Re: YouTube playthroughs

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is a modern, spiritual successor to WC Privateer. It runs a modern game engine (modified OGRE), yet keeps a rather simplified, easy to grasp interface, not too far over Privateer. And like Privateer, you're stuck with one player alias. (forced to play as Juno Markev, a spicy pepp...

Re: YouTube playthroughs

Arqubus is saying that this charm does not exist for new players who never encountered Elite. They compare Oolite with E:D and all the other modern games, and Oolite loses out, despite being free. The vanilla game is not a modern game and does not compare. I would probably nuance my argument here, ...

Re: Scripters cove

Haha. Ever change a line of code and then forget what and where you changed it? Maddening. I've been using that same memory-word since GWBasic. It's immature but at least I never miss it. I highly recommend! Well as long as we're going back to high school, a cargo contract for ya. "Butts 100TC...

Re: [RELEASE] A small collection of new and refreshed stuff

Thank you! Downloaded. I hope to try out the missile spoof at some stage, but have little experience with either missiles or non-Vanilla ships! Will you be mentioning these on our wiki? I may, if I manage to remember my wiki password. Yeah, it's been that long. I'd like to edit your Pteradyne Techn...

Re: Perfectly balanced economics?

The only career type that seems categorically neglected is that of the fugitive pirate. Come on, you're telling me there is no money in it trying to cutthroat your way to the top to become the next Blackbeard? "Why not come a-piratin' cuz a pirate is free You are a pirate!" There's money ...

/// Boomstick missile, by Wyvern ///

As if there isn't enough ordinance to choose from!
The Boomstick is a nippy, accurate dogfighting missile developed alongside, and a great match for, the Raptor series fighters.

Re: Perfectly balanced economics?

Galcop is rather stingy when it comes to bounty payouts as well. This would naturally be a concomitant of the current state of collapse of Galcop. Reading through the contract details, the crimes your mark are accused of get pretty ridiculous. This might also be a result of the state of collapse - ...

Re: Perfectly balanced economics?

Also doesn't Random Hits make bounties both more lucrative and more dangerous? There have got to be others too. [EDIT]: you're right that being a hunter/fighter is less lucrative though, I'm stacked with a few merc-rewarding OXPs and still can't match a trader's income even in a boring CobraMk3 Yea...

Re: Perfectly balanced economics?

A perfect economy? If you wanna get realistic about it, there's no such beastie. Incidentally since you were the one who said there's no perfect economy, may I ask what you personally find to be imperfect about your setup? Cholmondely's recommended setup did soften some of my irritations, but then ...
