Counting kills?

Boogieman · Post by **Boogieman** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 4:18 pm

Is there any information about how many kills I have? It seems like some of you know your killcount. How do you count them?

Great game. Thanx a bunch.

hei busemann.
sure. open your commander in an editor, for instance simpletext. near the bottom you'll see

Code: Select all

<key>ship_kills</key>

and the number below..

It would be nice to have it as part of your Current Status info page in the game, where it has your rating say in brackets ie

Rating: Deadly (2560)

That's a good idea. Anyone second it?

I stubbornly refuse to fourth it because it didn't show you that info in the original Elite and therefore must be a desecration of said sacred cow. Even though there isn't really any sound reason for not showing the user that particular information, other than it'll take away the element of suprise for the next "Right On Commander".

Oh ok, bugger it... I fourth it! (if you say that fast, sounds a bit like forfeit... depending on your accent of course!)

May I suggest that it be added as an option on the 'save/load/option' screen? Then everybody's happy.

Then again who would have the willpower not to look?

The number of kills is in Xelite on the status page.

Is there anybody here who has played both Xelite and Oolite, it would be interesting to see how they compare. Xelite IMHO is the dogs bollocks, but then I haven't tried Oolite yet

I'm a really poor space pilot, unable to shoot down ennemy vessel, but I have a very good score.

In fact, counting asteroids for "ships kill" give good result !

PS: And I'm very bad with my english, but it's not my "mother language".

Do not worry... English IS my mother language and it is still bad!
