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!

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

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

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

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

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:' />

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!

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

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!
