==Overview==
The Gameplay and Balance indicator is a simple graphical device that authors can add to their OXP/OXZ wiki pages to give players an idea of how the Expansion might affect their game.

==The Indicator==
This takes the form of an image based on a 'traffic-lights' principle using colours of the spectrum. Green is neutral, Orange and Red indicate that the Expansion will make the game harder, and Blue and Violet indicate those which make the game easier.

[[image:tag-colour-orange.png]] (File:- tag-colour-orange.png)
 
 
[[image:tag-colour-green.png]] (File:- tag-colour-green.png)
 
 
[[image:tag-colour-blue.png]] (File:- tag-colour-blue.png)
 
 
[[image:tag-colour-violet.png]] (File:- tag-colour-violet.png)

To add this to a page, simply isert the following code (specifying the image you need).



It is possible to use more than one for any Expansion, so an Uber-ship with a nasty NPC version and a silly player version could use both Red and Violet, with annotations such as

[[image:tag-colour-red.png]] Strong, powerful NPCs
 
[[image:tag-colour-violet.png]] Super-tough player ship

==Use==
There is no compulsion to use this, or any other rating system. Authors can use them or ignore them freely. However, many players do find such guidance useful.

This system was developed by Smivs, and anybody is free to use it.
