Oolite Bulletins

Only technical difference I see is on line 1671, you have == where I used ===. Since it comparing the target of a police ship to the player ship, I don't think it matters here.

Thanks! Changes from 1.1 to 1.2: - Manifest version 1.1.0 -> 1.2.0 - Script.js added new Library configuration options "preserve_derelicts" and "preserve_asteroids" (default false) - Script.js reduces radius in which ships are spawned from 10e3 to 8e3 - Script.js replaces ! isVis...

I am not sure. Observation: I jumped into the system where the main station was destroyed. It has a constore buoy, but no constore. No other stations either. In the log, I see: 19:32:24.135 [stat] GlobalLog: Main station removed That line is somewhat earlier than the line where the constore buoy spa...

Seems like a good ship for mining and cargo scooping...

I stand corrected. We've found two so far, apparently? 2I/Borisov being the other. Still, these aren't replenishing asteroids, they are temporary visitors. Look at this animation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2I/Borisov#/media/File:A_comparison_of_two_interstellar_objects_passing_through_our_solar_...

Amusing ... but not all feudal systems are populated by English colonials. Also I think it's best to keep a common prefix (Broadcast Comms) for OXPs in the same "family."

Apropos of interstellar asteroids, https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/did-a-meteor-from-another-star-strike-earth-in-2014/ and https://www.centauri-dreams.org/2020/04/27/identifying-asteroids-from-other-stars/ (and comment threads) and rebuttal https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.04534. Conclusion? U...

In Oolite, we have a populated galaxy with established systems. Asteroids presumably were formed eons ago when the systems themselves coalesced. How many exist? How many have already been mined of all valuable resources by the start date of the game? How many remain? At least 500 systems have been c...

I've caught up on this thread and read part of the older thread from 2012 about personal space stations. It seems to me that it is imperative that the hermitage be able to generate negative cashflow (lose money). The hermitage should be a resource management challenge, but not a "busy work"...

One thought on naming. These Digebitian texts are a replacement / overwrite, effectively an alternative to the standard texts used by Broadcast Comms, not an expansion. However, they are only replacing the text, not the full functionality of BCC, which means this replacement OXP requires the user to...

Good thinking. Here are the old versions attached to the wiki: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Special:ListFiles?limit=50&ilsearch=SpaceCrowds&user=&ilshowall=1 ... unfortunately, they all seem to point to the same link, and retrieve the latest version. phkb, perhaps you have a copy of ...

I've experienced the same thing, being attacked by police who are engaged in combat with someone else while I was minding my own business nearby (with clean legal status). I did a similar investigation to what dybal outlined, but I never found the root cause for why the police were targeting me. It'...

I added the missing quotation mark to the wiki reference.

Thanks. Updated wiki page accordingly.
