Well, I got an intimidatingly comprehensive welcome message from @Cholmondely, so I guess I had better introduce myself....
Hello, I'm case, or "thelowercase" or "@iamthelowercase" if we're being formal :) I came across the name "oolite" browsing around the Ubuntu repos years ago, but paid it no mind until around November of last year when I started getting ahold of some joysticks. It's not (no longer?) in the Debian archives, but using @Hiran 's starter and doing a local-install of the linux binaries worked fine.
I think in my first run I loaded up 90% of the english version of Stranger's World. Then I came across a wiki article that suggested getting real familiar with the vanilla game before adding any expansions, so I ran a -strict save for a while. The save I'm currently running has most of Stranger's World back on, Power To Engines, Missionaries, a HUD, and a few other things.
The expansion manager in my install of the starter is a bit borked right now, and I haven't bothered to fix it yet. That's scheduled for after I get my new machine put together and running. Otherwise there would be a few more things installed :) Including re-activating Stranger's Hard Way, which I had turned off but now regret.
There was a break for several months where I was playing Elite: Dangerous more than Oolite, and I have thoughts on them, but this is not the post for that.
Introduce Yourself.

How goes it? Where are you? What are you up to?RobsterLeal wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2024 11:03 amHi - returning to Oolite after an enforced break... don't think I've ever introduced myself though..
Rob - started playing Elite on the old ZX Spectrum back in the day, got all the way to deadly but never lasted the whole course..
discovered Oolite several years ago, had it installed on my PC for a good while (Windows build).
Liking the new OoliteStarter and latest builds, have the game setup with many OXPs , currently halfway through visiting everywhere in Galaxy 1..
I have hit what i think is a bug - my kill count is stuck at same number (131) - does not increase when i dock...i get the emails on the email oxp system.
Which thread do i report it on... ?
Tried any of the missions yet?
