Oolite Bulletins

What a great target! I was waiting for this comment! :lol: But apart from this, outside in the vacuum of space seems like a bad place for displaying ships for sale, especially because there isn't something like beaming in Oolite. So how do you get there? The main stations are big enough anyhow: Cal...

Obviously faked: You can't see stars, the shadows look wrong, and the small crater looks like something taken out of a comic strip!

On a more serious note, just one hour time skip would be enough for the system to refresh itself. Not really, but even 12 or 24 hours wouldn't make it better. The problem is, that systems tend to fill up, at least some of them. I've mentioned it in the Spicy Hermits thread, because I initially thou...

Don't understand me wrong: The problem is that the game behaves differently if you quit and restart, or if you don't. This shouldn't be because quitting the game and restarting it is something happening in the the real world, not in the Ooniverse. To fix this, the game would have to save the current...

I didn't suggest storing individual ships because it only makes sense with a naming OXP installed - otherwise you wouldn't recognise the ships anyhow. But I did have situations where a certain ship attacked me and managed to get away, and I would have tried to find it again after docking and making ...

Just some thoughts and numbers, because I was thinking about related things. Memorizing destroyed rock hermits is one thing, but I also thought about the total number of ships, and giving the player more possibilities to gain a realistic reputation, or to actually change something in the Ooniverse. ...

Accepted!

I don't have any OXP stations installed, and I never looked if there are ships for sale at rock hermits. But I just did, and there don't seem to be any.

Hm. Perhaps it's only me, and perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't really consider the ship market (better, Cody?) to be part of the gameplay. Buying and selling ships isn't something that is done regularly, because it's probably the quickest way to lose money. It's not playing the game, it's ...

I think this isn't necessary anymore!

Yes, if there is any impact on performance, it is caused by the log!

Tested it in "real life", and the metal plates / hermit doors seem to be handled correctly: // first abandoned hermit spawned: 17:54:07.338 [octree.cache.read]: Trying to read octree for mesh oolite_rock_hermit.dat-1.000 from cache. 17:54:07.369 [octree.cache.read]: Trying to read octree for mesh oo...

Thank you for the explanation! A big mass would also explain why the plates could cause significant damage when hit, and why the fuel scoop "force field" was to weak to attract them. I found that there is a significant difference between scooping cargo pods, Thargons, and asteroid splinters, which a...

Yes, I've just read it in the trunk nightly thread. I'm really happy now!

Thank you, but I still have an uneasy feeling because nobody else could reproduce my results.
