Oolite Bulletins

Okay, as I said in another thread, I am starting over from scratch. I hope to get a Python soon, but before that happens, I need to get some trading done. So, in hopes of getting some credits, I ventured into an anarchy. Without enough fuel to leave. First, I ran into a Fer-de-Lance. All I had was m...

I'm calling her the Defiant , named after the monster they called a starship in DS9. <offtopic>Not really a monster. Yes it has tough weapons, but is little more than a scout ship in size. See here .</offtopic> <offtopic>Guess I should have been more specific, I meant "Monster" as in weap...

Adding some life outside of the main space lane: - Deep space pirates - Total Patrol - Sun skimmers Nice OXPs... they solve a few problems with game immersion I've had for a while, much like the ship names. :) Speaking of ship names, I'm working on getting one for my brand new Cobra MkIII. So far, ...

Crazy me, I forgot BGS. Well, now it's installed. :) Random Ship Names is a good recent one you might have missed, as is Escort Formations . Random Ship Names is pretty cool, thanks for sharing that. I always thought it odd that only the player gets a custom ship name, now it's fixed. :) I think I'm...

Because of a few bugs in Oolite on Linux, I am begrudgingly moving my gaming from Ubuntu to Windows. So, I thought I might as well start clean, with the exception of my kill count. So, if I'm starting clean, I thought I'd ask if anyone recommends any OXPs. Anybody want me to try out their OXPs, or a...

In the last version of the OXP, I included the Koneko Kobra, the Koneko Kobra Mk2, the Takina Class, the Massasauga, the Kestros Mk4, and the Genesis KI-Blue. In this version, I'm adding the Koneko Kobra Clipper, the Takina Class CX-1, three new Koneko Kobra paint job variants (also, by the way, the...

I'm Commander Ryan Hoots, and I am an Oolite addict. It may have something to do with the fact that Oolite is the best open source game ever.

A Cobra Mk3 with a little bit of a problem... http://i43.servimg.com/u/f43/16/73/49/25/oolite79.png This is why I hate hardheads... even though I wanted that pirate dead, I still felt bad about unleashing one of those on him. I mean, the guy's almost dead, he only just recovered from a plasma leak a...

Okay, now that ship is impressive... I'm going to have to take one out for a spin sometime...

First off, welcome to the boards. :) The icon never appears? Strange. Are you using the standard HUD? A custom one might not include it, although most I know of do. Are you sure the fuel scoops are installed? If none of the above is relevant, try checking the latest.log file, located in ~/.Oolite/Lo...

Nice to see you Ryan.... :) I've been busy recently, but I should be back for at least a little while. I still expect to release my OXPs in progress. A few of them are almost good enough already (they're good enough for my personal use). While "gone", I've made some improvements to Taylor...

http://i43.servimg.com/u/f43/16/73/49/25/oolite76.png Maybe next time. :cry: Context: I'm in an Anarchy, gained about ten kills in this system, almost at the station, one guy on the radar. I have heavy damage already. I think to myself, "Oh, just another Mamba. Easy kill, even without STE.&quo...

I like that ship Ryan. Is the colouring inspired by the Thargoids? Yes, it's made to look bug-like. I might even add a chance that it will show up as a Thargoid on the radar. The lasers are green, too. Here are the specs: Cargo: 10 tons (extension to 25 tons available) Energy: 564 Speed: .45 LM Mis...

matter of opinion. my ships like sht w/out them.

I think your ships look amazing even without shaders. Of course, because my machine can't run them, I have no point of comparison.
