Ok just come from a Battle with the Thargoids.....and I have to say...................................
Yes they were much easier to get rid of than I thought, they did not evade much and several blasts with the military laser (because they did not evade much) and they were damaged and then pow........ scoooped up some alien items................ hmmmm
Definitely on the C64 version they were REALLY a BIG BIG danger once you saw one POW......
hmmmm
Bring it up on the Oolite forums? I've never played the 'classics' to the point where I saw Thargoids so I can't compare.
No. Strict mode is boring, you can't use OXPs. In the normal mode, you can get an OXP to put back the energy bomb.Come! Join the dark side! Go into options, and set the game to 'STRICT' mode.
We have energy bombs....
Some HUDs have the targeting reticule built in, such as on my personal favourite, Milspec HUD (the original switching one not the 4000 version).Also TargetReticule that is supposed to turn youre reticule RED I could never get working in 1.76.1 or 1.77
I'll do that I think. I again had a Thargoid Encounter a few hours ago and I dispatched them.....well..........far more easily than what it really should be.
UPDATE: 2/3/2013: And another encounter against several and again......sure I almost lost all shielding but I managed to destroy all 3 ships. Hmmmmm It used to be once you see one you make a run for it.

Jonty sounds like you need a giant GF Grill in space.
Mmmm, Tribble kebabs!

More importantly, delete the spoiler. That is why we were being coy with hints rather than telling you outright. The last hint is probably a bit too obvious, too.
Oolite Ship Re-design
The upcoming release of ED has inspired me to re-design some of the ships from Oolite to modernise them and re-imagine them while at the same time keeping them recognisable to players. Here is my first attempt, the Adder! I'm afraid I don't know much about textures so they are just rendered basically

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as this is my first attempt at something like this! Also if anybody would be interested in making textures for these please let me know as I would love to see them finished off properly
Cheers!

Lovely. Some detailed and effective conversions there dude!
It all looks very simple from a distance then in close there are loads of details and greebles!
Oolite stuff on the Elite forum - controversial stuff.
Make sure you post your stuff on the OOlite forum too.

Oops, sorry if I've trodden on any toes, didn't know that posting Oolite stuff was a bit of a no-no, I just used Oolite as a reference because those models are easier to find than the original Elite ships, in future I won't reference Oolite in my posts if that makes life easier! Thanks for the feedback, the next ship I am working on is the Asp and I'm having a blast, didn't want to do the Anaconda yet as that's one of the ships shown in the Dev diaries and I couldn't do it justice!
Cheers

he's half joking about controversy so i shouldn't stress over it.
took me a second to twig but i like the direct comparisons you've done, so often when people post stuff like this you just get to see the new version and have to hunt for something to compare it too.
the rounded out angles work very well and the fins compliment the design of the new while giving it the shape of the old - very very nice job, cant wait to see more of them
I think this code will look better:

According to the elite wiki, "Pregg's 'wingfolding' system permits landing on planetary surfaces." So I decided to give the Adder fold out winglets to aid in stability when in the atmosphere. Noted on the formatting, does this look better?
