A quick query - how hard would it be to arrange the mission OXPs on the wiki in order of the galaxy they take place in?

It would make it far easier for a newbie such as myself to work out which ones to install and which can be left until later

Commander Trigg, are you aware of the Oolite Missions page? Especially of it's second part, which states the requirements for each mission, as far as the galaxy, your rating, and probably a specific planet to start it are concerned?

Of course, one could add a table with the missions sorted per galaxy, but I think there are not yet too many of them to make the alphabetical ordering unviable.

That makes it a little easier to work out which ones I need to add for now. Doesn't look like I need to rush though since my combat rating needs to go up a fair bit before I can take any of these missions!

Ah, My very same Question.
How hard would it be to just add a G'n' In front of the missions in mission list to denote the Galaxy it starts in?
Would make it much easier for programm idiots like me that forget to scroll down to see whole page.

I once wrote them all down on a A4 bit off paper for my easy refference.
Ah.. Where is that bit of paper now??
LOOK OUT!!!
OOPS..

Of course you can do that, but as it's already there in http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Oolite ... s#Native_2 I don't really see the pressing need. In short, that's why there is a whole Mission Requirements section on that page in the first place (which I already wrote in answer to the original question). :)

...which is not a problem, because the spoiler warning is placed below the requirements section. Therefore you have already read all information about which mission takes place in which galaxy, before you even arrive at the spoiler alert headline.

Thus, again, I see no reason to double the information available in the requirements section and write it again in the first section.
