Overview

This OXP adds characters we all know and love from the Oolite Bulletin Boards to the Ooniverse. Each personality has some specific behaviour and communication patterns.

Notable Features

There is a 65% chance that you will meet one well-known personality when you either jump into a new system or launch from a main station. Some of them are traders or engage in asteroid mining, some of them are bounty hunters and will protect you in case a pirate attacks you—or attack you in case you are the pirate. Some will only engage Thargoids. And some greet you friendly first, but may try to make you one more step on their ELITE ladder if nobody else is looking. Their behaviour in combat varies, but expect all of them to be a little tougher than your average adversary.

A list of the personalities contained in the basic OXP can be found at the very bottom of its ReadMe, seperated by enough whitespace. If you like to be surprised, don't scroll down.

Personalities.oxp is a work in progress, and this version 0.9 is meant as a sneak preview, to give you a feeling what it looks like. It works as it is, but the final release may be different. Please help improving it by reporting bugs and strange or unexpected behaviour in its thread on the Oolite Bulletin Boards. Thanks very much!
