Playing around with my new PC and my WIP mining OXP

Wowowowowowow !

Would you happen to have such screenshot in FullHD ? That would be such an awesome desktop background.

I've seen many things in Oolite. Generation ships, Thargoid fleets, Novae, even Q-Bomb cascades dwarfing planets. But not even the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard is as spooky as this:



It's just plain freaky. A lone ship, far from the spacelanes, in an isolated system, embedded in in asteroid, for who knows how long. This is one of those things that makes Xeptatl's Sword such an interesting mission.

I wonder if it was a cruise ship conversion captained by an Italian?

You have to wonder? if?

The stock will crash harder than the ship. "This is the captain. I have just finished making an E-trade and have left the ship. All hands to escape pods."

Something like this:



If only I could squeeze it into 256x128...

hahaha!

Using my tail gun to destroy some poor innocent in an adder, while skimming just 300m above the planet surface.

I like the Constrictor, or more specifically Griff’s Constrictor, so I have it appear very rarely as a normal pirate… it gives me a nice surprise occasionly. This one had just locked-on to me when the Viper started on him, so he disengaged and went for the GalCop ship instead. I tracked the pair of them with short bursts of the torus as they injectored away, and eventually I caught-up with them while they were duelling and snuck onto the Constrictor’s six. Just after I took this pic, I started taking unintentional hits from the Viper and had to veer away sharpish.

"The Moloch II" seems a fitting name for it.

One wonders what happened to this pilot's first ship.

Yes indeed! Alas, no scripted pilot with this variant... and when the Viper eventually splashed the Constrictor, its escape pod took off at a helluva speed.

What ?!?

That must have been one Deadly Viper & Mostly Harmless Constrictor...

Hmm… the Viper Interceptor has a lower max energy than the Constrictor, but its recharge rate is higher, and it’s more maneuverable.
It was a good dogfight to watch, that much I know, prolonged by NPC Shields.

Bringing my client home. Seen here are The Escort Contract.oxp https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9713by Capt Murphy is an excellent addition to Oolite. In the screenshot you can see my client safely arriving in the station aegis. The Hud you see here is the new CRR Hud https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11502by Capt. Beatnik.

This thread is a bit too quiet.
