First played Elite on Commodore +4 in 1987. This was the best game in my eyes at that time.

Found Oolite in jan 2013 and enjoy not only the game but OXP programming also as a hobby which can give me the feeling of freedom. I hope the result will entertain my sons and you also. :)


My OXPs

You can download these from my box.

Activities

  • FarPlanets - reach very far planets with fast drives.
  • Gallery - review models of encountered ships and find more in exhibitions.
  • Towbar - make money from derelict ships, earn high salvager rankings.

Equipment

  • Detectors - show your energy on the HUD and more target informations.
  • OMGLaser - player can fit an ultimate laser into his Anaconda-class ship.
  • Telescope - extended targeting and scanning features, auto steering, sniper ring and more.
  • SafetyCatch - prevent accidental Q-Bomb and other mine launches when using missiles.

Mechanics

Misc

  • HudRequests - tech demo and requests to make dynamic HUDs and a mini-game to earn highscores.
  • LogEvents - write messages into Latest.log using all event handlers to help debugging OXPs and review battles.

Ship

  • HardBase - one of the biggest playable entity with huge cargo capacity and almost no agility.
  • RocketMiner - can dock without rolling if well centered due to the barrel form (requested by my little son).
  • RocketShips - 8 new ship, can fly faster for some cost, get secondary autofire weapons and malfunctions. ;)

I like more than 300 OXPs in total so I made an OXP Collection. There are many small but good OXP what you probably missed if you do not read through the OXP List, I grouped these to match different player levels.


Enjoy!
