Oolite Bulletins

Plus it's very effective against missiles. It makes them lose lock on you and instead of actively chasing you, they just fly in a straight line until they either run out of fuel or you decloak (in which case they resume chasing you). It seems to me that that is no longer true. Or perhaps I mistook ...

Had you had the Deep State Pirates expansion pack installed, you would by now be toast!

@another_commander Those screenshots are amazing, the golden massurana in particular. Could you give me any hints on making my Fer-de-lance 3G 'deluxOTank' look like that? I can supply shipdata and textures. At present, that model looks like: EDIT: arg, how does one embed screenshots? Link: https://...

Redspear: yes, I suppose that make some sense.

I like the idea of reviving this oxp (/these OXPs). Sadly, I am no ship modeller, as one can see from my Fer-de-Lance 3G ships (and, if you think that actually those look alright - well, I had quite a bit of help with them . .).

> So if your ship (player or non player) comes preinstalled with an indestructible, damage resistant laser, then you have that chance to defend yourself, do you not?

Yes, but in-game realism requires that one be able to tell a story about where one got it . .

I think that my point, at least about the pulse laser, is: it seems reasonable to allow ships a chance to defend themselves a little (even if, as you say, this particular restriction will not affect the player).

> i won't be so harmless anymore now

Excellent! Go get 'em! (I want to say, 'Right on, Commander!', but, well, that doesn't seem quite right.)

I have had the thought behind this OXP myself. So I like it. However, given what the game is like as stock, restricting pulse lasers and missiles seems a bit extreme . .

I realise, now, that 'King Cobra' was a Oolite ship waiting to happen - because that snake exists (right? the 'King Cobra'?) and there have been various 'marks of Cobra', and the SuperCobra . .

But, oh no, the web page 'http://www.purgatori.net/kingcobra.htm' errors out!

Nice! Thanks. How about a close up? (Also, it's possible to embed images into posts, but the images dimensions must be below certain limits, though I forget what the limits are.)

Some screenshots would be nice!

I hadn't thought that the Ooniverse lacks moons, but it does! Or it did . .

Oh, I didn't notice that date. Previously my browser must have been set to ignore the problem. If this is an additional problem to the problem that this board doesn't use https, then, well, that's something else to put people off! Does renewing the certificate cost time and/or money?

Thanks for the explanations.

No hardheads at all seems a bit too radical to me . . [EDITED to fix typo.]

I am unsure 'missiling' is a word. It sounds right but read wrongly. I have not looked it up.
