Hermitage

Own your very own Rock Hermit!

Overview

This OXP gives the player the opportunity to operate their own Rock Hermit. In effect this OXP creates a new version of Oolite, with new goals and new problems.

Rock Hermits can be (i) purchased or (ii) pirated, or there are 3 different scenarios to try where you (iii) inherit a Rock Hermit with a mining-equipped small ship and try to make a living. The locations of each of these scenarios should mean a slightly different play experience in each, some easier, some harder.

Requirements

The OXP can be downloaded here: Link for v0.7.3 Hermitage.zip (beacon issues fixed!)

see OXP for details of what to do with it

The following OXP's are required to use "Hermitage":

• Smugglers - The Galactic Underworld (Phkb)
• Bulletin Board System (Phkb)
• Email System (Phkb)
• Fuel Tweaks (Phkb)
• Fast Target Selector (Phkb)
• GNN (Svengali - which also needs Library also by Svengali)
• Ship Storage Helper v.0.35 (CaptMurphy)
• Griff Station Bundle (Griff)

If you want to utilise the option of piracy to acquire a Rock Hermit, you will also need one of the various versions of Broadcast Comms MFD.

Getting your first Rock Hermit

There are a number of ways you can acquire a Rock Hermit. Some Rock Hermits are for sale, and will advertise this fact when you dock at the station. While some may not be for sale, the owner might still be willing to consider a purchase. In both cases, an F4 interface, "Discuss station purchase with owner" will be available.

If you want a particular station, but either don't want to spend the money, or don't have the money to spend, you can attempt to force the Rock Hermit owner to surrender it to you. You will need to attack the station, and using the Broadcast Comms MFD, demand that the owner surrender to you. You may need to apply some force before the owner becomes willing to do this. If the station explodes... you applied too much force.

Alternatively, there are three scenarios available to start a new game with, at varying difficulty levels. In each one, you will start with a basic Rock Hermit and a mining-equipment Adder.

General Instructions

Once you have a Rock Hermit for yourself, it is managed through these four F4 interface screens:

1) Mineral Refinery

This interface gives you access to the mineral refinery of the station, which will process splinters scooped from asteroids and potentially extract other commodities from them, like alloys, radioactives, precious metals or gem-stones.

The refinery can be upgraded through "Station Upgrades" (see below) for an improved refinery process that will extract more value from the splinters scooped. Refined goods will be send straight to the market, or (if the market is at capacity) to storage.

2) Cargo Storage Facility

Every Rock Hermit has an area dedicated to cargo storage. Only cargo can be stored in this facility. Cargo can be transferred from your cargo hold, or from the station market.

• The size of your storage area can be increased through "Station Upgrades" (see below).

3) Personal Ship Hangar

Each Rock Hermit has a place to store a number of vessels the owner might need to use. For instance, the owner might have a ship dedicated to mining, but a different ship set up for defense or bulk hauling. The personal ship hangar is where these ships are stored, and they can be swapped for your current ship at any time, without penalty.

• Additional ships can be purchased through "Station Upgrades" (see below).
• The maximum number of ships you can house in your hangar is related to the maximum amount of space available. If you don't have any space upgrades, you can have 4 ships in your hangar. If you have the upgrade to 300m², you can have 6 ships. If you have the 500m² upgrade, you can have 10 ships.
• You cannot transfer ships to another station, or have them delivered to you at some other location. Your ships are only available at your Rock Hermit.

4) Rock Hermit management

All other functions of the Rock Hermit are managed through the "Rock Hermit management" screen. This screen has the following six options:

4.1) Facilities Management

This option lists all facilities currently installed in your station, the state of those upgrades (active, inactive, damaged), and (if applicable) the current level of that facility, as a percentage.

• Each facility can be selected to display additional details and functions specific to that facility.
• Some facilities have operational costs. This can be monetary, or in the form of resources. If resources are required to keep the facility operational, they will be taken from storage at the beginning of the day. If the resources are not present, the facility will be shut down, and any potential income for that facility will be lost until the required resources are supplied.
• If resources are required for daily operations, it is possible to set up a scheduled transport to deliver those commodities, allowing you, as the Rock Hermit owner, to concentrate on other aspects of your station. The price for the transports will vary by distance travelled, and the danger of the route.
• If a facility is damaged, the repairs can be ordered through this interface. Repairs will require certain commodities, which are different for each facility. If the required resources are not available, the facility will remain in a damaged state and any potential income from that facility will be lost.
• Facilities can also be manually disabled. This may be necessary if you need to recover the power usage for other purposes, or you want to prevent the facility from using resources.

Details about specific facilities is covered in the "Station Upgrades" section below.

4.2) Scheduled Transports

This section lists all transports that have been booked to deliver commodities to your station. Transports are booked through each facilities management pages (see section above).

4.3) Personnel

As your base expands and increases in profitability, you may want to employ additional staff to help with certain functions. There are three main staffing areas open for employment:

1. Mining/Contractor pilots. These pilots will exit the station and perform mining activities outside your station.

2. Defense pilots. These pilots will launch to defend your station, if it comes under attack.

3. Security guards. These staff members increase the security of your station, preventing theft and damage.

• Staff are paid on a daily basis. If you don't have sufficient credits to cover their wage, they will cease employment immediately and leave your station.
• You can employ new staff through this interface. Higher-skilled pilots/guards will have a higher wage.

4.4) Market Functions

From this option you can adjust the price of any commodity on the market, increasing or decreasing them as you see fit.

4.5) Income/Expenses

This option shows you how well your station is performing from an income and expenses perspective. All transactions with a monetary component will be displayed, with the daily total shown at the top. The report can show previous days summary as well.

4.6) Miscellaneous Services

There are potentially 8 different options here:

1. Rename station: Allows you to change the name of your Rock Hermit. This can be done at any time.

2. Set beacon code: If the navigation beacon has been installed, this option will let you change the code used by the space compass to represent your station.

3. Construction schedule: If you have upgrades currently being constructed, this option will shown you when they are due to be completed.

4. Allegiance: Use this option to change the allegiance of your station, to one of the following:

NEUTRAL: pirates and criminals will not dock, but may hang around outside safely. Everyone else may dock

CHAOTIC: anyone will be allowed to dock

PIRATE: pirates and criminals can dock, while others may be considered hostile

HUNTER: friendly to bounty hunters and hostile to offenders and fugitives

5. Station log: This is a record of all activity on your station, including buy/sell transactions from other ships, upgrade purchases, equipment damage and repair.

6. Visit mineral refinery: This will take you to the Mineral Refinery screen.

7. Visit cargo storage: This will take you to the Cargo Storage screen.

8. Visit ship hangar: This will take you to the Ship Hangar screen.

Station Market

The commodity market of the Rock Hermit is completely under your control. That is, you can move cargo in or out of the market without any cost involved. You can also set the price of any commodity using the Rock Hermit Management screen.

Strategy and Tactics

Xiibli Nbilibli, the renowned hermit of Galaxy 2, famously built his empire starting as a humble hermit. Starting with mining asteroids to get splinters, and then building an ore processor to extract the valuables from them, he was able to amass enough capital to start upgrading the technology level of his hermit. As he did this, he was able to build more and more upgrades and then transcend his hermit and build his mining empire.

Red Chaldo explains in his Hermit's Almanac that it is vital to keep your market and fuel reserves stocked... and when one has amassed enough money, one can then diversify into other more amusing ways to earn a living... Needless to say, his Almanac contains a full set of blueprints for expanding the structure of one's hermit, increasing the fuel reserves, energy storage units, building life support systems, auto-repair facilities, distilleries, narcotics processing units, turret defense systems, security systems, bars & restaurants, etc etc.

Station Upgrades

Upgrades to your Rock Hermit can be found on the F3 Equip Ship screen, under the 'Station upgrades' item. Items are grouped into one of the following subsections: Core Systems, General Operations, Power/Energy, Shipyard Operations, Market Operations, Defensive Systems, TechLevel, Entertainment Facilities, and Utility Ships. Some items will need your station to be at a certain TechLevel before they can be constructed. Only those items that are able to be built at the current TechLevel of your station will be shown.

Most items will require resources of some sort in order to build them. The requirements are listed on the description page of each item. Additionally, the resource requirements can be very specific, for instance needing alloys from a TL7 system, or luxuries from a TL10 system.

Tables of Upgrades

The following tables provide a full list of all the possible upgrades available for your station and details of each.

Notes

1. Your station has limited space and power. Upgrades must remain inside these limitations, although there are some options available to expand the space and power limits of your station.

2. Some upgrades have ongoing costs, which must be paid each day for the facility to remain functional. If you do not have sufficient credits, the unit will be automatically deactivated.

3. Some upgrades have material requirements for operating. If you do not have these resources in storage, the unit will be automatically deactivated.

4. Life Support: if the life support system reaches 0%, the station will not be able to support life. Any pilots or guard you have employed will leave the station and your employment. The life support system can be recharged with minerals to quickly restore it to 100%, although it will recover slowly on it's own.

5. Fuel Reserve: this is the amount of fuel available to ships when they dock, if they want to refuel their ships. If this reaches 0, no more refuelling will take place. Additional fuel can be scooped from the sun, or a transport can be booked to perform this function for you.

6. Required after purchase: GalCop Certification. Items that have this requirement will necessitate a trip to a nearby system to register the upgrade with GalCop before it can be activated.

7. Installation/delivery time: unlike standard ship upgrades which happen immediately, upgrades to your station will be scheduled according to the amount of time required. When the completion time passes, the upgrade will become available.

8. The price of utility ships will be higher if the "Ship Configuration" OXP is in use.

- Bug fixes for scooped cargo.

- Fixed issue where credits were not being correctly added/removed when moving cargo between your ship and the Hermitage market via the F8 market screen.

- Switched text randomisation code to utilise GNN, making it a requirement for this OXP.

- Extended the amount of time one batch of process commodities will last for.

- Turned off the "auto-launch" system if Life Support fails on a station. Will now just shut down station operations.

- Added numeric value to energy units, which will (in total) correspond to the current energy level of the station.

- Values of energy units will reflect the current energy level of the station.

- Fuel reserve value is now stored as a direct LY value, rather than as a percentage.

- Fixed issue with not being able to purchase upgrades when required commodities are in storage.

- Extensions to the data definition.

- Re-engineered the entire damage/reliability system to make it more logical and visible.

- Decreased the chance for thefts to take place.

- Docking protocol is now turned on by default on each of the scenarios.

- Changed starting scenarios to begin at the main station in each system, and added some explanatory story to show after the scenario begins.

- Changed initial ships in starting scenarios to match the difficulty.

- Tweaked the resources and TL required to construct a station beacon, to make it available in a starting Rock Hermit.

- Added a waypoint to the rock hermit in the starting scenarios, so the player can easily reach it the first time.

- Added some provision for refined materials hitting capacity at both the target destination and in the ship's hold.

- When moving between days on the Profit and Loss statement, the paging wasn't being reset correctly.
