Oolite Bulletins

Bringing this here as requested! To recreate the issue, you will an older version of an OXP: Lets use Galactic Registry, as it has no dependancies. Previous version here: GalCopGalacticRegistry_5.9.oxz I'm going to simulate what OoliteStarter is doing here (because otherwise I'd have to have a legit...

I also think Josh suffered from perfectionism, leading him to write then scrap and rewrite then scrape multiple versions of the codebase over time.

Hexagons...hmmm...

Covering a spherical surface in hexagons makes me think. Is it possible? Why do footballs have a mix of heagons and pentagons? I suspect it’s something to do with being able to form a sphere with them. If you just used hexagons you’d either end up deforming some of the hexagons or not being able to...

But what is the ship?

It's the underside of a DTT Galaxy Liner

Improvement? Yes, but i think when using more of the grey they 'tie in' better as a set but that also based only on the screenshots.

But what if we do.... this: Bam!

How about "Revolutionary Hauliers"?

Parades !

Along the main space lane, or around the planet, do you think?

Next version is in the oven. One thing I’m adding is an option to disable the custom Vipers, allowing standard GalCop Vipers to spawn in as they would in any other system. I’ve heard some people feel that replacing GalCop Vipers with ships aligned with the system government would be counter to what ...

Debated putting this in the Dictators thread, but given it relates to the AstroFarms anyway, I thought I'd put it here. So, the existing AstroFactories have freighters and tankers that are moving goods to the main station. But now that I've created the AstroFarms, it seemed appropriate to have a spa...

Hmm... interesting thought. But rather than the grey, what about something like this:

Improvement?

Would love to be there... but you're holding this shindig on the opposite side of the planet from where I live.
If you can arrange for it to happen in Australia, that would work much better for me...

I’m hoping someone can bring a tablet so I can attend over Zoom or something.

And here's some working custom systems: Lave!
With thanks for Cholmondely for compiling the actual place names:

OK, here's (hopefully) the final version of this: PlanetFall2.oxz - v2.5 The guts of the mod. PlanetFall_Resources.oxz - v1.0 All the images and textures. FeudalPlanetFall.oxz - v1.1 Update for Feudal Systems (there's no change in this one, just putting it here for ease of access). This version fixe...

Might this work? Other than the extraneous "{" at the start, I think it would. The only issue I see is how it integrates with something like Contextual Jukebox, which is using Library Music. I have a feeling you might end up with two tracks playing at the same time. Here's something I pre...
