Oh, well done! I have just docked with, and launched from, the G5TVN array, with no apparent judderiness on my clockwork computer, despite its size and number of bits. I expected my PC to ... grind ...... to ......... a ............ halt once I got near to hit.

Lovely piece of work.

PS the symbol on the advanced space compass looked like some weird memory corruption bug until I realised it was a radiating hexagon. Very clever. :D (Looking again, it looks like a Tie Fighter!)

While within 16 km of the G5TVN Array I tried to enter hyperspace and got:
Witchspace jump aborted (too close to ?).

Are you sure that you have v1.03 of the OXP? Previous versions had some oddities in their shipdata, including "?" as a name. But this is no longer the case in 1.03.

I've updated TCA's entry on the http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/OXP_List, moved from WIP to the main list, updated release date and the entry now links to this topic.

In the first post of this thread. The [wiki]OXP List[/wiki] has most, if not all, OXPs listed.

They seem to have a market that sells nothing and every commodity has zero value. aside from that , this is an architecturally beautiful feature :)

Well, that was the intent of the author - no market. I think some missions were planned for some time later, but yes, right now, no markets. Given its purpose I can’t even imagine what the station would have to sell, or what anyone would want to buy. Open to suggestions though.

There are two mistakes in the literature.
You will also be able to find:
The Views of the Worlds Array Xeabiti, Chart 2
The GNN Array Geusdi, Chart 3
The Daily Wail Array Quonzo, Chart 4
The G5TVN Array Maeser, Chart 5
The Rooters Array Tiregees, Chart 6
The StarSports Array Zarausxe, Chart 7
The Snoopers Array Maabile, Chart 8
Quonzo is actually Quonso
Tiregees is in Galaxy 7. Planet 225 in Galaxy 6 is actually Edla (#225. Edla (61,107), {0,58,71,86,112,131,155,210,233,252,254} within 7.0 LY. Radius 4925 km. Multi-Government, Mainly Ind. Pop. 3.0 B, Prod. 10080 MCr. HC: 11, TL: 7, Human Colonials. Edla is most famous for its pink Edlaian Thno Thnoweed plantations and Zero-G hockey.]

I'm marking up the wiki pages accordingly (TCA & Sector6/Edla pages).
