Oolite Bulletins

Hi Cholmondely, I think you installed BackGroundSet 1.10.9 first, which contain the spiderweb tunnel effect, then somehow updated to BGS 2.5.1 where it looks honeycomb-like. For a downgrade you must remove BGS in the expansion pack manager, then the blue color over the line of the old one will chang...

Hi all! What an interesting discussion above. :) Thank you for all ideas and coding, it is good to see that the community is doing well even I pop up here rarely. I will always be happy with any changes you decide together, so go ahead! About rebalance my opinion is the same than dybal said. The ver...

Welcome Redeyemist to the Oolite community and "the friendliest board this side of Riedquat"! If you put an OXZ file into your AddOns folder then just start the game and it will work. For a proof download the Start Advice which display this advice screen right after you start a new game. B...

'solves' the speed issues (inherent in the standard Oolite) I think a good solution could be an automatic time manipulation in the boring situations. The TAF is not available in end-user builds so i am thinking on an other solution, which basically multiply the maxspeed and turn rates of all moving...

the pirates could do the same. If they don't have a tugship then all they'd need is one of then to have fuel scoops, refuel the player ship, ransom, eject or enslave the pilot. Even if they couldn't do that, they could fully destroy the ship and scoop the alloys. There is a big risk to attempt thes...

Alternatively use the ship as a big escape capsule: an emergency shutdown procedure ejects the instable fuel to prevent explosion, leaving the ship without energy but technically immune to further hits. When attackers see that the ship is disabled then just steal cargo and left it alone. Later a tug...

An energy-consuming speed boost of ships which missing Injectors is a good idea imho. To make it unusable in attack (so only for run) it can consume frontal shields too and lock steering. I can imagine auto turn on in the red speed area (top 20%). This way new Commanders can survive pirate attacks (...

Welcome Rekrul in the Ooniverse! I think you should check these: HUDSelector You can test and change your HUD during flight between all installed and compatible ones. In addition this OXP allow you to change the non linear and ultra zoom state of your scanner by pressing mode key (b) when HUD Select...

Astonishing difference! Thank you very much! Must be in the manager.

How about adding auto eject when run out of fuel, instead of just explode? Like this: if( player.ship.abandonShip() ) { player.consoleMessage("Out of fuel, auto eject!", 10); } else { player.consoleMessage("Out of fuel, bye bye...", 10); player.ship.explode(); } Some more message...

My guess is this file . After unzip you can edit the shipdata.plist which is a text file. Below the "griff_normalmapped_viper-interceptor-player" label set max_cargo, max_flight_speed as you wish. All entries are described here . Note this is not working alone, you must install "Griff...

should this be version 1.01?

No, it's intentional.

unaffected by any laser I have (yes, even RimmerAce one) The only laser which is effective against these ships: OMGLaser My leaser hists does not affects some enemies. I saw this as a side effect of HardShips OXP. If you use it then try uninstall this package and see if it still happen or not. Yes,...

There is a Reverse Y Control OXP which maybe good for you, try it. Note you need the variant with "Y" in the name, the normal Reverse Control OXP doesn't reverse the vertical axis.
