Oolite Bulletins

Firstly many thanks to LittleBear (Random Hits) and Svengali (Local Hero) for working so quickly to get their missions compatable with v.1.71.1.

Now, I would like to know how other mission OXPs stand in relation to the new version of oolite, so that I may eventually uninstall my old copy of v.1.70.

Missions I have installed (cruising about G2 under v.1.71.1 ATM);
Local Hero
Random Hits
Ionics
Thargoid Wars
Military Fiasco
Black Monks

I sort of adopted Military Fiasco oxp. In 1.70 ship-scripts were not working properly so I could use only limited commands that were working. When reworking for JS I had some modifications in mind for 1.71. Sometime I will add them to the ship scripts. For now it will work well on 1.71. Recently the mission re-started a second time with me and works fine with 1.71

Military Fiasco will only generate an error in the log when the pirate leviathan is added. But for playing this error will be no problem so re-uploading for this minor error alone is no option.

Currently my main priority is a new 1.71 only oxp (With Svengali as co-writer.) Still a secret project but it has to do with the recent shortage of system buoy's. Oolite 1.71 needs more buoys than previous versions. Specially N-bouys start to get rare under 1.71.
Second priority is play-testing UPS with the new 1.71 functions.

Galactic Navy is still fully operational under 1.71

1.71 seems pretty much backward compatable as far as legacy scripts are concerned. All the Mission OXPs on the Wiki page should work with 1.71. Its only the more recent ones where Java script is used that could be problamatic.
