-==Asteroid Mining Tips==
+== Asteroid Mining Tips ==
 An asteroid can be destroyed with any weapon and a small bounty is paid by GalCop for ridding the space lanes of a navigational hazard. When an asteroid is destroyed it often splits into chunks of rock, identified by your ID computer as a “boulder”. These boulders are too large to fit through the mouth of a [[Fuel_Scoops|Fuel & Matter Scoop]]. Commanders who merely vaporise boulders are however missing out on a potential source of wealth. Canny Commanders cut "boulders" into “splinters” and scoop them!
@@ Line 17: / Line 17: @@
 Standard Mining Guild procedure is to fit a [[Mining_Lasers|Mining Laser]] to the starboard or port view. First fire on the asteroid with your fore mounted combat weapon to weaken it. Then use your   [[Mining_Lasers|Mining Laser]] to split the asteroid into boulders. Cut the boulders into splinters with your [[Mining_Lasers|Mining Laser]], and these small chunks of rock can be dredged aboard with a [[Fuel_Scoops|Fuel & Matter Scoop]]. If you have an [[Ore_Processor|Ore Processor]] fitted, the materials from the splinter can be further refined.

 "Noob". The new asteroids are no more a threat to the player than standard asteroids; the OXP just adds a greater variety to the graphics and makes some asteroids more valuable to mine. The mission featured by the OXP should not put a young Jameson in any great danger, although to complete the mission you would probably need a [[Beam_Laser|Beam Laser]] or better and a couple of [[Missile|Standard Missiles]].

-==Installing and Playing==
+== Installing and Playing ==
 To play the OXP, unzip the download file. This will create a folder named "AsteroidStorm4.xx". Open this folder and you will see a folder named "AsteroidStorm.oxp" and a readme. Move the AsteroidStorm.oxp folder to AddOns. As with all OXPs, it’s the folder ending .oxp that you need to put in Oolite's AddOns folder, otherwise Oolite will not read it.
 If you are updating from an old version of Asteroid Storm OXP, then the first time you load up Oolite after installing hold down the SHIFT key until you see the rotating Cobra Mk III on the start screen. This ensures that Oolite’s cache is updated.
-==Update Notes==
+== Tweaks ==
 * Version 4.03 now deals correctly with the missing energy bomb in Oolite versions after 1.76.
 * Version 4.02 has new mapped asteroids. Same texture but now added repeating over the asteroids, giving a higher resolution for the boulders with the same texture size. For most asteroids the resolution is 3x higher than before.
@@ Line 41: / Line 41: @@
 * Version 3.45 is an updated version over the version on Oosat2, fixing a few minor bugs, adding new features, and enhanced scenarios for Oolite 1.70 and above using Javascript.<br>Commander Eric Walch’s mission clash prevention code is added to make sure the OXP does not clash with other OXPs which display mission briefing screens.<br>Texture name files are also re-named (so as to avoid a case-sensitivity bug on Unix).<br>Displaced small asteroids can be seen whizzing though the spacelanes of the system suffering from "deadly asteroid storms" and a greater than average number of asteroids also appear in this system, making a trip to it a little more worthwhile for miners.
