I Play Oolite (v1.82)

I command the Scarlet Tambourine. Not your ordinary Cobra Mk. III; it is, in fact, the XT conversion, which made it a wee bit tougher and faster. My ship and I are one and we make our living honestly. We are not above ferrying passengers, trading in goods or delivering other beings documents of dubious importance. This allows us to see the ooniverse and gain knowledge and experience imperative to our survival. The only jobs we no longer do is that of being a hired assassin.

Journal:
2086430: A very brief stay in chart 6 (Solans), heading for a Rock Hermit in the Soesgera system (image above). From there making for Inesbe, a tech level 12, Rich Industrial world, to have a Galactic Hyperdrive installed. Soesgera is a good example of the beautiful, procedurally generated planets native to the core game. The Rock Hermit is my own creation, but most of it was borrowed from Anarchies OXP where it served as a salvage station. It is one of only a few objects in my ooniverse that was not made by Griff Industries. It rocks!

CaptSolo's Favourite OXP's

Background Set	Audio and video enhance the immersion factor of the game. I even recorded a couple robotized voice overs: "Red Alert!" and "Incoming!"
Camera Drones	Allow for different perspectives on the action by complementing your ship's hull-mounted cameras and sensors.
Comms Pack A	Adds a range of communications messages to NPCs using the new communications routines.
Extra Fuel Tanks	It can get nasty out there and sometimes one needs a topper for the witchspace fuel injectors.
Griff's All-in-one Replacement Shipset	My personal edition for Oolite 1.82+, maintained periodically with newer resources and insured compatibility with core AI's and roles.
Griff's OXP Ships	My personal bundled edition originally from ArcElite, Elite 2, and Elite-A (Bug, Gnat, Griffin Mk I, Hognose, Ophidian, and Wolf Mk II).
Hyperradio	There's nothing like your favourite tunes to while away a boring in-system flight. I even like music during combat.
Navigation MFD	This piece of kit will display additional information on the ASC target. Available from the Expansion Manager.
PAGroove's Stations OXP	My personal edition for Oolite 1.82. Replaces by condition the three main types of GALCOP stations.
Random Ship Names	Gives all ships of normal roles a randomly generated name. Some are plain jane but others are quite descriptive.
Station Ads OXP	Decorates system main stations with in-game ads, the number depending on tech level.
ZygoUgo's Combined AddOns	My personal bundled edition combining ZygoUgo's Asteroids and his Cinematic Skies & Nebula OXP's. These are available separately from the BB.
