I see you, squirrelly one. No new messages posted for two years, but I see you.

I'm still here, lurking without a cloaking device engaged!
Every now and then I do a binge and crawl through the board catching up on all the posts. I've been really excited to see mcarans succeed getting a build working within MSYS2 and work on updating dependencies, something I attempted previously but never quite managed to fully realise. Reading through, it's been interesting seeing them find the same errors and issues that I ran into, but actually having the knowledge/understanding to manage to solve the ones I couldn't, and get all the way to making a fully working build. Fantastic work! It's kept me around for a bit, and inspired me to look at my old building process again.

It would be nice to have real lurking in Oolite.
If one could meaningfully "power-down" one's ship and then lurk, hiding from sight behind an asteroid and
not appearing as a powered ship to the NPC scanners.
Might it be OXP-able or would it need vanilla-game code changes?

I'm glad you're still here!
I stand on the shoulders of giants. But for
this comment of yours, I'd probably have thought it a lost cause when the game didn't start after my first attempts to update dependencies on MSYS2.
