Oolite Bulletins

Any reader who has any version of Realistic Shipyards installed, please redownload the altered version 3.02b now linked from the RS homepage here:

It has come to my attention recently that there is a gamebreaking bug in Realistic Shipyards which is not particularly realistic.

As the next version is still a ways off, I publish here a patched version 3.02 (b) that completely removes this bug.

The bug appears when the game spawns a top secret ship from a certain mission outside that mission as a pirate. That in and of itself is wanted behaviour for RS; the idea is that more than one prototype was stolen and found its way into pirate hands. Bad thing is, if that ship gets shot down in the same system as the player is, the game considers the ship`s mission as finished even if it never began properly, will award its awards - over and over again, and if the mission was not already done, will never start properly.

I apologise to all RS players who encountered this bug, though with an oxp the RS size bugs are inevitable, this one has been especially annoying. Well, not any more.

Hope you still have fun playing Oolite (and RS)

As 350 people seem to have downloaded RS version 3.02b in the two weeks of my holiday, I again remind that the version with the b really should replace any older version, as it removes a potentially game-breaking bug!
