I'm trying to make it all the way to Elite on "hard core" mode.

Ironman mode is harsh - very harsh! I sometimes go Ironman for a cross-chart run, and that can be harsh - but for 25 ROCs? Good luck, amigo!


That image doesn't seem to display, btw.

Hey-ho. Long time no post. My computer took a nose dive and I ended up having to reformat it and because I didn't have an external backup, I lost all my Oolite stuff. Having to go back and redownload and re-edit everything to get it back to the way I had it before was a huge hassle and that killed any motivation to play for a while. I got back in to gear recently and have almost gotten back to where I was at before I lost everything so here are a few shots.




"Llama at Alaza"

Normally I tend to bounce around the Old Worlds, drifting between Zaonce, Ensoreus, and Onrira but yesterday I decided to take a passenger up to Alaza. The trip went fairly smoothly. My extra heat shielding burned out about a fourth of the way through the trip but I didn't want to waste the time having it fixed so I left it broken until I docked in Alaza. Some pirates got the jump on me at the beacon in Mariar. They demanded four tons of cargo when I had none. I bet their scanners were mistaking the passenger berth for something else. I had enough fuel left to escape through witchspace so they weren't much of a problem. The rest of the trip was scoop-jump-scoop-jump. Easy money.





"Pulsar?"

Since I was in the neighborhood and my Llama needed the loving caress of a good mechanic, I hopped over to Tianve to get my ship looked at and also do some sightseeing. The pulsar was not quite what I was expecting. I took a gander before heading back to the main station for maintenance and some R&R.

I see them just fine. Something wrong at your end?

[Cody]

Thanks, spara, I'll check. I see all other images okay... strange!

Ahh... uBlock Origin doesn't like those three images for some reason.

A bit old-school remix goodness. CaptKev's & Griff's old dodo model, CaptSolo's retouched Griff X1 dock, Griff's X1 flashers, Simon B's Neolite alienhull texture + normalmap spiced with Neolite alien-coriolis texture and a subtle glow around the dock. Uses core shaders.

Coming to the new version of Stations for Extra Planets oxp somewhere in the future.

Is it only me or does it seem a bit of DOF (Depth Of Field) effect on the upper part of the station?
Could it be a texturing artifact? Or a shading one?

I think it's more related to normal maps failing when viewing angle is too low (not these particular ones, this is a problem with normal maps in general).

... and the fact that in a still (screenshot) they are very likely more visible than during the game (when they could be considered to be a "monitor motion blur" artifact). Also the color combination could also have a contribution.
Heh, normalmaps! Always better not too look at them along the tangent to the surface

Is that a Griff Griffin? <grins> Thanks, I'd forgotten to re-install that.
