Oolite Bulletins

and to conclude ice(s)teroidday for this week

For a moment there, I thought you'd found the mythical system of Snusowt.

For a little moment in the preview, I thought I should add a space, but I liked the look

'do we have binary systems in oolite?'

'do we have binary systems in oolite?'

Alas, no - more's the pity!

The enhanced nebula/star oxz make for wonderfull photo-ops, but navigating makes me a bit nauseous.

Lovely pictures ... but which enhanced nebula/star oxz?

Good question! I use two: KeeperSky.oxp and a modified ZygoSky 1.3.oxp, and I ain't too sure which does what anymore, or if they compete with each other. Looks pretty good though. I also use the star_count_multiplier in my planetinfo.plist (also modified).

Which one cbr uses, I've no idea (though the nebulae look like Zygo's)!

The best nebula I've seen was definitely Zygo's...

Liberators? I recall an episode wherein a whole fleet of Liberators turn up (though that might've been the radio series).

The BBC (among others) - and well worth a listen. Blake's 7 had such excellent characters, a cut above other sci-fi series.

Esleve's sun has a lovely hue...
