Oolite Bulletins

Congratulations to your new ship Taka, enjoy the flight.

Out of curiosity, is actually anybody in charge for this OXP now ? It still seems kind of popular and since I already included it in my own WIP I wouldn't mind yo take it over for future support.

Is it possible to make a script to ‘force’ it to show up for sale at a TL15 station? You can easily do yourself by editing the shipyard.plist. There you will find techlevel = 15 chance = 0.90 If you change the techlevel to 1 and the chance to 2.0 all systems will be flooded with the ship :wink: Edi...

That should work, overlaying 2 models (active and inactive) and remove or restore the active one when needed. I tired another approach by setting the max_energy to 0, needless to say the turret keep on firing.

Yeah, those examples are of the "remove it then restore it" type. Removing it would make it actually disappear from the ship. I'm trying to find a simple way of keeping the subentity visible, but neutering it's firing mechanism. Thanks for point that OXP out though - I'd missed it in my searches. I...

Does anyone know of a way to disable a turret on a ship? Other than removing it, I mean.

Not sure if this help but I could remember that there was a Turret Toggler:

On another note, I *finally* got around to modeling the Ray. I'm not too sure about the shape, though. Right now I have three variants that I can't really decide between: https://i.imgur.com/wMPsSn0.png https://i.imgur.com/vaTiDF8.png https://i.imgur.com/U9s6gsI.png Recommendations or suggestions w...

Hello all.
I've been searching through G1-3 (TL 14-15) to buy a Morrigan. No luck so far.
Any tips where I can find one would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Techlevel 15 only, the chance is 0.90 so this ship is kind of rare

- Select the allegiance, from (at the moment) either "neutral", "chaotic", "pirate" or "hunter". There are other options, but I thought those were the most applicable for a RH. As much as I can see selecting and changing of the allegiance is nearly a must. Back in the day, I came to suspect - right...

Buy yourself a hermitage, pay your dues, and become a member of SOHO (Society of Hermitage Owners - a loose collective of rock dwellers). Once you're part of their network, rock hermit beacons will automagically appear on your ASC wherever you go. or just install Rock Hermit Locator ( http://wiki.a...

[I think Day's "Diplomacy" has something of this in it, although I haven't explored it fully yet.

For now I restrained myself to have a look in it, the chances are just to high that instead of continuing to improve what I got I start to implement new ideas

Another area I'm still toying with is the issue of cartels or protection rackets and such. The realist in me says the only way to do this properly is to create a map of different groups operating in the sector, track their influence, and trigger interactions with the player when it seems appropriat...

Looks great, looking forward to see your other updated ships.

Well, it will depend which carrier you got in mind. The beauty of Oolite is that, thanks to 100's of expansion packages you could create your own universe. I started as a smuggler, did some milk-runs and finally ended up as a mercenary. Nowadays I am working for the Galactic Navy and visit permanent...

A thought of mine, why not a company model ? Either taking over the entire place or buy a package of shares with occasional offers to get more. The Rock Hermit could be a place of trading, a base, a factory or a mixture of all. Obviously every quarter (?) you will receive your part of the profit or ...

Would 1mil CR be too much? Too little? Suggestions?

Interesting topic, personally I would be higher than 1M, some ships are already in this range.
