Yeah... it becomes tiresome reading some of it. I've had to add a couple of people to my ignore list.pagroove wrote:Hehe I've just read some topics on the ED forums. Some heated discussions there.
Well this is always the case with 'online' games. I've seen the same thing in racing games, RPG's and so on. Let's say it looks all familiar.

Things tend be civil on here... For the most part!Wolfwood wrote:Yup, I ignored most threads before this and I continue to ignore even more of them now. Silly stuff, but unfortunately very common on online forums.
I suspect if we decreed that everyone had to play the same version of the game, down to the OXP set, semi-competitively, things would become rapidly uncivil very quickly. Rather Frontier than me!Pleb wrote:Things tend be civil on here... For the most part!

I've been pleasantly surprised by the number of people on the FD forum who play/have played Oolite - we even have a small thread over there.ClymAngus wrote:Does anyone know how oolite is regarded on other forums like frontier?
This might be something which Kickstarter projects are vulnerable to. People stump up their money at the outset, on a promise - in effect, buying a game which only exists in their imagination. Then, perhaps, as dreams and reality begin inevitably to diverge, they start to feel short-changed ("That's not what docking was like in my head! Change it at once!").ClymAngus wrote:Some people really are not doing their blood pressure any good at all.

Ah yes - the 'godlike powers' of the DDF.Tricky wrote:That's what the DDF is for (apparently).
Further to what Cody said, from what I've seen, Oolite seems very much respected by all who've encountered it.ClymAngus wrote:Does anyone know how oolite is regarded on other forums like frontier?
Are we a seen as a bunch of programming hippies compared to the cut and thrust of Frontier?

<coughs>I am still hoping ED will have this too as an Easter Egg.Commander McLane wrote:It's touching to see the Flying Dutchman getting some love.
