Oolite Screenshots

I suppose (to an Elite purest) having planetary rings in Oolite would take it dangerously close to Elite 2 territory as they were not present in the first Elite. I know one thing though (not being an Elite purest myself), I will gladly add them if the oxp is finished <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Heh... I am somewhat of an Elite purist myself, and you'd really need gas giants for rings - in core Oolite there is only the one rocky planet per system. However, I'd consider planetary rings to be eye-candy (as are multiple planets per system... ie System Redux), so I'm with you there. I'll keep the demo in my trunk set-up, and definitely use it when the next stable version is released. Man, scooting through those rings on injectors is way too much fun!

[Cody]

As it happens, they look pretty good around a core Oolite planet too... hmm.

[Cody]

Yep... beautiful, ain't it! The mis-jump sequence is also pretty damn good!

Picture? <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//girl_crazy.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':girlcrazy:' />

[Cody]

Well... seeing as you asked so nicely. But a still shot really doesn't do it justice... the whole sequence is pure eye-candy!

[Pinback]

Very nice are they in the current build of the game.

[Cody]

No - atm, they're only available in the latest trunk version, using beta OXPs by Svengali.

Nice picture Cody <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//good.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':good:' /> What about the Galactic Jump sequence. Is that going to get an update too?

The galactic jump sequence in trunk (with beta OXPs) is already identical to the above, atm - I presume it will stay that way.

Some light hearted shenanigans with the local constabulary... I got more than a caution that day. <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//sad.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />When I went back to return the favor I was treated to a demonstration of GalCop citizen's tax credits at work... this Viper pilot made a mockery of me.I like the first shot a lot because it reminds me of a cover from some old sci fi pulp magazine " highly outrageous tales" or some such.The second shot was just pausing at lucky moment, I happened to be testing the features (custom views, grabbing screens etc) and it was a legit dogfight, I didn't even know he'd dodged until I paused, I wanted to get a screen of a hit!It certainly makes GalCop pilots look uncharacteristically skilled. >.>

Nice pictures superbatprime <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//girl_smile.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':girlsmile:' /> Have you tried the Furball OXP ? Thats a hoot <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//girl_crazy.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':girlcrazy:' />

[SuperbatPrime]

Yes it's awesome, too awesome at times when I first installed it lol.I actually toned it down for most system types, so the chances of a furball in a corporate system is virtually zero while in an Anarchy it happens almost constantly. <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_biggrin.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />When I feel like getting into trouble, I know where to go.

Up-close and personal with the fearsome Green Gecko!

[SuperbatPrime]

Nice, I love those "intimate" battles where you're virtually scraping the paintwork off each other it's so close.

[Cody]

Up close like that is how I like to dogfight - often with the hud disabled - and that dogfight lasted over 30 mins.I came away from the computer a little shaken, my 'stick hand sweaty - absolutely glorious!

Heh.. When you're moving at just over 290 m/s, 66 metres is a close encounter of the "oh SH*T!" kind.. <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//diablo.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':devil:' />Hot on the six of a Cobby3Carving chunks off another almost-dead Cobby3

Hi Diz - good grief, you obviously like a cluttered screen - I couldn't fly like that!
