The new version of Famous Planets is here! This OXP adds planetary texts to the F7 screen. The text expand on the original descriptions and include elements from Oolite fiction. The OXP was designed to work in tandem with the Povray Planets set that you can read all about in [http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=11594&hilit=povray+planets this thread.] If you have the Povray set then you also SEE the textures that I made. This version does not include the textures anymore.

I hope you have fun with it. I'm glad it's released.

This OXP adds 10 unique planets to Galaxy 1. Some planets are true to the descriptions of the novel Status Quo by Drew Wagar (found and down loadable on the Oolite Bulletin Board, a must read) and the Rough Guide to the Ooniverse by Disembodied (see the Oolite Wiki section> Oolite Instruction Manual and then A background on the game).

The new version of Famous Planets is here! This OXP adds planetary texts to the F7 screen. The text expand on the original descriptions and include elements from Oolite fiction. The OXP was designed to work in tandem with the Povray Planets set that you can read all about in this thread. If you have the Povray set then you also SEE the textures that I made. This version does not include the textures anymore.

I hope you have fun with it. I'm glad it's released.

Features

  • Unique planetary textures for 89 planets throughout Galaxy 1 and Galaxy 2, but they are not in this oxp. The textures are in the Povray Planets OXP. To see the textures you need the Povray Sets also (see below).
  • More Planet descriptions for the F7 screen than in v 2.5. Also some famous places in other galaxies get some text. Many descriptions are true to the described planets in Drew Wagar's novellas Status Quo and Mutabilis. Others are short extracts from the excellent Rough Guide by Disembodied that can be found on the wiki. Further descriptions were contributed by many others (see credits).
