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 freedom. I hope the result will entertain my sons and you also. :)
My OXPs
You can download these from my box.
Activities
- Gallery - review models of encountered ships and find more in exhibitions.
- Towbar - make money from derelict ships, earn high salvager rankings.
Equipment
- Detectors - show your energy on the HUD and more target informations.
- Telescope - extended targeting and scanning features, auto steering, sniper ring and more.
Mechanics
- HardShips - all ship get 6 side armour, Hard ships get Hard Armour, new defensive equipments and Drones.
- SellAll - 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 and requests to make dynamic HUDs and a mini-game to earn highscores.
- LogEvents - write messages into Latest.log using all event handlers to help debugging OXPs and review battles.
Ship
- HardBase - one of the biggest playable entity with huge cargo capacity and almost no agility.
- RocketMiner - can dock without rolling if well centered due to the barrel form (requested by my little son).
- RocketShips - 8 new ship, can fly faster for some cost, get secondary autofire weapons and malfunctions. ;)

In total I like more than 300 OXPs so I made an OXP Collection. There are many small but good OXP what you probably missed if you do not read through the OXP List, I grouped these to match different player levels.
In addition to the following OXPs you should choose your favourite HUD, Planet and Ship OXPs.
Harmless (look&feel)
Basic.oxp
These will not change 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.

Griff.oxp
Beautiful ships and stations from Griff and Z_GrOovy.
If you do not want to replace the original ships then remove the Griff_Shipset_Replace_v1.34.oxp folder or rename to ending with something else than .oxp, for example to .oxp- .
Coyote's Run For Griff.oxp fixed_shader_krait(EW).oxp griff_boa_prototype_normalmapped.oxp griff_CobraIII_alternate_model.oxp griff_CobraIII_newshader_test.oxp griff_cobraIII_subent_missiles.oxp griff_cobra_mk1_alt.oxp griff_elite2_bug_v1.2.2.oxp griff_ferdelance_new2013_V1.0.oxp griff_gnat_V1.2.5.3.oxp griff_hognose_v1.21.oxp Griff_illicit_unlock.oxp griff_ophidian_v1.0.oxp Griff_Shipset_Addition_v1.22.oxp griff_shipset_player_flyable_NPC_ships.oxp Griff_Shipset_Replace_v1.34.oxp Griff_Shipset_Resources_v1.2.25.oxp griff_thargoids_normalmapped.oxp griff_viper_normalmapped_v1.2.oxp Respray_for_Griffs_0.4_2012.06.24.oxp Z_GrOovy_Griffs_CobraMk3_Variety_Pack.oxp Z_GrOovy_Viper_Raider.oxp Z_GrOovy_YAH_Player_Sidewinder_Variety_Pack.oxp Z_GrOovy_YAH_Sidewinder_Variety_Pack.oxp Z_GrOovy_YellOo_Cab_Variety_Pack.oxp

Larger OXPs for better ambience.

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
Mostly harmless (extended game)
Helper.oxp
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- .

Most of them need shaders and several MB of disk space.
Should not be powered so far from the original ships in raw performace.

Competent (advanced players)
PowerUp.oxp
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.

Shipset.oxp
Addition (non-replacement) shipsets which make more variants from the original ships with different lookouts but without aiming to change ship parameters.
Contain the No Shaders ShipSet from Griff, shaded versions pulled out to the Griff.oxp package.
DeepspaceShip OXP contain a new font, but currently in neutralized state. To turn it on remove the "-" from the end of the filename DeepspaceShip.oxp/Config/oolite-font.plist- .
DeepspaceShip, Neolite and Shady Sungs buoys and stations are removed from the default rules in shipdata.plists due to addition shipsets should not replace default buoys and stations.

Ship.oxp
Various ships except those that are in the previous OXP packages.
Can be far from the original sets in power and lookout also, you should check and remove what you do not like.
