Tianve

From Elite Wiki

Overview

Tianve is a rather far flung planet in the extreme North East sector of Chart 1. Its primary industry is tourism. There is a thriving blackmarket trade in illegal luxury food blender parts.

Tianve Pulsar

The Famous Tianve Pulsar

Tianve is most noted for its famous pulsar, the top tourist attraction in the North East quadrant. It is recommended you book in advance to visit the pulsar as it can get extremely busy.

The Pulsar is the one only in drive range and much of Tianve's economy is based around this. The famous Murgh 'SpaceFlare' Tourist Liners are available for luxury hire or you may make your own way there in Rental Vehicles available from the main Coriolis station.

Near the Pulsar itself is a heavily shielded, but unarmed, Navy Station acquired by the Tianveian Tourist Board.

The advanced shield-generators of the Navy Station were retained, in order to provide protection from the dangerous levels of radiation emitted by the pulsar. The fighter bays were completely removed and converted into luxurious guest quarters, bars and shopping malls for the well-heeled tourists who enjoy sight-seeing tours of the pulsar.

The Pulsar is some way from the Tianve System. It is suggested that sight see-ers bring adequate supplies as the trip can be quite long. Visitors are recommended to book early as the Tianve system can get quite busy at times. Pilots are warned that liners have priority in all spacelanes.

To see this feature we advise commanders to download the Tianve.oxp. Note that it is an .oxp and needs to be put in the AddOns folder (not an .oxz which would reside in the ManagedAddOns folder!).

Note also that this currently only works with the older versions of Oolite such as v.1.77 downloadable here
