Oh, Wow, THANKS - and a bUg

Post by oncebytten »

First off, thanks- THIS is the game!

Thankyouthankyouthankyou! :D :D :D

As for bugs- installed the latest build- dated 4/11/06. Also have many of the add-ons installed as well. I went to dock at a coriolis(sp?) station, ship ahead of me just park there.

Fired on him, he moved- through the station. I went to dock, but went through the station. Cam around, was able to dock-wierd!

I've also the the 3 station add-ons as found on Oosat 1 & 2.

Ultimately, whatever. Thanks for this GAME!

Hi, twiceshy ;)

yes the fly-through bug seems to pop up now and then (but maybe Giles is working on a Mc Donalds franchise? :lol: )

And the parking ships, that happens sometimes for different reasons, sometimes fugitives that can't autodock and get confused, more often ships waiting for their number to come up @ the docking clearance computer, but probably holding the receipt upside down (heh)
Oolite is still evolving, and at least one of the reasons for the 'parked' ships Giles has been working on, IIRC, so, just wait for the next update (there will be a new release out somewhere over a month, testing versions a bit sooner.( If there are no big unsuspected problems, of course)

Twiceshy... Nice comeback... had'nt thought of that one... .


I can deal with the bugs... as for McDonalds- oh, I'll just have to mail a bunch of American Northwest-long-hair-tree-huggin'-xtra-crunchy-granola his way to solve that problem :?: :!: :?: :!: :?: :!:

My giggly-thankfulness comes from the fact that I've seen/played alot of the Elite-inspired open-ended games out there (I write for an online game e-zine) and it is sooo nice to slip into a game that finally seems to capture everything that Elite was and could-have-Tbeen :!: :)

Now you're morally obliged to write an article, heehee.

BTW:

Sure you didn't... Typical about non-native speakers (like me) they always think they're funny when punning in the worst possible ways... :oops:
