Oolite Bulletins

Random Hits checks to see if Random Ship names is installed. If it is then it will assign a name to the target's ship from Random Ships names. The target will be described by their ship name in the mission description eg: "flying a nearly new Sidewinder, the Bewitching Bargain" and they'll...

When spawned by the mission script, the target's name is added to the displayname, so he should appear as "Sidewinder: Archdruid Smith" (or whatever) when targeted.

I use Xenon HUD as it has a nice transparent uncluttered feel. Clear HUD is also a good one for a minimalist.

I'd install Solos Alt Stations and Z-Groovy Small System Stations as these OXZs replace the Main Station with various alternatives.

Assassins Rebooted uses script commands under this.startUp to set up systems and so the changes made by Assassins will override any changes made by other OXZs under planetinfo. This is necessary as both player and NPC actions can change systems as will galactic events (revolutions, invasions, change...

If you are really stuck, you can add a beacon to the ship. Open the OXP's config file and then open the shipdata file. Do a search for assassins_rebooted_victim5 You'll see the entry for the ship starts like this: // Victim 5 - Griff's Malfunctioning BattleBot Control Drone. // Armed with 6 Plasma T...

I think having:
in shipdata will stop a station launching patrols.

I'd save your game at the main station (N on the Advanced Space Compass). Reload. Then Launch and fly out to the Witchpoint Beacon. You'll come across the Control Drone about halfway between the Main Station and the Witchpoint. The Witchpoint beacon will be there when the system first populates (whe...

It is in the spacelane flying between the Main Station and the Witchpoint. If you start from the Main Station and fly to the witchpoint (or visa versa) you'll come across it. Your F4 Screen will give you a summary of where each target is, but the Control Drone you are after is the one which went rou...

Basically, only kill who you are being paid to kill and get out! Make sure you have fuel injectors and head over to the outpost, fleeing the Thargoids on injectors. There will be more Thargoids attacking the outpost, but they will probably be tangled up with the Special Branch Asps. Let the Asps dea...

Off topic. Interesting real life AI which would really have seemed pure Sci-Fi when I originally wrote this OXP! Just to see what would happen, I punched the summarise document feature on Adobe for the Assassins Guild read me PDF. As its 60 pages in the spoilers section, I thought that'll fox it. Th...

Its this bit of code from spara's In-System-Traders (with the s!) that is causing it. var newTrader = system.addShips("trader", 1, spawnPosition)[0]; while (!this.$checkAi(newTrader)) { log("In-System Traders", newTrader.displayName + " has a custom AI, removing and spawning...

I Had a look at the wiki page for In System Traders (note the s!), which says: "This oxp is not the same as In System Trader which is on the in-game Expansions Manager. That oxp controls the markets, making them fluctuate with trade (eg from this oxp!) - and moreover, the version on the Expansi...

Since the log is reporting that the issue is with in-system trader, try removing it.

Because Oolite starts counting from 0, I think those modifications will actually change planet descriptions in Galaxy 8. Due to Galaxy 1 being zero in code, you'd need to set the Galaxy to 6 to change descriptions in Galaxy 7. Eg: // Set Up Orramaor. System.infoForSystem(6,73).description = "Or...
