Oolite Bulletins

But soon as I got those 3 named items, I was a mean person. I will pick a fight with any lone pilot, I will pick a fight with any cop. If I see a python/anaconda/boa with it's entourage... I will pick fight. Maybe I should try out that toughguy oxp.

Then you should try out [wp]The_Assassins_Guild_OXP[/wp]. It would be right up your street. With of course Tough guys added for good measure.

Also look for the Thargoid adding oxp's. Such as [wp]Thargorn_Threat_oxp[/wp] and [wp]Thargoid_Wars[/wp].

This is also a good place to look through for some inspiration. http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXP_List

But I would encourage you to add some eye candy oxp's as well as they can enhance your whole experience ten fold.

And may I take a moment to Welcome you to the friendliest board this side of Riedquat.

I was only a nice Jameson for a day, soon as I got them 4x military lasers... it was full time lunacy. I currently spend most of my time between planets that are less than 1ly apart, then intentionally misjump so I can leave packages with GalNavy "These are my parts." The space bars don't like me too much, every time I just try to get a drink and some fuel.. they beat me up and send me packing.

I'll have to check out Thargorn Threat, assasins guild, and toughguys. Those seem just my flavor. I already have full neolite, bless that man for making everything so pretty.

galcop ships mass-locking me causes me to always have a bounty of 255Cr (for some reason it won't go above that).

Is that indeed a hard-coded limit? Should it be? But since it rises in a linear fashion by addition, but falls geometrically by division, does it matter anyway?

(when) I have nothing better to do, I might put the cloaking device on and kill (even vipers), to pass the time.

So, all that time I have been mass-locked by a Viper, I could have cloaked, toasted the cop, and then carried on, with a clean licence. Damn, damn, damnity damn!


Since I posed the original question, I have killed clean pilots.

Pilots that requested help to be rescued from a gang of pirates, who I have rescued as requested, who have then tried to scoop the pirates' cargo. Said thieving, cowardly, whining toe-rags tend to die under my lasers these days.

Likewise when I'm mining, and some opportunist passer-by starts scooping my hard-earned asteroid splinters, they tend to find their hull being added to my cargo of mixed alloys.

Bounty addition works by binary ORing your current bounty with the bounty for that crime, rather than simple addition. So if you never commit a crime worth more than 255Cr (i.e. 11111111), your bounty won't go above that. Buy a big trader, and leave a main station with 130TC of Narcotics, and your bounty should go above 255Cr just fine, and I've had a bounty of over 300Cr after unwisely doing {REDACTED}.

There be heaps of cargo from bounty hunting... open up a pirate python and hoover away...

Can't find the Thargoid threat oxp in the link above nor the Thargoid wars one.. Oh well maybe they are out of date.

See the  OXP list.

They work fine. I have them both installed. You can find the Thargorn Threat here and the Thargoid Wars here.

Your links in that earlier post are to the wrong wiki, leafy.

I think Duggan was trying to use the links that Fatleaf posted at the top of this page. Where he appears to have linked to Wikipedia rather than to the Elite Wiki...
