Oolite Bulletins

As much as I love the Feudal States OXP, I think that the Royal Hunting Lodges are quite broken right now. First time I arrived there, I was with my quite well equipped Cobra Mk. III but had only around 12.000 Cr with me. When I saw the opportunity of duelling with someone and the odds were 10:1, I just couldn't resist: I would go completely broke if I lost (and actually it was a bit long time since I had previously saved), but if I won I would go over 100.000 Cr! So that's what I did. The first duel was obviously tense, and I won. But then I kept duelling and duelling (and only when the odds were greater than 8:1 in my favour) and now I have almost 1.000.000 Cr!

On top of that, some of the combats were completely broken. Sometimes I would come from behind and the enemy ship would simply keep flying forwards, getting constantly hit by my lasers. When that happens, even if I try to get it out of this pattern it always came back to the same position. But even when the combat went normally, it was just plain easy! (or maybe I am too good - no really, it was really easy!). Out of 11 combats, I lost only a single one.

Right now I feel almost ashamed of my new fortune, but not enough to edit it out of my save game.

What do you guys think about it? Have you also exploited the Royal Hunting Lodges?

Cheers!

No, I don't think I've ever used any of the cash farms.

Yeah, I was simply not expecting it to be a cash farm, as the first dual was very tense (now I see it was because of the prospects of losing everything and not because of the difficulty). When I realized it was broken (after the 3rd fight) I just kept doing it as greed has no limits...

I just found the Feudal States forum thread and will report the duel behaviour I described here.

Locking this since the discussion continues in the corresponding OXP thread in Expansion Pack.
