Out of retirement Commander questions on new fangled Oolite

[Commander Uzi]

Greetings all,

Not a noob to Elite, played in my youth some 30+ years ago on an Amiga & retiring as Deadly to spend some time with life & love.

I have been called up to dust off the old Cobra (and myself) again after finding this new fangled Oolite. Makes me feel like a young gun again

So first off trying to get the hang of these OXP's & bringing myself up to date with it all I added BGS & get this on launch each time:

BGS - M - Check your latest log

How do you do that?

OK lots more to ask but that will do to start.

The file should be in <oolite install directory>/oolite.app/Logs under Windows. Open it with your text editor of choice.

The OXP will have left a message in the log, probably that you don't have an up to date Cabal Commons OXP library installed and that you should do so (download it here).

[Commander Uzi]

Well as I didn't have Cabal Commons, that would be it.

What a nice Thargoid you are....not like that #@#%* that just took me out with one missile.....need more credits

[Commander Uzi]

WOW that did it - who knew space was SO noisy

who knew space was SO noisy

Heh.. wait until you've tried loitering in the Station Aegis for an hour or so, looking to hitch a lift to a particular system, through somebody's wormhole..

If I could just figure out which ship Mr "No worries" was aboard, I'd vape him!

He ain't aboard a ship! The poor guy is caught in a trans-dimensional time-loop - all we get is his voice, but he seems to be okay!

I'm also not new to Elite, but I'm having a problem with space stations. I travel to other systems, approach a planet, and there is no orbital station. The only ones I can find are Dodos and rock hermits - no Coriolis stations or anything else! It's really crimping my enjoyment of the game. I'll approach close to a planet and I'll get a compass reading, approach it and there's nothing but empty space.

That's not right. Can you post your latest.log please?

Hello? nr.edge? Are you there??

Old post, I know, but what the heck.

It's weird how it sounds like a couple of them say "no worries". If you reverse the recording, you can hear what they actually are saying (boring ATC chatter).

[Diziet Sma]

So "zero one" becomes "no worries"..

Thanks for that.. you gave me an entertaining 20 minutes, and what I needed to know in order to create some extra chatter files for a bit more variety..
