Oolite Bulletins

Well, I downloaded your oxp and I like it, Nice work!

I am having a little problem though

After finishing the Kraken Mission and getting that lovely easter egg of a defence system (or defense) whatever you may prefer, my poor drones got destroyed when i had to inject my ass out of there during a heavy battle.

I decided after peaking through the scripts files to visit a tech 14 planet in hopes of buying new ones, since I learned that the self repair system wont make new drones, even when I hack the Script files to allow the self repair system to fix the guardian system(I since undid my hack).

When i went to the equipment screen, I was shocked to learn that i was not offered the option of repairing it or buying a new one, What gives?

Again, I like the OXP adds some nice variety to oolite.

Cheers

I know I've said said something about this elsewhere but thought it might be worth posting here rather than [wherever it was] to ensure it's in the right place. For the record sort of thing while I'm posting a few other oddities. I get this one a lot; if so usually many entries.

15:30:17.654 [shipData.load.warning.turret.badWeaponRange]: ----- WARNING: ball turret weapon range of 20000 for subenitity of ship aquatics_pirateDestroyer is too high, using 7500.

Just done the Hammerhead mission and bought the Guardian defence system. How does this work? Is it automatic?

Also just noticed a warning in my log for Aquatics v2.30c Beta for Trunk:
I looked in the textures folder and found that the filename was "aquatics_dockingFX - I.png" with spaces around the "-" symbol. Renamed it to the above without the spaces.

I like what you did with the docking sequence. Is that adaptable so that it also happens in normal stations. In other words: could you design a little 'docking ambiance oxp' or 'docking door oxp'.

Also tried the new planetfall. Love the landing and take off sequence.

hey there!
today i noticed a box escort ship that was flying in a circle around me and attacked me with its port and starboard lasers.
First i was surprised-because this was the first time i saw a ship ever doing this and i thought : "does this one have thargoid lasers?". But then it started attacking me with it's forward laser again before it started another attack with the side lasers.
For saving my ass i had to make use of my port and starboard weapons in order to kill it-it was really fun!great work!

So, in my new personal Ooniverse I'm currently assembling, I'm rejecting/editing anything which alters the names/descriptions of planets, and that replaces the main station with anything other than a re-textured Coriolis/Dodo/Ico station. However, I would like the ships from this OXP, and would also quite like to have the station, as I see nothing wrong with a corporation building an addition station in a system as a headquarters. While I'm trying to avoid massive galaxy-changing missions, I recall the one here to be reasonably self-contained, so I don't think I need to worry about it.

Would I be correct in assuming that in order to achieve this in my personal copy, all I have to do is delete the planetinfo.plist and add a station spawning script? Or are there going to be some hidden gotcha's due to the way the mission is constructed...?
