Overview
This OXP adds the equipment: Q-Bomb Detector. This detector reacts on detecting a Quirium Cascade Mine in the vicinity and sounds an alarm, as well as alerting the pilot on-screen. It extends the functionality of the Missiles Analyser, which must be installed for this equipment to work.
It is up to the player to react appropriately on receiving this information.
Minimum requirement Oolite 1.73
Why this equipment
A Quirium Cascade Mine generally detonates within about 5 seconds of being launched. If a pilot does not react immediately, it may be too late. In intense combat situations, it is very easy to miss seeing the marker on what is often a crowded scanner. It was determined that a loud audible warning was the most effective method of ensuring a pilot's attention.
Usage
The equipment is fully automatic. No operator input is required.
If you hear the siren, vacate the area. Immediately. As rapidly as possible.
Particularly brave pilots may wish to try destroying the Q-Bomb instead. To facilitate this, when the pilot also has a Target Memory Expansion installed, the QBD is connected with it on installation and when a Q-Bomb is detected, it will transfer the location of the Q-Bomb to the first position in the target memory.
Availability
This equipment can be purchased in all high-technical systems (10+) for the sum of 5000 Cr.
Disclamer
The manufacture of the QBD will never guarantee the QBD always gives the right result. Because some pilots may have made modifications to the mine or manufacturers could have changed mine specifications that are not yet in the database, analyses by the QBD could result in false positives, or failures to alert.

Update Notes
The version posted on the Wiki is the latest version of this OXP. (Updated 29/10/12).
Version 1.0: First release for Oolite 1.76.1
Installing and Playing
To play the OXP, unzip the download file. This will create a folder named "Q-Bomb-detector_1.0". Open this folder and you will see a folder named "Q-Bomb-detector_1.0.oxp" and a readme. Move the Q-Bomb-detector_1.0.oxp folder to AddOns. As with all OXPs, its the folder ending .oxp that you need to put in Oolite's AddOns folder, otherwise Oolite will not read it.
