Oolite Bulletins

The last one looks a bit Commodore 64 to me.

. . . or simply took too many

Hi there. You can't actually land on the planets, and so that is why you crashed into it :oops: You have to dock at a space station found near the planets. There is an introductory tutorial here: - http://oolite.aegidian.org/tutorial/ and also, tonnes of useful info here: - http://wiki.alioth.net/in...

How about an idea incorporating a trade embargo, or sanctions, against a specific system(s)? It could work either way: a) You are a lone trader trying to break the trade ban for massive profits, b) You are employed by the Navy to prevent such low-life scum as above from breaking the embargo. Not sur...

Yay - more playing testing to be done!

Cheers for the heads.
I'm really glad that someone is investigating this bug to further improve Oolite

I've run Oolite on my PowerBook which has a widescreen monitor, and everything looks fine. The planets are round, just like they are on my non-widescreen monitor. I think that this should be taken care of my the graphics card and the OS, and so distortion should not occur. I don't know if this is th...

ANYTHING by Arthur C Clarke is highly recommended.

(OK, I haven't read ALL of them, but what I have read has always been superb)

Got this while making that post!

Also - would it be possible for OXP writers to call the readme: -
'my_great_oxp.txt' for example?

I like to keep all my readme's in a single folder, and it's a pain renaming all the ones called readme.txt.

Thanks . . .

How about one with a picture of George Lucas, and the phrase: -
"If you see this man, shoot first!"

Has the mighty Sung given his blessing for this? I seem to remember he was rather reluctant to let the official Oolite community use the textures when he departed. Actually, yes, he did so personally. I am hosting his textures now :D Cool! I've been using those textures in a bodged together OXP of ...

Beautiful

Don't mistake capitalism and trade; even communists understand the need to create, and trade their production surpluses for otherwise unavailable commodities... Yeah - I suppose the guys at the top still need their luxuries. The serfs can make do with potatoes and rice ;-) Communism - great idea, b...

I just thought of something... Shouldn't the YAH material be banned on communist systems, along with the Black Monks? Now that's a nice idea! Although - would the Commies also be happy about us capitalist scum coming in to corrupt the place with the evils of free-market trading? Still, I do like yo...
