New Wiki page as missions overview

Post by maik »

I combined the information from the existing Wiki pages All OXPs by Category and Oolite Missions into the new Oolite Missions Overview.

The main reason was that I wanted a sortable table so I could more easily make sure that I played through all available missions before I left for the next galaxy.

I would propose to either replace the existing Oolite Missions Wiki page with the new one as all information (except the bit about serving trumbles hot) is in the new page, or delete the old page altogether and insert the table in the OXP overview (although it includes the native missions as well, so also not a very clean solution).

What do you think?

I like the approach of a sortable table. I would go for the first option.

Furthermore, we could take advantage of the tabular format,
for a better and common visualization of the requirements.
e.g.
Rank(Kills): Competent (>200)
Credits: >3000
Status: Legal
Other: (e.g. equipment, starting planet, completed missions etc.)
Either use them in the same cell or give a sub-column to each-one.

Thanks for the thumbs up.

I split the requirements to have a sortable separate kills column. The other requirements categories are not used often enough to warrant separate columns IMO so I collect them under "Other requirements".

I just went for the first approach, replacing Oolite_Missions with the content of Oolite_Missions_Overview. The old content can be found at Oolite_Missions_Old.
