...but it won't be any easier to get one for your ship in-game, as that logic is still untouched!

[UPDATE RELEASE] - Thargoid Witchspace Drive 0.9.5.2 2024 MOD
In my attempts to "clean up" Thargoid Witchspace Drive, I ended up removing a lot of the original code and stubbed in much simpler logic. This also means changed appearance and behavior...hopefully for the better! Your ship won't be locked going straight forward while it is running anymore...

Re: Oolite Website Domain & Fixing the Expansions Manager
I can confirm this. The usage numbers of OoliteStarter have dropped considerably, and so have the Oolite download numbers. Something must have changed on the website I guess. And here I can see that something changed. There was a sentence and a link to OoliteStarter with all the offered releases. N...

Re: Extra Rock Hermits
As long as there's variation!
Beats the Astro-gulags in Commies! systems...all the same and replacing 90+% of what would otherwise be rock hermits.

Re: Extra Rock Hermits
These extra-special looking Rock Hermits seem like they'd be a good fit in Industrial systems, perhaps even in disregard of government type...although who'd want to build one in an Anarchy?

Re: Mining
There seems so much wrong with NPC behavior now that I don't even know where to begin. Freighters that appear FAR away from the witchpoint beacon/planet/sun, freighters don't seem to want to head to planet/station after arriving, escorts often don't even bother trying to fly formation, almost nothin...

Re: Long Range Acanner/Thargoid Witchspace Drive compatibility
I had over 3000 kills before I saw the Thargoid cores dropped sometimes. I'm also still working on more Thargoid Witchspace Drive changes, as its code is complex possibly due to workaround methods of doing things when it was made back in 2012. The changes will be overwhelmingly cosmetic, as I don't ...

Re: External Docking
We're not flying through a tunnel as with interior docking. Unfortunately, Oolite only supports the one type of docking, always assuming you are flying through a tunnel. And I can't get around that, as there is no other way to dock the player. Not to directly contradict your point, but graphically ...

Re: External Docking
Some stations have external lights that light up the docking port's entry route...so how about a "force-field" tunnel from a ship into the station's docking bay that's only a "hologram" as far as collisions are concerned?

The rotating hexagon sometimes disappeared as I neared the dock.

Re: External Docking
Proximity-checking but to make a ship look like it's docked it needs to be so close it risks math-rounding error collisions.

Re: Corporate Systems Flavour OXP
Try it again sometime with a bulky Boa 2, where the camera angle doesn't even line up with the middle of the ship (it's closer to the top but at least centered left-and-right).
We don't need to be making Oolite any harder on something as simple as docking.

Re: Corporate Systems Flavour OXP
If the dock is intended to be used by freighters it should be a bit wider. The docking tunnel is the same size as almost all stations have. It's easier and safer to dock a Boa 2 sideways in "standard" docking tunnels, especially if they're spinning...fortunately Nuit's is not! Why a movin...

Re: Corporate Systems Flavour OXP
I'm using this page for reference: https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Nuit_Space_Station_OXP The docking port on Nuit is placed very close to a moving wall which causes instant death if your ship touches it. It can be seen relatively well here: https://wiki.alioth.net/img_auth.php/thumb/d/d5/Nuithang...

Re: Corporate Systems Flavour OXP
Whether Oolite ever makes externally docked ships possible is not a deal-breaker for me.
I already include Nuit in my station spawn-set for variety.
The other bugs make Nuit barely playable for me, so I seldom dock at one.
