Oolite Bulletins

Thanks - will try it shortly.

Have a Futurama / Buffyverse crossover story - :
Good News
and its sequel
Memos

Has anyone put any of the Star Trek ships into an OXP, or the Deep Space 9 station etc.? I haven't checked every OXP, there are just too many, but none of the short descriptions seem to fit. Also, ages ago I think someone mentioned working on the Planet Express ship from Futurama - did anything come...

Proof that we really are living in the future; Sports Illustrated shot a swimsuit calendar in free fall. http://swimsuit.si.com/swimsuit/models/kate-upton/zero-g-photos/1 http://swimsuit.si.com/swimsuit/models/kate-upton/videos/intimates - three different videos of the free-fall shoot, the one with ...

"Think you're looking sideways when it's really aft
Try to drop a Q-bomb when you've fitted Safety Catch
Ram into boulders to collect the rock
These all are symptoms of a really dumb space jock,

Dumb ways to fly,
The Jameson ways to fly,
Dumb ways to fly,
The Jameson way to fly..."

Just tried it again (this time the mine was the first on the rack), it froze as soon as I pressed the missile fire button.

Finally used this in anger today - fighting three Thargoids, two fugitives and a load of Thargoid fighter robots in a dense asteroid belt, they thought they had me outgunned but insisted on following me when I ran. Got the lot! And I suspect would have fired the thing prematurely if it hadn't had t...

I got an email today with a header that began "Confirmation of your OOdals order"

Just for a moment I wondered if I was getting email from the Ooniverse, but of course it was actually a vendor on eBay.

What I'd forgotten is that this PC has a low noise low power consumption PSU, it turns out that a graphics card will push it so much that the manufacturer recommends replacing it. Which means I'd be paying at least 40-50 pounds or more to get the speed boost, really can't convince myself it's worth ...

Just out of curiosity, has anyone done a Lego spaceship OCX for Oolite? Can't recall one.

I was just looking at the Wikipedia article on Tribbles and noticed that someone had said that there were Tribbles in Elite.

Am I right to think that even in Elite's earliest days these were Trumbles, not Tribbles? I've edited the article accordingly, but if I'm wrong it will need to be changed.

Sounds more reasonable - and people like things more if they have to pay for them.

Um... well, I suppose there's no accounting for taste. I prefer the Boa Cruiser - sweet fast ride, maneuverable, 175 tons cargo, five missiles, and it can take a lot of damage if you've got a NEU and military shields. The Cobra is fun too, but fast beats big any day, as far as I'm concerned.

You should also be aware that if you buy a ship with an NEU and it gets broken you won't be able to fix it but it can be replaced with an extra energy unit. The NEU is awarded to the player for successful conclusion of a core-game mission, and after you have been officially awarded one, it can be r...

Also, I just got charged 0 credits to repair it, which seems a bit strange.
