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. :)
Contents
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
- HardShips - all ship get 6 side armour, Hard ships get Hard Armour, new defensive equipments and Drones.
- 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
My contributed folder filled with OXPs from others with my extensions.
- Display reputation v1.2 - added parcel reputation.
- NumericHUD v3.13 - added compatibility with Detectors, HardShips and RocketShips OXPs.
- Q-Charger v1.21 - made awardable to NPC ships by ShipVersion OXP.
Future
Some OXP placed into the betatest folder before released. Can suffer serious changes, use for test play only.
- 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).
Recommended OXPs
I like more than 200 OXPs so I made groups and zip files from all groups, you can download these and upgrade what you need to save lots of installation time. There are many small OXPs what you probably missed if you do not read through the OXP List, my packages can help you to enrich your Ooniverse in an easier way.
In addition to the following Basic, Helper, Lookout, Mission and Powerup OXPs you should choose your favourite HUD, Planet and Ship OXPs.
Place all folders ending with .oxp into the AddOns folder in your Oolite installation.
You can read the readme files in each oxp folder for more information.
Basic OXPs
Download 17MB
These will not change the game mechanics but polish the game.
Contain libraries also and the following OXP packages assuming the Basic package is installed, else you must fix dependencies manually.

Helper OXPs

These OXPs will step over the functions of the original Elite but within a limited range, aimed to get more fun and possibilities but without large changes in the game balance.
You can skip anything what you do not want usually by simply ignoring it or by renaming the end of the specific folder name from .oxp to .oxp- .

You should download one Replacement Shipset after you choosed your favourite and maybe the addition release of other shipsets also as described in Installing multiple retexture OXPs.
You can choose a HUD from the wiki and replace the included Numeric HUD.
You can choose and download another planet OXP and replace the included Deep Horizons Systems (but it is not necesary, Deep Horizons looks well also):
Povray Planets - 5GB(!)
System Demux - 40MB
System Redux - 16MB
Mission OXPs
Download 146MB
See in Oolite Missions Overview.
Galactic Navy and Military Fiasco placed into the Powerup OXPs due to used by InterstellarTweaks OXP.
RandomHits are leaved out due to the size (83MB), please download it from the original location.

Powerup OXPs

These give much more power to the NPCs and some to the player also, use after you gathered some combat experience.
If you use a replacement shipset from Griff or Smivs then you must make a change in ToughGuys OXP which is described in the TG4-readme.txt in ToughGuys folder.
If you rename shipdata.plistforcustomshipsets to shipdata.plist in the Config folder of HardShips OXP then you get the hard versions of replacement ships.
