I guess the section could be titled something like: "Oolite Beginners and OXPs" For example: ------ Oolite Beginners and OXPs If you are fairly new to Oolite, and are interested in enhancing your game via the use of OXP's, but don't know where to start, this section is for you! Starter Pac...

One solution could be to list a number of possible starter packs, each with a short explanatory rationale saying why this or that named individual recommends the OXPs inside – so there could be "jblpz's Starter Selection Pack" and "Commander McLane's Choice" and "Disembodie...

@ jblpz: You see how little simple it is, and how things which you think to be a "must" may be an abomination to others. :wink: I agree with Disembodied on all three counts. I haven't installed any of these three OXPs and I therefore wouldn't recommend them to other players. Hehe, well I ...

First of all, hi jblpz, and welcome to the boards and of course to this great game! :D Chances are that 80% of the OXPs in each recommendation would not be recommended by the other two guys. Would that help you? I guess not. I guess it's that 20% that I'm interested in.. if there's a chance of narr...

But we could have a "recommended OXPs" page with a selection of the most popular. On the other hand, I have previously said that if there were a community-selected recommended starter pack (consisting of a bundle of separate OXPs for simplicity), I would be happy to advertise that on ooli...

It can be done, but from a personal point of view, I tend not to go against Ahrumans wishes. He is the guy running the whole show after all :) Haha.. okay, but it's not like we're taking anything away, or putting any extra burden on him. We're just talking about putting up a section on the Oolite w...

This has also been discussed :) https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=7343&start=105 Looks like someone was trying to do something.. they did a whole site with nice graphics, etc.. but I don't think they got around to doing the recommended OXPs part. In any case, I think it's probably best to...

This has been asked a few times before, take a look at https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=7455 Guess it's time to create a section specifically related to this question on the Oolite Wiki. Guess I'll get it started.. I'll send a PM to 'Winston' to have a Oolite wiki account created. This has a...

Oolite Community Suggestions for Beginner OXPs

Hi, Just getting into Oolite, and was curious if there were any OXPs out there that are generally considered "recommended" by the Oolite communityl, which enhances the overall game-play or which implements some things within Oolite which really should be in the standard release. I just wan...

Exploring things around you without pointing your ship at it

Hello All, I"m new to Oolite, but I went through the tutorial and am now slowing making some profit between Zaonce and Isinor. While traveling, I was curious if there was a way to target/inspect objects and ships that past by without pointing my ship at them and pressing 'r'. Any way to scan/an...
