Well to be fair, Oolite is really descended from ye olde Elite. Also I think that's a fairly common way of storing data for OS X apps.. and yeah, EH is better Cool

w00t! He got it working on gentoo! In fact, it was the first one he listed. If he can get something almost identical (except suckier Cool) built with NeXTStep/OpenStep and Obj-C with GNUStep etc., then that means I should be able to get EH working too (with, of course, some OS specific code changes).

P.S. w00t!

in all honesty i downloaded oolite a week or two ago because it looked like it could be fun.... but totally serious here... it sucks... there are a few good things about it... but not enough to count on two hands... EH surpasses it by far...

Agreed. One thing i did like however was the docking process in which you actually flew into a station. I also liked how planets had levels and atmospheres.
Still, it was really oldish and didnt really hold any fun. Vega Strike was better, yet i just seemed way to slow and boring- it took about 1 hour of flying to reach another planet 'cause if you went to fast you'd just fly past it by like 100 light years.
