Capt. Murphy

About Capt. Murphy

Capt. Murphy is a relative newcomer to the Ooniverse. He briefly visited back in the 1.65 days, before moving in permanently shortly after 1.75 was released. However he did spend many months/years as a youngster playing Elite on the Acorn Electron (no missions, 1 Galaxy, about 6 different ships) and the Amstrad CPC, and as an adult Elite TNK on his PC.

In between times he has mainly been stranded on Saturn's moon Titan in the game Hardwar where as smurph he helped make some enhancements to the game.

Capt. Murphy is currently flying a rather battered Cobra Mk III known as 'Murphy's Law' in Galaxy 2 and is rather...well...'Dangerous'. He is a bit of a jack of all trades, but mainly engages in Bounty Hunting, Narcotics Smuggling, Escorting NPC Traders, and buying up and freeing slaves, along with the odd 'milk run'. He is thinking of getting a haircut and joining the Navy to see if the Military life suits.

Capt. Murphy's OXPs

Capt. Murphy can't help but tinker underneath the hood, and often parks his Cobra for days whilst trying to reprogram it's computer. He has as a result produced (with a fair bit of help from more experienced OXP makers) the following OXPs for Oolite, all of which require Oolite 1.75.2 or above.
