Note that from release 1.77 onwards two different release configurations are available for download: "deployment" which includes full optimisation and is most suitable for those just wanting to play the game, and "test" which includes additional debugging and development tools, and is intended for OXP development. If you are unsure, we recommend the "deployment release" - it is easy to convert it into a "test release" later.

Installing the game

Note that from release 1.77 onwards two different release configurations are available for download: "deployment" which includes full optimisation and is most suitable for those just wanting to play the game, and "test" which includes additional debugging and development tools, and is intended for OXP development. If you are unsure, we recommend the "deployment release" - it is easy to convert it into a "test release" later.

  • The Virtuous Misfortune - A story that sets the scene (now included in "Alien Items")

  • Calliope - a Captain Hesperus adventure - An episode from the unorthodox life of the commander of the Dubious Profit
  • Powers and Organisations - Some histories of the various corporations and powers, both legal and illicit, that exist in the Oolite Galaxies.
  • Mr Gimlet - A wise Blue Frog aboard Lave Station has some tips for new Commanders.
