Oolite Bulletins

I don't know the location of Eric Walsh, but I'm looking forward to seeing an update on this. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get to Erehwon and I've still got that camera somewhere in a dark corner of the hold. I've a couple of unvisited systems in G1 and some pirates to squash before playing...

Dodgy ... but tasty! Sooooo tasty!

The graveyard was in fact a bit of a playground for grand ideas, like how many asteroid-monuments-derelicts... can we really get in a close proximity before the game engine shrivels up and dies :twisted: And how many? I envisaged it as being somewhat like the "Gallery" OXP with the hundre...

I just noticed - the "Station self-destruction codes" OXP appears as a piece of "Equipment" when I look at the list of OXPs that I might wish to remove , but in the list of OXPs to add , it's classified as a Weapon. This one is particularly noticeable because the "Weapon&quo...

While the tradition is to name Ooniverse ships after various snakes of reality, myth and legend, maybe the shipyards should be turning out a model of the Darwin Class spaceship.
18 pages of Darwin Awards, and many of them I recognise "been there, pressed that Spacebar".

I didn't touch the ' graveyard since ages, so the sorting out was mainly (or completely) by our friend Sel (I think....)

Ah, that explains why the OXP isn't available in the game, but is still in the Wiki,

...I've tried the misjump from Biorle to Usle... See the previous page of this thread and try to jump from Usle to Biorle. The oxp might be a bit broken. For reasons that are not at all clear, it seems that I had Tionisla Reporter installed twice. Or that for some reason I had to uninstall it twice...

I'm getting bored with hunting for this damned planet.

4 hours screen time (one Capt America movie and a replay of Fish Called Wanda) and eventually a Cobra comes along going to Usle. And I fluff the mis-jump.

Looks a bit like flashers. Jumping out from behind an asteroid, waving their dangly bits at you. I thought I'd left that behind on Clapham Common. They do look a bit like the blobs of plasma in the exhaust of both Oolite vessels and ... there's a name floating around in the back of my mind. https:/...

I'm still struggling to complete this mission. On Oolite 1.82 I've tried the misjump from Biorle to Usle about 20 times, to be met by Thargoids and no station every time. I'm trying the lurk-and-wormhole-follow approach today - 3 hours of real world time in and I've still not seen a wormhole in the ...

I think this OXP is a little broken - it's old and the author has gone walkabout. I suspect breakage, though I've picked up several hints from reading this thread which I'm going to try. Well, the routing got me the "overheard conversation". But with my Jameson now starving to death in hi...

and there could be ship improvements available. e.g. "auto-loaders", which could speed things up. It would increase the difference between ship types. (Have I got the correct attribution there?) It's been a while since I read any of CJ Cherryh's "space operas", but I've long had...

No, it's a new feature in 1.84

Since I'ev been away from home for most of the last several weeks, I've not done the upgrade yet.

But I've met people who strongly prefer to play with friends or relatives, like you do. Actually, the closest I've ever come to playing an online game was networked Quake (or was it Doom?) a decade or so ago. I never bothered trying to get it going again after I got broadband. (Ha ha - bloody broad...
