Oolite is an Elite -like space sim game, originally written for Mac OS X. Oolite is offered for free under the GNU General Public License version 2, with the data files (ship models, graphics etc.) dual licensed under both the GPL and the Creative Commons License. Almost every aspect of the game can be modified using simple, free graphics packages and text-editors. Oolite is designed as a small game that is easy for users to pick up and expand upon. Although inspired by the work of Christian Pinder, following David Braben and Ian Bell, the work is an independent interpretation and expansion of the original game. It was written by Giles Williams as a response to the withdrawal of Elite: The New Kind from the internet. Nostalgia, I guess.Oolite is a space sim game, available for Mac OS X, Linux and Windows. I guess I'll get to Elite by the time ED is released.Īpart from a little Boulder Dash on a Spectrum emulator, Oolite is the only game I play. I must admit I cheated early on, I edited the savegame and gave myself 100.000Cr which bought me some nice equipment.Ĭurrently, I just completed mission 2 (that Navy Energy Unit is really nice) and I'm about 150 kills away from Deadly. I had to build a gameport-USB converter circuit but that was fun, and the thing worked beautifully ever since! I was lucky cause I got a virtually unused one very cheaply. So I threw it out and bought an old Microsoft Sidewinder Pro Plus joystick on ebay. After two weeks, the pots on the joystick started misbehaving, which, as it turns out, is a problem with almost all potentiometer based joysticks nowadays. I bought a Logitech Attack 3 which worked well for about two weeks of mild use. I liked the game a lot and started playing.

Still, good for the occasional blast though and I will soon have my military laser, then the tables will turn. Again, its 'good' play, but there's no counter to it - so its bad design. The dirtiest tactic they have is launching 3 or 4 missiles at point blank range where ECM is not actually possible, and you are insta-killed. They play WELL, but the argument is should they play that well on a single player game, instead of offering a challenge - they offer guaranteed death?Ī group of ships can take down your shields and half your energy banks on the approach (without injectors) and no amount of ducking and weaving stops them from hitting you. Often before you can take down one ship with it.įinally, in a group, enemies hit far too often and use dirty tactics. It has the power, but it overheats waaaaaay too quickly. Also, running is impossible as most pirate ships at least equal a cobra for speed.īeam laser isn't terribly better. But at the start - you MUST run, groups are WAY more common than lone enemies. Should you have to avoid ALL combat when you have a pulse laser? I'm not one for in-your-face leveling of opponents sometimes you should have to run, and sometimes you should get an easy fight. I played it a bit more, the only slightly annoying things I've found are 'balancing'.
