First played Elite on Commodore +4 in 1987. This was the best game in my eyes at that time.

Found Oolite in jan 2013 and enjoy not only the game but OXP programming also as a hobby which can give me the feeling of the freedom. I hope the result will entertain my sons and you also. :)

My OXPs

Equipment

• Detectors - show your energy on the HUD and more target informations.
• Telescope - extended targeting and scanning features, auto steering, sniper ring and more.
• Towbar - make money from derelict ships.

Mechanics

• SellAll OXP - sell all cargo with one keypress and can sell to an alternative cutomer if the market is full.
• ShipVersion - all ship get version numbers, NPCs get extra equipments scaled with the version.

Misc

• HudRequests - tech demo to make dynamic HUDs, requests for core improvements and a mini-game to earn highscores.
• LogEvents - write messages into Logs/Latest.log using all event handlers to help debugging OXPs and review battles.

Ship

• RocketMiner - can dock without rolling if well centered due to the barrel form (requested by my little son).

Contributed

• NumericHUD v3.11 - added compatibility with Detectors, HardShips and RocketShips OXPs.
• Q-Charger v1.21 - made awardable to NPC ships, ShipVersion OXP will do it.

Future

Some OXP placed into the betatest folder before released. Can suffer serious changes, use for test play only.

• HardShips - all ship get 6 side armour, Hard ships get Hard Armour, new defensive equipments and Drones.
• RocketShips - 8 new ship, can fly faster for some cost, get secondary autofire weapons and malfunctions. ;)
• ShipGallery - browse all installed ships in-game (need the new Ship.keys() method arriving in Oolite v1.79).
