Guide to Unlisted OXPs
Here are some links to some OXPs which are not in the in-game Expansions Manager. Not all work!

Well over 50, but perhaps a third are either broken or unfinished.
Activities

Programming
- CompressedJSON.zip (Phkb's collection below, 2016) is a utility designed for OXP developers. Many OXP's use JSON to package up data into the save game file, and then extract it again when loading the game. JSON is a rather bulky format, though, and it doesn't take long for your data to start making your save game file quite large. Compressed JSON simply reduces the amount of space the JSON data takes up, thereby reducing your save game file. See the readme file inside the ZIP for details on how to use it.
- See Norby's, Svengali's & Phkb's collections below for a large assortment of tools
- Planet rotation tester.oxp by Eric Walch (2010): BB thread.
- Mission Offering Protocol & Manual by Eric Walch (2007): BB thread.
- Griff's resources for those designing ships (2010-8).
Named Collections
Note on downloading from Box: if one cannot download individual oxp's from Box, try deselecting your desired oxp and clicking the "download" button in the top right corner of the page. You may be rewarded with a single bulky download of each and every file in that collection instead!
