Oolite Bulletins

Of course, dear sir. Fire at will.

Cheers,

Drew.

ps. Will would appreciate it if you don't actually hit him.

...yes, I can hardly believe it either.

However, I intend to give the occasion the honour it deserves by returning to these hallowed halls and marking it with a short novella.

And in all likelihood, 'she' will be back.

Write on, Commanders,

Drew.

We've known each other for ten years online, but this was the first time all three of us have been in the same place. Commanders Daddyhoggy, Drew and Selezen reporting for duty, class of 1984. Right on! https://scontent-cdg2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/12049561_10153050372352447_43846314044...

I would agree with Selezen though. It does look awesome. If we could have that game engine, with the participative nature of Oolite and a full time time of crack writers and OXP-ers (or whatever they're called now) - Perfection.

Cheers,

Drew.

I was bored with CQC after two games, but my youngest son Josh (11) is very much into it. The only way to drag him off was to suggest a few rounds of World of Warships.

Cheers,

Drew.

If it had been single player it would have been awesome. If they'd taken the lore seriously, it would have been spectacular. As it is, it's occasionally fun, away from the network-y delays and mmo aspects, though curiously 'soulless' at times.

Cheers,

Drew.

I can stop any time I like. Honest.

That made me chuckle! Thanks for the compliment on the stream by the way, Selezen. Much appreciated. (I'm not single btw...!)

Cheers,

Drew.

Out of curiosity... what's happened to the writers bible?

It underwent a spontaneous existence failure.

Drew has left Elite dangerous. I have great respect for Drew and hope he is successful in his other projects. Ah... I'm still floating about. Downloaded Oolite for the first time in a while last week and had to spend an hour figuring out how it had all changed. This new OXP downloading malarky... I...

I got her included in the NPC database. She's out there... somewhere.

Some surprising absences on the G1 list - no Xeer, no Inera.

Yeah, I was surprised at that. As for the other octants: alas, no Zaquesso, and no Cequququ! Oh those Cequququian shrew steaks - so tasty!

I got a Zaquessoan Evil Juice into the canon though!

Cheers,

Drew.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The audiobook of Elite: Reclamation is almost launched. If you'd like preview teaser...

It's here > http://www.drewwagar.com/progress-repor ... -tomorrow/

Silly voice over, silly sword, silly droid (even for Star Wars). Too much CGI, daft low altitude flight, though nice to see the MF, TFs and XWs again.

This is not the Star Wars I'm looking for and I have a bad feeling about this.

Cheers,

Drew.

SpaceEngine is what I used for all my promo trailers.

It's fab. Particularly the latest version.

Cheers,

Drew.

I expect to be playing 'solo' most of the time. A couple of observations though. 1. Even in multiplayer 'open' mode, when you're out exploring it is effectively 'single player' due to the vastness of the universe. I flew for hours in the latest beta without meeting anyone in the full open mode as I ...
