Oolite Bulletins

fuzzy squares, no nebula or dust clouds...all other graphics work, 3d, ect...it's like the background graphics detail is not there. sprocket I've been having the same issue. Also when I played last night (the first time in a week or two) I had no engine or laser sounds. The voice SFX were there tho...

Yep, those calculations all seem sensible to me phkb.

Same here.

...even though he wasn't a cat.

So what other (if any) Space-sims are you good folks playing?

I have X2 and X3 but don't really bother with them since I discovered Oolite.
I haven't bothered buying Elite: Dangerous as I don't think that my old PC is up to the job.

I've still got the Amiga version of Frontier (no Amiga to play it on though).

I've been flying a Cobra III-XT for a while now. It took me a fair while before I could afford it, so when I did finally get one I felt like I had earned the advantages that has given me.

Thanks Capt.

I know this may seem dumb but I have trouble locating the docking area on spacebars.

Even better. Fuel's not expensive but it'll make a tankful go farther!

It's also a great help to find a wormhole heading in the right direction when you are on a parcel run.
Just bear in mind that the hole only stays open for a limited time.

Nice work Rorschachhamster. I'm loving The Wyrm.

"Short" is the operative word there.

After my bog standard Cobra Mark III, I upgraded to the Cobra Mark III-XT. I did try a Python for a while but as you have discovered, it's tediously slow. I'm considering a Wolf Mark II next but as I currently only have around 280Cr, it may take a while.

How early do you have to deliver a parcel to receive a "deliver early" bonus?

I installed the Aquatics pack last night. Those Box Escorts are fast little blighters.
