Oolite Bulletins

I just watched the demo movie, and saw all those ring things, moons and bulk haulers. Where did they go in the latest release? I think it was good to get rid of those voices in the background, but why isn't the rest there? Was it an expansion they were demonstrating?

If you watched the demo until the end, you saw a list of OXPs that the demo video professed. All the effects are available in OXPs.

The speech is unique to the Mac version, however. There's an OXP for PC and Linux version that provides speech as well, but it is a bit different.

Ok. Sorry for not watching the end, but I thought a demo video would only show things out of the basic game without anything else.

I have a Mac and there isn't any speech. Was that only in the earlier versions or something?

you can toggle speech on and off in the settings at the savescreen

Except Bulk Hauler i think?

OK who wants to take responsibility for BH01-Jarmundgand?

And where it can be found. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6C-WJU9IoE

Super-necro post! Woo!

Well spotted Clym, I'm curious to know where this beast is lurking.

*edit*

Given that many great beasts lurk in the OSE and I'm surprised not to find this one there.

BH01-Jarmundgand: I'd like to include it if someone mad the oxp available.

Never seen it before, though

Well, I wouldn't mind brushing it up, giving it a new texture. Giving it a bevel or two and sending it out as the pure trade version of the dredger.

The font and the name makes me think military for some reason. Looks like a medical ship from the decals. A pretty dockable thing. Needs a bit of work but then landing "ass" end (as long as the AI doesn't make panic 90 degree turns) should take a lot of pain out of docking.

Not sure about the upward angle of the docking port though. I might have to fix that.

WELL! Who wants to take responsibility for this fine beast? By the name I'm looking toward middle upper Europe. You all know your eddas! Sure I bet you thought calling it after a mythical snake you were being a bit clever (hang on, that's what I do) Fortunately I know my mythos. Wes du hal!

Very cool

If you do it, I'll take it. As it's to big to dock, it will get Eric & T's Bigships routine for NPCs and the player version will get Frame's Transfer Shuttle.

Cheers (very happy about the team spirit breaking out over here )

Well, close observation and careful listening will tell you that Giles did lose all his forward shield and one and a half energy bars docking, so perhaps a more perpendicular docking slot would be a good plan....

of course this is all a touch accademic if we can't find it?

Maybe an appeal to the big G himself?

No, promises, but I'll see what I can do.....

Hows about having it as an emergency hospital & medical supplies vessel, with potential for OXP attachments & disaster story lines?
