Oolite Bulletins

I don't really play Oolite anymore so I have no objections but my contribution to this wasn't very large so you'd perhaps be better speaking to the others if they are still around. Thanks

Wow, I'd actually forgotten all about Oolite until I got an email saying someone had replied to this thread! A blast from the past indeed...

@Commander Talbot - No you'd have to make significant changes to the source code to allow this.

The only ones I have were the free ones from Black Friday. I spent £50 on Beta access that's more than enough I feel!

I saw that in the newsletter! Still don't know how I feel about paying for paint jobs though. Nearly got the wire frame one but decided against it due to the stupidly high price tag it had.

Doesn't that surely just mean that those who were Beta testers get to continue to test the major addons/patches before they are made available to everyone else?

Yes and no. It is a grind, in the same way as Elite and Oolite are. But I've seen that some people have made insane amount of money quite quickly so it depends. I don't play often do I haven't progressed very far. But if I had more time to spare and less other games to play I'd probably have my own ...

There were some free skins for the Cobra a while back on Black Friday, and those that preordered or were part of Beta got a free decal. But yeah apart from that you have to pay which sucks.

By the way, great setup mossfoot!

Did you not pre order or have Beta then? I got a Sol permit when I signed up for Beta but I'm not sure how else you'd get one, probably through Fed rep. Need to get my Cobra back I haven't played properly in ages as I was convinced Gamma was gonna get wiped and since then I've had other games to pla...

No don't lock the FPS as you will probably get more out of it. Set everything to the highest settings then gradually reduce them until it is smooth is one option. Or start at the bottom and work your way up. But I would definitely turn vsync off as that's what caps the FPS. But it's all trial and er...

What a carry on it is too!

Ooh matron!

I tend to keep up to date with how things are going by looking at the branches on github! Unfortunately real life commitments have kept me from being able to play much nowadays but I do try to find the time when possible.

Well, if you wanted it kept quiet, you need to not let the cat send emails of the dev's comments..

I think it was also on github...

There is a massive increase in performance between the GT 620 and the GTX 750Ti:

ED and Oolite will run very well now!

Well it won't be that marginal, the performance increase will in fact be quite good in comparison to your current card: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=1429&cmp[]=1431 However the GT 630 is still going to be inferior to a lot of newer cards, but I suppose it comes down to money a...
