Oolite Bulletins

Did you keep the names of the images the same? Also, did you clear your browser cache?

Edited to add:- I'm seeing the cropped versions so my guess is you need to clear the browser cache. The page looks right to me.

Erm, yes, that did make a difference. Thanks again, Smivs. I need some advice. How much do I put on this Wiki page of mine? All of my ships? Abbreviations? Other pages? I'm a bit unsure of the direction I'm heading with this.

You might be better to do separate pages for each OXP - That's what myself and most others do I believe, and keep you 'user' page for any personal 'backstory' you have, and as an index page for your OXP pages.

That's great. That's exactly what I wanted to know. I did the same thing with a website I had through Yahoo a few years ago, and I broke things down into several pages, with links to them in the form of thumbnails on the main page. Thanks guys.

Note that the suggestion was not to subdivide your user page, but to create proper Wiki pages.

Well, I'm doing the best I can. If I screw up, I'm sure I can count on you to let me know. Dang, and I wasn't going to answer people in this thread anymore.

Never say never

*strolls in whistling nonchalantly*

Ah, just the man I was looking for.

Another mysterious question If MandoTech Industries had a tagline, what would it be?
For example, Weyland-Yutani Corp's is "Building Better Worlds" (not that I'm suggesting Mandotech is anything like WYC lol).

How about;

"MANDOTECH INDUSTRIES: Building better rubber chickens"

There seem to be some pages missing here, but maybe it's just my imagination. Anyway, here are some pics of a few ships that are nearing completion.

The MT1035Corsair is the faster, skinnier brother to the two battle cruisers I've made. It's long, and sleek, and looks fragile........but appearances can be deceiving. Those mounts amid ship are mini-turrets set on high energy. The ship literally overpowers whatever it is zeroed in on with plasma. I couldn't move fast enough to get screenies of it doing just that, so these will have to do for now.










These next two are of a set. The Thunderbird is huge, and sports multiple ball turrets. The Lightningbird is small, almost tiny when compared to the Thunderbird. You guessed it, the Lightningbird is the escort ship to the Thunderbird.

Thunderbird










Lightningbird

got any flying trucks?

I built one for a guy a couple of years ago, but if I'm not mistaken, the thing got so huge (not In design size) that it was totally impracticable for the game. I haven't built anything new, now, since somewhere around May, 2013, though I do have several that are nearly finished/half finished/just started, in Blender. It's been a busy Summer, for various reasons, so I haven't even got to play the game much, not to mention build new ships.

I'll keep the truck idea in mind, though. Maybe I can even make a playable version.

In the meantime.. (I'd love to see a Mandoman Truck, btw!) if you're desperate, there is Paradox's Heavy Metal Freight Hauler..

Paradox's Heavy Hauler is a great oxp by the way.
