Oolite Bulletins

Is it very difficult to change the game maps? Then we really could explore for real! Not difficult technically - you can change system coordinates, names, descriptions etc in planetinfo.plist. Just laborious. Oh my giddy Aunt... I can do this strategically to exaggerate or minimise quirks of the pr...

Tangentializing further... Might it be nice if Your Ad Here included more advertisments for other oxps? Even if it were only at the witchpoint buoy (and the solitary installed oxp) then you would have in-game advertisements/hints to other oxps: you'd learn about them as you play; becoming increasing...

Honourable mention for the Moray (esp. seeing as you've already mentioned the Adder). Cargo capacity of 7TC isn't that much yet lies between the Adder and the Mk I. Speed however is superior to both of them and so you may still make money faster with the Moray than with the Mk I. Key things to consi...

Some questions Firstly, this is almost entirely my own fault... I tend to write my thoughts as I go - it presents the opportunity for early criticism/feedback which is often useful (even if my integration of such isn't always obvious). Consequently, the first post whilst still representing the 'pro...

Best wishes everyone

So, what I propose, is: an attempt at establishing consistent lore, rooted in real-life science, but reaching "beyond our current understanding" if necessary in order to maintain IU consistency. So you have alternate fiction threads that you wish to consolidate into one consistent whole representin...

Updated again to v 0.5.1

Fix for error in manifest.plist

Apologies to anyone who downloaded v 0.5

I was able to grab 1.4 from the wiki by looking up recent page changes and then downloading directly from your wiki File page. It works. I'm in Ensoreus and can only buy mining lasers! Thank you. So my Tibetan was just about up to it then. Tashi delek! :) The next issue is why it won't download fro...

Update to v 0.5 and available from the manager. Changes: Remodeled to include burst lasers as a beam-laser intermediary Ship size alters power rather than range Rarification of Asps and Fer de Lances (both equipped with burst lasers by default) Removed conflict with New Lasers but this will be depen...

Did you remember to dance widdershins around your computer whilst sacrificing your next-door neighbours and uttering chants in Sanskrit in order to appease the AppleMac download daemons?

Damn it! I used Tibetan... I'll have to invite the other neighbours round now

Yes, Zaonce, indeed. I was appalled.

v1.4 has just been uploaded.

Give that a try and see if it fixes the problem.

Thanks.

Not me, guv!

Apologies. Not sure how that happened (other than through my own incompetence...)

I think the idea I posterd here (under reimagined multiple lasers), whilst far from flawless, should result in the desired effect 9 times out of 10. So an 'invisible' central laser does all the damage whilst the false side lasers (visual effects) get all the credit for doing so. If the side lasers a...

I think that it might be helpful to distinguish between RL (Real-Life) Science and IU (In-Universe) Science. My interpretation, Commander Redspear, is that, perhaps, you seem to have in mind in your first flow diagram: *RL* Science --> Fiction ...and in your second flow diagram: Game --> Fiction --...
