Oolite Bulletins

Well the oolite answer is, there can be done a lot, but you have to build( program / js ) it yourself most of the time...



Here simulated in an animation, see also the color sweep demo from A_C

Trying to make Xpats accept me as their escort leader.

But in Legacy AI, performIntercept is seems the only command to have close to the desired effect, but much too aggressive. When I let them catch up to me, I get rammed.

Check this out, it might be of interest to some (hint: Hey Cody!). Coruscant:






Original textures by ShinyMan, downloaded from here .
Oolite OXP available from here: https://we.tl/t-rLnG5avX9r
Note that the original normal map is included in the package but is not used because I didn't like it that much. You can see it if you set the normspec map in planetinfo.plist to coruscant_ns.png.

Far out! Ceerti - a revolting little planet - gets lit-up!



Muchas gracias, Admiral - another drink or three I owe you!

Not particular enamoured with the classic adder, this one I would buy!

Slap it on the back of your boa as a dinghy for all your in system (s)hopping.

It's very close. Turns out the resolute tenacity of performIntercept baked with increasing frustration of not being able to catch up, bears a lot of similarity to animal frenzy.

Screenshots don't capture the night-vision effect (as mentioned somewhere, I think) - but any excuse to post a pic, eh?



The planet ahead (black crescent) is Coruscant as Ceerti.

Gosh!

Looking forward to my future role as a double agent. But I hope pulling off experiments like this isn't too complex for a novice.
