Revision as of 19:14, 26 January 2015

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

New versions are available within the game and in OXZ list. Some old versions are in 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.

Ambience

  • Headlights - Tune the light level on the dark side of objects like you have powerful headlights.

  • Telescope - extended targeting and scanning features, auto steering, sniper ring and more.
  • SafetyCatch - prevent accidental Q-Bomb and other mine launches when using missiles.

  • LogEvents - write messages into Latest.log using all event handlers to help debugging OXPs and review battles.

Ships

  • Andromeda - very large ship with decent cargo capacity and rare extensions.
  • Carriers - build up your personal fleet and take with you on your Carrier.
  • EscortPack - Escort ships, escpecially useful with EscortDeck.
  • HardBase - one of the biggest playable entity with huge cargo capacity and almost no agility.
  • MinerCobra - 75t cargo, miner laser and scoop in change of less energy, recharge and missile pylons.

Enjoy!
