Oolite Bulletins

This was the station i was gonna bin, but had a change of heart. Re-centred, retextured and now shaderised, here she is : www.purgatori.net/Nuit.htm
that was supposed to be a cool hyperlink using the word "here" and it didn't work

Currently, the OXP is simply a station and a simple script to produce one when you launch; as i said it was a fairly left-hanging project. Therefore, if anyone wants to claim her, giz a buzz and i can mebbes amend the official sales brochure thingy.

Huge thanks and gratitude to Griff for helping me out w/ shadery things for this and my upcoming ship ~ I hope the end result is somewhat worth all the time and effort you gave me.

Very very cool. Congrats on the release

EDIT Just tested it. Way Cool. Only one point of criticism is that the blue is a bit flat. Maybe you could add some hull plating. But I like the rotating parts and the domes and other very cool details like the docking bay.

I really need to figure out this shaderifying thing.. it does look good!

Awesome. I look forward to seeing this in game.

Wow, man !

Huuuuge!

Man! I want to give that a photoshop overhaul, but no time! Arg!

I can't seem to get close to the docking slit. I blow up when I'm close to it, but not touching, or near touching, it.

what are you flying? the rings make a level approach critical but anything that can fit in a normal dock should be able to dock.

Cobra Mk III

:-\
i have no idea, other than to insult your docking abilities
j/k. seriously, i dunno. i've docked fine and i've got screen grabs of a Rapier docking and leaving, unless there's something odd about the collision box of the MKIII that's actually catching on the top ring, i don't know what it could be.

edit :
did a quick test, Cobra fits no probs. gotta be your approach angle.

try keeping SLIGHTLY high and drop down at the last moment.

It might just be my docking abilities. I've had a docking computer for way too long

I know this may sound stupid, but I just can't help but be entertained by docking, then undocking the main station and coming out to find one more Nuit. I've got about twenty all scrunched up together!

That would be a bug, of course.

@ Killer Wolf: You should put a check for existing stations in your spawning script.

Lol, 20!!

yeah, like i said in my post, the station was originally binned then i decided to shaderise her, so she didn't have a plot or OXP for her specifically, hence me saying if someone wanted to adopt her they could. the script was just to get her visible if people wanted to have a quick look. she was originally supposed to be beside a Coriolis (beside as in on the other side of the planet i guess) to handle the huge ships the Cori couldn't, but ideally i think she should be spawned a ways out in the darkness to get full effect of the lights.

Wow.

I have several metal plating textures that I made for the Dredger Alt Texture set. You are welcome to them.

This still needs to be done by whoever cares to maintain this OXP/OXZ anymore.

I recommend making it available at high tech (TL 10+?) Dictatorships and all the way up to Corporate States, but not Communist systems or maybe even Confederacy Systems.

It will also need an updated market so commodities aren't all 0.
