Oolite Bulletins

The update described above makes escape pods a steal for the beginner but dearly expensive for those flying a well equipped ship.

I quite like that balance but it might be a bit too Draconian.
Feedback especially welcome on this one as I'm rarely flying a well equipped ship these days.

v 1.2 now available from the in game manager Major change: replacement ship doesnt come with full installation of all equipment The escape pod still costs you nothing yet GalCop still make money! GalCop has a lot of overheads. There's the orbital stations to run and repair, the fleets of transporte...

Maybe not what you are looking for but player.ship.takeInternalDamage(); is (randomly) damaging equipment as well. Thanks but I think I might have solved it... (totally would have tried that 5 minutes ago :lol: ) Techically you have no ship with ECM etc between ejecting escape pod and arrival to st...

OK so I'm almost certainly doing something stupid but here's the plan... Upon ejecting, the player finds the replacement ship has several damaged pieces of equipment (assuming they were present on the original ship). So, I need to: activate the script once the player ejects test for presence of unda...

@Cholmondely Diploma n cy OXP Nice linguistic joke, sir! Me think it reflects mind pattern of key figures involved in process in real reality :mrgreen: Err... Sorry, I'm not a native english speaker.

Them clouds are those provided by the OOTB (out of the box) game.
Here's a more cloudy example:

Kinda looks like smog more than clouds.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Should be fixed now... another basic error on my part in uploading the file

Surface looks great but are they clouds? My usual comment re clouds: more please! :D Assumptions: Blue = water = evaporation Green = flora = transpiration ...and I'm no expert here but... Crude assessment in presence of both = whacking great cloud layers sweeping AND swirling ominously through the f...

Finally fixed it...

Simple manifest problem as hellraiserpt identifed with Paddling Pool oxz.

Looks truly good!

It was something I wanted all the way back in the 80s. Never imagined I'd be able to help create it

By the way, just bunging Paddling Pool up on our wiki!

Thanks!

Seems fixed now (just tested updating expansions list).

Apologies for inconvenience.

Hi Redspear, It looks like you left some ^M characters inside the OXZ description, which is breaking the parsing of the file Oolite-download.plist when we try to update the expansion list. Hi hellraiserpt, Oops :oops: I think I've spotted the offending characters and will update shortly. Thanks and...

I would dearly love to see more made of the species in the game. All the gubbins I've dug up so far can be found on the new Species page in our wiki. Finger's crossed I'll be salvaging from my old PC soon, in whish case I plan to rescue this one . If I ration its ambition ever so slightly then I th...

Thanks to maik's hard work with the wiki, this is now available from the in-game manager.

Having done a little more testing in the last few day I can confirm that pirates still show up, just not very often.
