I had to bug out on injectors and lose the hostile police ship before my plasma turrets knocked me all the way up to fugitive.

Could have simply switched weapons off?

@another_commander
Is it possible to declare normal maps of planets and moons in script? Trying to do it. Diffuse map was OK, normal map was failed to load.

No, it is not. Quite unfortunate, because I just realized myself that the diffuse map can be changed by script.

@another_commander Has you plans in future Oolite releases to implement numeric value of atmosphere density instead Boollean has_atmosphere = YES || NO? It may be set to 1.0 by default. Seems it will be nice feature to adjust atmosphere visual effects and air friction. Not an immediate plan, but I ...

... and Cobra over Jupiter.

Can you explain terminator_threshold_vector parameter? I can't find info in Planetinfo.plist page. Seems it is declared as fixed value terminator_threshold_vector = "0.105 0.18 0.28"; for all 2048 systems. You asked the $1M question but I'm glad you did. Okay, let's see how I can explain this. Term...

Looks very nice, well done. Just a couple of observations: 1. Was it a conscious decision to keep the atmosphere? The air color is set to full black so it is not immediately obvious that an atmosphere is there, but you can remove it altogether by setting the has_atmosphere = NO; in shipdata. 2. Ther...

Nice work, sir! Thank you very much, glad you like it! Are you planning to use Moon texture as the next example? I'm assembling Leesti using 8k Moon diffuse and normal maps, so I'll present it if it will not clash with your's next plans. Go ahead and deliver your version of the Moon. It does not cl...

One more expansion in the series of showcasing the latest Oolite planetary texturing capabilities. This time, we have Diso converted into the gas giant Jupiter, using a brand new 8k diffuse texture map. The map used is taken from Bruce Murray's Space Image Library and is a merged image based on the ...

So, is there a "{PlanetName}isJupiter" OXP in the works?

Now that you mentioned that... hmmm...

commsPackA is not a core package. This is almost certainly OXP induced.
