Oolite -- Launching a Q-Mine

From my own game. Note: The longish pause at :25 is due to my computer struggling to calculate all of the objects created by the explosion. My computer's alright, but it does take up a LOT of CPU power to blow up a space station. :)

Ship: Merlin (OXP)
Target: Rock Hermit (OXP)

The Tyley-Feynman Quirium Cascade Mine is a powerful device. When dropped, it releases a high-scale spherical explosion. This explosion is fueled by the mixture of condensed hydrogen (standard starship fuel) and the quirium fuel used for witchspace travel. Whenever a ship is caught in the blast, it is instantly destroyed and it's own supplies of hydrogen and quirium create another explosion, or a cascade effect. Blue light and high-energy gravimetric waves are released. Typical yield is 20km.

Never played this remake but you seem to have an immense amount of money or is money more asily made in the version.

I hacked the user file for the extra money for the test. But note that gameplay is about the same as Elite. So funds can be easily come by or can be slowly accrued depending upon the routes you take.

Why did you add a voice to the video? Or is that an OXP?

[refutonefandus]

It's an OXP. I can't remember the name, it might be called "Computer Voices". It's found on Oosat Too.

Out of interest did you ever manage to complete one of the original versions ?

I completed the speccy version back around 86 or 87, many through the night sessions to do that lol !!

Ahh ! thats how you got the money lol

I see on some of vids on youtube that there seems to be a some extras not present on the earlier versions 16 bit ones included.

I always thought that a feature or add on to increase the hypersapace jump from 7.0 light years to say 15 would have been a useful toy in the original versions.
