Be aware that in some cases Redspear placed a major essay in his threads explaining the justification for eg Re-imagining Laser Combat or Redistributing traffic.

Ambience (done with collaborators: Spara etc)

• Additional Planets SR Base Redspear, Spara, PHKB The in-game mechanism providing the base for the following texture packs.
• Additional Planets Redux Pack Redspear, Spara and collaborators Textures from the old Redux pack
• Additional Planets Demux Pack Redspear, Spara and collaborators Textures from the old Demux pack
• Additional Planets SR Demux Volcanic Pack Redspear, Spara and collaborators More Demux textures.
• Additional Planets SR Others Gas Giants pack Redspear, Spara and collaborators
• Additional Planets SR: Alien Worlds Redspear, Spara and collaborators
• Additional Planets SR: Earthlike Redspear, Spara and collaborators
• Additional Planets SR: free bitmaps dusty Redspear, Spara and collaborators
• Additional Planets SR: free bitmaps icy Redspear, Spara and collaborators
• Additional Planets SR: free bitmaps rocky Redspear, spara and collaborators
• Additional Planets SR: Ocean Worlds Redspear, Spara and collaborators

Equipment & Weapons

• Laser Combat Reimagined: pulse laser gets longer range, several new laser types, not all ships can carry all lasers.
• Missile Combat Reimagined: higher tech, fragile ECMs & 3 types of missile
• New lasers 21 new lasers: availability depends on which species inhabits the planet!
• Weapon Laws means that the government system now affects availability (not just the TL)

Mechanics

• Equipment by Ship Class: Size of ship, tech level and grade all affect equipment performance
• Escape Pod As Standard
• Hyperdrives: size, tech level & equipment (eg the EEU) all affect countdown time & maximum distance of witchspace jumps
• Indestructible Injectors
• Masslock Compensator: passive (neutral) masslocks are less inhibitory than active (combative) masslocks.
• Power To Engines: 50% speed boost when weapons are off-line
• Star Fuel: speed bonus for fuel scooped from larger stars
• Traffic Redistributer: changing the speeds of different ships helps reduce mass-lock

Ships

• FdL Lightspeeder: a sleeker, faster, Fer-de-Lance

Experimentation

Redspear has been involved in trying to Rescale the sizes in Oolite to come out with something that is more realistic - but also playable. See Rescaling experiment for a description of the issues See Discussion thread] on the BB with links to his code for compiling
