Captain Solo

Ah yes, nearly everyone knows this character, portrayed by Harrison Ford in the earlier Star Wars trilogy. I like Han Solo because he is a no nonsense kind of guy. The Force? Pshaw! "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid." If there ever was a world where people could levitate stuff with a wave of the hand, that would be the one place I would avoid visiting.

My Ship

Standard Cowell & MgRath Cobra Mark III with the registered name of, Excalibur. Always kept well maintained and the hull painted Battleship Grey. This photo op took place at Cerexe in Chart 2, where I'd just completed a bounty contract for 8010 credits. The mark was a particularly vile mechanoid at the controls of a fairly lethal Wolf Mark II, but he and his cohorts were not up to the challenge.

System Redux 64

Original OXP by CaptKev & Kaks. It only offered 16 different planetary textures. My mod expands the galaxy systems array from four bit to six bit to allow for 64 unique planetary textures (1024 x 512). I modified the code for extra planets to add more moons instead. This mod will never be released.

CaptSolo's Favourite OXP's

Bank of the Black Monks Littlebear The existence of this seems logical to me, plus it adds to the ambience.
Background Set Svengali et. al. Audio is a must have addition to the game. I even recorded a couple sounds.
Hyperradio Svengali There's nothing like your favourite tunes to while away an otherwise boring in-system flight.
Random Hits Littlebear et. al. Adds Seedy Space Bars to Anarchy systems which offers bounty hunter services.
Random Ship Names Commander McLane Adds randomly generated names to all normal ship roles. A must have.
Tracker Thargoid Works like tagging a ship or object with a tracking device which can be monitored via the ASC.
