Oolite Bulletins

MWOHOHO hi hi hi everyone im reporting back to action after being out all this time playing different space games... and im decided to return for a while and make a new ship pack i understand that mods have surely become better and the oolite engine itself too so, please would you tell me if this have become possible? so i can design a complete ship pack with about 18 ships using those technologies


-multiple front lasers

-ship companions !

-manned turrets

-operable carriers/clan like structures

also i have noted that, you cannot make a ship bigger than a dock bay, well here is my suggestion, it would be great to have a mod that enables BIG ships to deploy a smaller ship that docks into the facility/station where you are getting in this is much necesarily because if at least we have manned turrets already i plan to make UBER BIG battleships so... tell me if this is possible

Ships can be any size you like you just can't dock large ships.

You can however use the role "bigTrader" by having Eric Walch's and Thargoid's Big Trader OXP installed. You can see one example of how this works with my Constitution Class Heavy Cruiser OXP or alternatively take a look at I think the Liners OXP. This will prevent stations tying to launch these ships or these ships attempting to land.

multiple front lasers

See Griff Krait OXP for an example of this.

ship companions

Do you mean escorts ?

manned turrets

I am not aware that this is possible. Perhaps someone else may be able to give you a definitive yes or no.

If you tried to modify all stations, to just change the dock size, it would probably screw up the textures. Have you tried the SuperHub OXP? Maybe just limit yourself to docking at these stations.
