[WIP] The Guild of Intergalactic Spam Assassins OXP

Post by RyanHoots »

Ok, I've started work on The Guild of Intergalactic Spam Assassins OXP. If you would like to help, let me know. I would like it if somebody would help me with mission coding. Also, if you'd like to submit a texture for Spam or Spam Assassin ships, I'll add the best ones to the OXP. Anyone who helps will get credit in the OXP. The OXP, and any textures, will be licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike-Noncommercial License.

Also, please post your ideas for spam messages, such as, "Visit spam.com for great deals on the soon-to-be-illegal Energy Bomb!" These messages will appear on spam YAH-type adverts in-game as well as being transmitted across the Ooniverse by spammers.

Original post:
I have an idea for a cool OXP I would like to try. The Guild of Intergalactic Spam Assassins OXP would add an organization that would hunt down spam in the spacelanes, sort of like the Black Monks. They would have a base in each galaxy, and you could go there for spam-hunting missions. Any ideas are welcome. I am thinking about retexturing ships to add the Guild's Katana & Oolite logo on the Guild's ships.

Just got an idea. As mentioned in another thread, I could use names of spammers in the OXP, but what if repeat offenders get a better ship, and are harder to defeat?

What would "spam" be in this context?

Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

I was thinking about two types of spam. Number one would be YAH-like adverts that would say spammy things, and the second would be brightly painted ships that would run around spamming people with messages like, "Learn what your spaceship insurer doesn't want you to know. Save millions!" or, "Visit spam.com for great deals on Q-Bombs!" I was also thinking about Spam Assassin stations where you can get missions to kill spammers using the names of old spammers.

This would be my idea of a Spam Cobra:

Kinda gets your attention, huh? At least spam-killing will be easy in the Ooniverse.

Hey Ryan... :twisted: ...your personal base is bright red, isn't it? How gaudy does a ship or station have to be to become a legitimate target?

My villa is red, but I took care to edit the saturation level so it's not to be confused with spam. Killing spam is rewarding, but attacking me or my base is... not advised. :twisted: Also my station doesn't have "SPAM" painted on the side. :lol:

"I like spam!!!" Spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam.....

If a cobra mk3 has a giant hotdog or ice cream cone on top of it is that considered spam as well? :P

Saw something like that in a thread I read from (years?)ago.

Check these out:

Thanks, looks good! I'm also going to make standard ships without model or texture changes that also are spam. In a few days I'll be ready to start work on the Spam Assassins part!
