Asteroid Storm is pretty limited. Playing through some of the really basic early ones can get you in the mindset and know what to expect for some of the later ones. Generally, I've found missions written by Thargoid to be pretty good, and as for large epic missions, there's the classic Assassin's Guild, and Trident Down. I haven't started Iron Raven yet, but from my experience with other oxps by Ramirez, I'd say it's pretty likely to be an epic one as well.

Missons OXPs add new missions for Commanders to undertake. There is also an overview with mission details.

Asteroid Storm is pretty limited. Playing through some of the really basic early ones can get you in the mindset and know what to expect for some of the later ones. Generally, I've found missions written by Thargoid to be pretty good, and as for large epic missions, there's the classic Assassin's Guild, and Trident Down. I haven't started Iron Raven yet, but from my experience with other oxps by Ramirez, I'd say it's pretty likely to be an epic one as well. Mauiby de Fug in 2011

Just to throw in my own two cents, I'll post the missions I use (Onno256 in 2011)

  • Random Hits OXP - Not really a mission, but a good way to earn some fast credits (any galaxy)
  • UPS Courier - Also for a fast credit, and a steady stream of missions (any galaxy)

For some reason, galaxy map 4 is rife with missions!

Information on Missions

Oolite Missions gives a spreadsheet with all missions sortable by Galaxy, number of kills needed to commence, etc.


Note that a number of missions are marked as Deprecated.

In some cases, this is due to changes in Oolite. Try an older version from the links here.
In other cases, the original plan of the author was banjaxed by the growing plethora of oxp's which defeated the mechanics of the mission (such oxp's as Telescope, fuel tanks, or the various Uberships, etc), and in one case it was marked as deprecated. In such cases it will still work (and you can remove some of these oxp's to get the original feel intended for the mission).
