Re: Terminological Exactitude: Hyperspace, Witchspace & Interstellar Space
Just my five kopecks to discussion :-) In real reality we have only one type of space. Difference between intersolar and intrasolar space is only matter of balance between pressure of solar wind and galactic magnetic field. Inside astrosphere (heliosphere in particular case of our Sun) we have hyper...

Re: SW Economy
Thank you, Milo! It is very specific case indeed. Main station has extremely high rate of energy restore so it is practically impossible to destroy it using vanilla lasers/missiles. But space accidents like asteroid impact or Nova explosion can destroy main station. Technically it is easy to add che...

Re: SW Economy
@Cholmondely Thank you for kind reply, sir! I need some time to refresh my memories. Too long period not playing Oolite :( There is issue with PlanetLand - it contains graphics from another authors without clear permissions. So I feel it may be not acceptable to give link in this forum. Private mess...

Re: The All-in-One Guide to OXZ Packaging and Distribution
Well. DarkRay OXZ for example. Unzipping (extracting) this folder will create new folder DarkRay (usual folder without any extensions). It contains three files and one folder: info.plist manifest.plist readme.txt Textures Go into DarkRay folder and select all these items, not DarkRay folder per se! ...

Re: The All-in-One Guide to OXZ Packaging and Distribution
Go INTO unzipped OXZ folder, select ALL content of unzipped OXZ folder and zip ONLY this selected content, NOT root folder! After zipping relocate archive from root folder, rename it and change extension from .zip to .oxz

Re: SW Economy
Is SW Economy compatible with Smugglers? Sorry for delay. I have no enough knowledge to answer you question. Seems it is necessary to adopt additional items to Smugglers as described in Smugglers page, but I hope SW Economy will not break game if you have Smugglers. I think Smugglers will just igno...

Re: SW Economy
Medicines would possibly be the one major export of Mainly agricultural/Mainly industrial economies! They have both the agriculture and the industry to produce complex medicines (if they have the requisite TL). Sounds reasonable. It will explain success of systems with balanced economy. Not having ...

Re: 60 years ago - Yuri Gagarin's flight
I was too young in this April day 60 years ago to have personal memories - just six and half month old.
Space was a part of fun in my life later.
And now I hope to live till first man on Mars.

60 years ago - Yuri Gagarin's flight
I have personal habit to celebrate Yuri's flight at April 11, not 12.
In April 11 he wasn't world hero - just unknown Russian young military pilot selected for dangerous mission.

Re: Perseverance has landed!
Hi-res pictures available for free public access are TIFF, not RAW, so me think some color adjustment was done in any case during conversion of original RAW images. If you are interesting in REAL color of martian landscapes and sky, there is famous high-res panorama with parts of rover in field of v...

Re: Government Types (anarchy/corporate state etc)
I think you are confusing country name and political system. The label on the NK seat makes no claim about the political system at all, it is simply its name. Yes, but it's the name they've chosen, and it's a name that makes a claim … if I call myself "tall Bob", and I turn out to be 5'3&...

Re: Smallest planet
In first approximation surface gravity is in linear proportion with planet radius. (M ~ R^3, g ~ M * R^-2, -> g ~ R). So 2820/6378 = 0.442 g. In reality large planets tended to be more compressed, having more density and more mass. Mars for example has 3397 km radius (3397/6378 = 0.5325 R♁), but due...

Re: Smallest planet
This question needs some math. There is planet_distance parameter (distance from WP to planet centre) and station_vector parameter (station position relative to planet) in planetinfo.plist. So you need to calculate WP-station side of triangle. Top five systems sorted from longest planet_distance: Aa...
