Should any ship decloak when it fires its weapons?

Ehh I don't suppose you could send me that program so I can change it back, no?

Hm, what you could do would be to do an automatic "replace" with the shipdata script of OSE when that is ready. (It isn't. The one you can already download in the "Testing and Bugs Forum" is a beta that has not yet the expanded ship classes in.)

You simply have to replace ...

<key>cloak_passive</key>
<true/>

... with:

<key>cloak_passive</key>
<false/>

... "for all".

Concerning the automated program, which is being written by Katharsis under my guidance, we will probably publish that and put it into the Oolite public domain when it's done and has been used successfully to complete OSE. But I fear you will not find that so useful for the comparably much easier task outlined above.

Hope this helps

Erm how might I do that under OSX? Is it possible with Automator?

You will have to ask one of the Mac people for that, I have no idea, I'm on Vista

Ya thought about downloading windows 7 RC?

I'm going to wait until, how does one say this in english, "the wrinkles have been ironed out".

I had enough fun with bluescreens when I got the brandnew Vista as a "feature" when I bought my current laptop ...

As I hear it, 7RC1 is pretty reliable.. but I wouldn't know.

I've got Win7 RTM (Pro) on my work desktop. It's stable, but a little sluggish due to Dell not having updated some drivers yet, so I'm getting a lot of system interrupts that should "iron out" as Lestradae put it once Dell gets off it's ass.

Oh, and yes, Oolite runs on it just fine.

That's all that matters. I wouldn't care if it BSOD'd every time I launched IE, as long as it runs Oolite.. But I use firefox so I wouldn't care.
