get around we could automatically download and install the next galaxy while the player is in this one. So, after all these years, someone finally thought of an advantage that could be given by the existence ...

I suppose a javascript could compare PS.energy with PS.target.energy and issue an appropriate warning.

But is that really all that is involved? So all that guff on the PitViper wiki page about sharpness and hardened hull is complete and utter baloney?

... I would like to prevent this for my "company freighters" OXP I'm working on.

Fritz (if you ever see this!)...

did you ever get anywhere with this? It could be a vital component of a Corporate Systems OXP...

Galactic OXPs The argument against the first is that of too many flavours - and - not everybody will use OS (us AppleMacists, for example). I'm sorry but I do not understand why AppleMacists would not use it. Is there someone who could describe the issue? In a nutshell, can't get it to start Oolite.

Delete your post! Quick!

Do you have any idea at all as to what you are letting yourself in for? the Chalice of Doom?

I think you may have quoted the wrong thing to link to your reply. It was my reply which went wrong. The quote was just fine. I was trying to nobble another of your points, one about PlanetFall - that players/Lave Academy students would not land on Lave. It all went a tad pear-shaped, I regret... T...

Sometimes when I'm in a bit of a dogfight and there's some Mamba or Sabre that's wiggling around to much to shoot, I just push the throttle up to the max and ram them - often resulting in their destruction. Looking for information for the Oolite Tactics wiki page! * Are there any tactical points of...

Hmmm. I am not sure what I am thinking. The level of the question exceeds my knowledge. While I know we have expansion, an expansions manager and meanwhile flavours to install expansions in flocks I am unsure what combination of them is meaningful. You might as well ask me how to write letters, how...
