Re: Corporate Systems Flavour OXP

Resources for an OXP Just wanted to copy this post here as I see it as relevant. ... Corporate States are strange though - on the one hand they are the most policed of all systems, yet probably the most ruthless (the way the Sirius Corporation is described in Frontier is a good example) and in a wo...

Re: How to fight?

A paddling pool is not going to help -- my current problem is that I have accepted an contract and find un-avoidable, injector-equipped assassins at almost every witchpoint. I'll try the "skilled NPCs" ...looks like it's default setting is "lowest skill for everyone". I've not d...

Re: Wishes, pleas, suggestions and demands!

Wiggy's response to one of Dr Nil's 2006 many suggestions for improvements (most of which we now enjoy). More of the game OXP controlled to let modders make systems without planets or stars or cops or even populating systems with custom plists and e.g. allow for between system trading posts. Further...

Re: How to fight?

Is there difficulty setting somewhere? Yes indeed. Sort of! I've never tried it, but cim's Skilled NPCs OXP might be tweakable to make combat easier . You will need Library.OXP to do this (via the "Config for AddOns" option on your docked F4 screen). See OXP NPC Combat AI for details of a...

Re: [Release] Imperial Astrofactory 2.0

You might notice I feel strongly about this. I can't deny it. While I admire what stranger did in manipulating the Oolite engine to do things it had never truly done before, I feel that the things lost in the process were too high a price to pay. For me anyway. Which is why I don't run a SW setup n...

Re: Oolite 1.91.0.7611-240524-818d771/Ubuntu 22 just crashed

Oh! And Hiran, just looking down your list of Expansions by Name , I think that most of your "No Wiki" OXPs have their own page, with most of the remainder having a dedicated section on another page ( eg Fonts has every single font listed with an example so that you can compare them). And ...

Re: [Release] Imperial Astrofactory 2.0

There are only a handful of stations which end up in obscure places in Stranger's World. Is it really worth rejigging the entire OXP suite as a scenario just for that? Remember, a scenario excludes every single jolly OXP not listed as "allowed"! Thus you can't add in Aaron Aarts' Amazing A...

Re: Navigation Beacons MFD

Relax.... P.S. I would have chimed in earlier but I'm not receiving any email notification except for private messages. Good to see you back! 1) should this OXP be classified as a "cheat" for the moment? 2) your email notifications should be "settable" on this new Bulletin Board...

ILS Instrument Landing System is not installed. I just installed Save In Flight and will see how it goes. Ok that OXP is poorly documented. No information URL, no wiki page. After all I found a readme that I just copied verbatim to the Wiki . Save In Flight OXP Wiki Page History: (cur | prev) 02:43...

Re: Can I become a licensed Arms Dealer? (nope)

If you have Smugglers OXP loaded, I think you can buy a waiver allowing you to trade just the once in firearms (or other such commodities). Firearms also become legal in a number of systems. But Smugglers does make trade rather more complex - you need to keep an eye out on your F6/F7 screens to see ...

Re: [Release] Imperial Astrofactory 2.0

The Imperial Astrofactories are happily situated on the space lanes between the witchpoint beacon and the station.

But! The Revolutionary Astrofarms are flung into the outer darknesses in the middle of nowhere (Stranger's World).
