Special note

Please note this OXP does not run properly under Oolite v1.65 or the current 1.72.2 release or trunk, but an updated and expanded version will be released Real Soon Now thanks to Svengali. This release will be version 2.0 because it will include many new features. Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible.

This page will be updated when the project reaches user testing stage and this OXP needs YOU.

Overview

It's a multi-mission-pack and there is a ranking system, some special missions and a bonus system integrated. Difficulty is easy for the first few missions, but it's getting harder if you succeed. You will need a well suited ship to accomplish all missions. So any extra equipment is welcome. And don't forget to use your weapon arsenal. You will need it.

  • v1.01 improved internal handling of variables.
  • v1.03.x was a development version and has some totally new features. Most of them you won't notice, but internal handling of core features (reminder, screen clash proof, real voices ...).
  • v2.0 is a forthcoming complete rewrite led by "Svengali" and this will not be released until after oolite version 1.73.

Background and History

Since the battle against the Thargoids hundreds of GalCop pilots have lost their lives in this merciless fights. And the lost souls are a burden for all commandeering officers. Some of them can stand the pain, some were going crazy about the blood and the cries. And some of them...

Only a strong alliance of all GalCop worlds could support the navy to meet this threat. But not all worlds are willing to do this. GalCop worlds are in need of skilled pilots to support the local police to protect their trade routes against all kinds of piracy. In this case confederacy planets got some trouble with an ex-general and his pirate group. General Harkov's group seems to be well equiped and even better informed. Your mission is to support the local police to find, destroy and capture Harkov and his group.

Notes

This mission pack is placed in the first five galaxies on all high-tech confederacy worlds. Harkov knows where the honeypods are.
