This is fantastic.

Post by Tieloo »

It really great that there are people that will bring these old favourites back to life, bringing great pleasure to many, many people. This in particular is one of the best conversions I have ever seen, the people behind it, not only deserve heart felt thanks but also a knighthood plus a million space credits. :D

I love it, I just love it.

Hi Tieloo, and welcome.
It is pretty awesome isn't it, and it can be awesomely pretty as well. Check out the OXP table, and I'd suggest starting with some eye-candy (new ships, planets, accessories etc), then move on to missions etc when you're ready.

Thank you.

I downloaded and installed 3 oxp's making the ships and planets look better and giving more missions, I see you have some very cool modders on board.

The devs have done so much to enhance the game, but what I find really fantastic is how they have taken nothing away from the strongly addictive game play of the original. It just feels so right.

I think I will be playing OOlite for a very long time. :D

He did it again.... Clym, do you know they can cure this with very harmless drugs ? One blue and one pink tablet every evening before sleeping.

I have to admit, the maps are awesome.
