Re: Proposal: What about an update to monument.oxp?
Posted: Fri Sep 14, 2012 6:09 pm
Another addition? How about Neil Armstrong?
For information and discussion about Oolite.

Oh yes Gagarin should certainly have a monument too, well said SmivsSmivs wrote:(along with Gagarin I would hope).
Does the same go for Ada Lovelace?Geraldine wrote:How about Alan Turing? Without him, we wouldn't have anything to play Oolite on.
That might actually be worth doing, so long as we can do it tastefully, i.e. in a way that warns the future rather than chides the past.How about modifying this so that it recites aloud a long list of commanders who departed leaving work behind them which does not have a license?

About (what I learn is called) The Great Deletion: that automatic deletion of threads is not happening any more, is it? (I apologise if an answer to this is available already.)
Monument OXP is a wonderful thing, and technically (yes?) goes by the name, 'Tionisla Orbital Graveyard - Monument'. Seemingly that expansion pack was last updated in 2017, though this thread about it has its last entry in 2012.
As I grouched to RedSpear recently, I just don't find contracts particularly interesting. Plus, if they are wealthy enough to hire a taxi to go and look at it, they probably have their own FdL's with white-gloved butlers etc. And the Coral Liners in Lave.oxp probably wander past every now and again for those with less dosh.

It is a plus indeed if you are hired to 'drive' that Fdl ( add in a chance hijacker-attack, voila purpose,excitement and perhaps payment )Cholmondely wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:52 pm

Should we just put it up on the Expansions Manager (under his name, of course) - or should we change it first?Sent: Wed Feb 22, 2023 10:15 pm

Hi Cholmondely,
Do what you want with the Monument OXP.
I haven't kept up with Oolite other than to glance at it every few years. I even got a Mac for work recently so of course had to try it on the original platform but I didn't even go through hyperspace! Just wanted to run it on a Mac once.
Glad you enjoy the game. I figured once ED came out people would forget all about Oolite.
Regards, David.
