- Lave Academy - the academy for training pilots
- Tionisla Orbital Graveyard - described in the Dark Wheel
- Generation Ships - described in the The Space Traders Flight Training Manual

Missing from this OXP
The following items are described in the Classic Elite Lore but are not included for the reasons mentioned:
- Lave OXP - vital! But is not on the Expansions Manager for licensing reasons. Download from the Lave OXP page and place in your AddOns Folder.
- Ophidian class yacht. This is included in several combination sets, and not on its own. See Ophidian to select which you prefer.
- Planet Forests & Planet Oceans ensure that the Classic Elite descriptions are matched by what you see on your viewscreens. Not yet on the Expansions Manager, download from here
- Oresrian Trader. The link to this - OXP - has expired, and spare copies have yet to be found!
Missing from Oolite entirely
- Raxxla
- The Dark Wheel society
- The unregistered planet Cirag
- Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy (unfinished, only an alpha version exists)
- But if you have the skills, you could create these for Oolite
Tip
Read New Cargoes Trading Advice! And take some of the training courses at the Lave Academy!

Gratifications
Thanks to Spara & Phkb for helping give me the skills to do this. This meta-oxp is based on Norby's - and he was very encouraging. Others also helped & encouraged: Stranger, cag, Montana05 & Hiran.
Version History
- Version 1.0 Original concept, based on Classic Elite game code, The Space Traders Flight Training Manual & Holdstock's The Dark Wheel. Not enough of Imprint's lore seems to have been transmogrified into oxp's to make emulating it feasible.
Gameplay and Balance Indicator
Adds markets (Dredger & Liners), training (Lave Academy) and energy bomb. The more challenging (and optional) New Cargoes does not counterbalance these benefits.
