After finally getting enough cred together for one of D.T.T.'s Heavy Metal D rigs, I've changed my in-game 'handle' to Rubber Duck and am headed off for G2. Stay tuned for more Breaker Breaker!

If it could solve the travelling salesman problem and come up with optimum routes so that packages and cargo for multiple destinations all arrive in good time I would be very interested.

I don't know how I would go about that...

It might be slightly easier to produce a not recommended for beginners list

Excellent point. DeepSpace Pirates would be on such a list if I was writing it. Also HardShips... Skilled NPCs adds more difficulty too, which makes it a good candidate for the "Not Safe For Jameson" list.

You literally cannot find a single OXP that would be considered as essential by everyone. The last time I remember something like that happening was an OXP to adjust turning rates for those of us with crappy keyboards. Nobody needs that anymore because our awesome friends added the whole Ctrl key e...

Debris, I love all of those! Even though it'll be a pain to script... No pain, no gain! Disembodied, you make a few excellent points. On further thought, I've decided to go with the free install option. Lone_Wolf, I kinda figured as much. Thank you for solidifying my decision! ralph_hh, nope! :P EDI...

I've seen OXP's that advise you on trading and combat, but I have a more grandiose idea that I'll be working on when I have free time. I'd love suggestions and tips, as this will probably give me many headaches over months... So far, here are the concepts I plan on adding to this Ship's AI project, ...

I can convert it to OXZ and upload to oolite.org OXPs list...

What's the status on that? I'd done a search of the forum to download this, but if its OXZ release is imminent...
Eh I'm downloading anyway and will replace when OXZ format comes out, frag the price.

Two questions and a sidenote... First question: can the player's ship be referenced in a shipdata.plist so that it would adjust to any ship the player is flying? Second Question: Could someone point out a ship script to remove the ship after X seconds without affecting the AI? Sidenote: While tweaki...

Thanks for the help! Now if only I could figure out what's wrong with my Serpent. I set the chance to 1.0 in shipyard.plist, but it doesn't show up.

Great! But I seem to have lost my AddOns folder... Where is it with a 1.80 intall on Linux?

I think this kind of idea would go well with the crew-hiring concepts discussed in another thread. A challenge for anyone who can: instead of having the script check for passengers, have it linked to a piece of equipment like Ship's Cat, but instead of a cat it's a copilot or a ship's AI...

Well, I've been gone for a while... Homelessness sucks. Anyway, I'm back, got a new game started. Soons I get my ship iron-assed and get a Gald-drive I'll start in on this again. Gotta have some localization for this story ta feel right...

Cool! I find that rock hermits and their environs are quite often the source of interesting entertainment!

I feel as though Rock Hermits and their surrounding space are like the American gold rush days...

Had a thought today and decided to let more experienced OXZ wriiters have a crack at it before I go hurting my brain trying to puzzle it out. With Armoury OXP, we have a combat drone and an anti-Thargoid drone. I'm not sure what weaponry is installed on them, but is it possible one of you could moun...

Speaking rom past experience, that OXP is as likely to blow you up as ill your tanks. Yours behaves a lot smoother. I'd imagine it's because of the additional capabilities of the Oolite engine in addition to your very different approach to roughly the same purpose... And maybe you could make a scoop...
