  • Tionisla Orbital Graveyard - described in the Dark Wheel
  • Jane's Galactic Shipset - restores the ship descriptions of Classic Elite

Missing from this OXP

The following OXP's contain elements described in the Classic Elite Lore but are not included for the reasons mentioned:

  • Lave OXP - vital! But is not yet on the Expansions Manager as it is being updated by Griff. Download the old version from the Lave OXP page and place in your AddOns Folder.
It adds advertising droids, restaurant craft, trainee pilots & instructors, as well as Lave's moon, Basta.

  • Advertising Droid

  • Instructor for trainee pilots

  • Lave's moon

Non-BBC variants

This OXP does not include the variants of Classic Elite for other platforms, many of which added more ships, missions etc. For a list of such ships see Jason Togneri's list here: Complete ship object list & Complete Ship List. And see Griff's ArcElite under Links, below.

Missing from Oolite entirely

  • Raxxla
  • The Dark Wheel society
  • The unregistered planet Cirag
  • Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy (unfinished, only an alpha version exists) - but you might like the Galactic Navy OXP which may need tweaking, depending on your computer.
But if you have the skills, you could create some of these for Oolite!

Tip

Read New Cargoes Trading Advice! And take some of the training courses at the Lave Academy!

Links

Also

  • Griff ArcElite - new versions of the native Oolite ships textured & shaded to resemble how they originally appeared in the Acorn Archimedes version of Elite, adds some extra ships from Elite 'A', Elite2 and BBC\C64 Elite.

Gratifications

Thanks to Spara & Phkb for helping give me the skills to do this. This meta-oxp is based on Norby's - and he was very encouraging. Others also helped & encouraged: Stranger, cag, Montana05 & Hiran.

Version History

  • Version 1.1 adopting recommendations from Phkb, Montana05 & Ramen
  • Version 1.0 Original concept, based on Classic Elite game code, The Space Traders Flight Training Manual & Holdstock's The Dark Wheel. Not enough of Imprint's lore seems to have been transmogrified into oxp's to make emulating it feasible.

Gameplay and Balance Indicator

Tag-colour-blue.png

Adds markets (Dredger & Liners), training (Lave Academy) and the player-favouring energy bomb. The more challenging (and avoidable) New Cargoes does not counterbalance these benefits.
