As [http://www.aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=287798#p287798 you can see], the rejig of Life in the Frontier is coming along. We're making things special for the Commie worlds, and hope to move on to the Feudals and the Dictators.

How is your Church of the Holy Witchspace Guard.oxp coming along? How much is there left to do?

As you know, the Dictators.oxp already splits up the worlds into agricultural Juntas and ind'l Imperial dictatorships. I would like to include the Church's worlds (the "mainly"s) as such within LitF. But if CHWG is ''not'' coming out, it will merely be confusing. Ideally, CHWG needs either to be part of Dictators - [i]or[/i] to be a [u]required[/u] download (as "Imperial Astrofactories" is) in the Dictators Manifest.plist.

And again, is there anything I can do to help with your project...

Revision as of 10:24, 12 December 2022

Just to say, I've bunged a couple of your Resource Pack pods into the images gallery on the Escape Pod page.

By the way - have you ever tried contacting Charlie? I've seen his 2006 e-mail a couple of times dotted about the place. It's a shame he never finished his black hole! Or maybe he did and got swallowed up...


Feel free to use my images anywhere you like, they are not limited to "my" pages.

I never tried to contact Charlie, he never showed up for too many years. Thinking about his OXP's I better finish his WIP myself, he is even more "Ueber" than I am. :D

I wonder if we could lure Mandoman back. I had a natter with him by "pm". This really the only game that he has ever played, and the constant criticism of his über-oxp's (and his inability to programme the AI's needed to make his fleets work) really put him off.

Oh - and I really wish we could lure Dybal back. Goodness! He was brilliant...

Cholmondeley 09:40, 7 June 2021 (BST)

Mandomans fleet is ueber, significant stronger than the core-ships but so are my ships. I guess nowadays the acceptance will be much higher. His designs are very creative, not all of his textures or models are my personal taste, but I do appreciate his work.

In short, having him back in the team would be an advantage. Dybal was great but I doubt we will ever hear from him again.

New Wiki pages:

I feel that some of the more exciting but beta oxp's should go up - to tempt others to finish them, or cannibalise them for their own projects.

Specifically thinking of:

Z GrOovy HPC pack (2014) Dertien's Cobra & Sidewinder with landing wheels and other bits you can shoot off! - as discussed yesterday...

If I create the page would you be willing to fill in the gaps, please?

And - are there any others which need to be on our wiki? Cholmondeley 17:03, 10 June 2021 (BST)


Sure, if I can access the code I could complete the wiki pages, maybe even finish or rewrite the OXP's.

Nephthys station.jpg

Just to say, I really like your new picture of the Nephthys - magnificent! Cholmondeley 21:35, 17 March 2022 (UTC)


Thank you, like many times before I was actually looking for something different but this picture seemed to fit perfect for the Nephthys.

Montana05 / 2022-03-18 08:11


I really like this one:

Taranis Corporation navy frigate GN.JPG

It just exudes the possibilities of adventure! Your current batch of pictures are just redolent of transcendence regarding the current limitations of Oolite.

Cholmondeley 23:34, 28 May 2022 (BST)

Thanks again, this background just seemed to fit a Navy Frigate.

Montana05 / 2022-05-29 07:14

Just seen your new and striking shot of the Ghost Gunship. I just wanted to say "Thank you" for your work in resuscitating these oxp's. The fact that I'm not into them myself is irrelevant to the much more important fact that you are doing this work and keeping these ships alive and relevant. Again, "Thank you!"


No need to thank me, while some ships are not exactly my taste either, I think they should be part of the collection.

*Weave in a physical visit to the Ship's Outfitting F3 page

Comments

As you can see, the rejig of Life in the Frontier is coming along. We're making things special for the Commie worlds, and hope to move on to the Feudals and the Dictators.

How is your Church of the Holy Witchspace Guard.oxp coming along? How much is there left to do?

As you know, the Dictators.oxp already splits up the worlds into agricultural Juntas and ind'l Imperial dictatorships. I would like to include the Church's worlds (the "mainly"s) as such within LitF. But if CHWG is not coming out, it will merely be confusing. Ideally, CHWG needs either to be part of Dictators - [i]or[/i] to be a [u]required[/u] download (as "Imperial Astrofactories" is) in the Dictators Manifest.plist.

And again, is there anything I can do to help with your project...
