Flavourful Lore Expanding/Immersion Boosting OXPs?

[davethebrave]

When last I posted on these forums I was trying to get Oolite running on a dinky netbook that ran Oolite like molasses when I tried to pop all the sweet, sweet OXPs onto it.

It's two years later and I've got a new rig now, and I'm greedily rubbing my hands together. I'm definitely going to plumb the depths of the wiki again to see what I want to add, but (as the thread title indicates) I've got a question for the veterans of these here parts: what are your personal "must haves" in terms of expanding on the flavour/lore of the universe, stuff that accentuates the interpenetration (and divides) of socio-cultural, economic and political natures in the world of Oolite, that highlights history and lets you contribute to a dynamic future? What's going to make me slip into the "ooniverse" and get me interested in participating in factional conflicts (or conflict resolution, for that matter)? Anything from shipnames level immersion overhauls to Planetfall level immersion overhaul, fromm faction flavour like Commies, Anarchies, Dictators, Feudal States, etc to more mission flavoured stuff like Ionics, I'm into hearing what people here find to be the best of the best!

For flavour, my two personal choices would be [wiki]Randomshipnames OXP[/wiki] and [wiki]New Cargoes[/wiki]. It still means that most of what's going on in terms of enriching the universe happens inside your own head, but they definitely give more for my brain to grab on to ...

Communications Pack A, available from the in-game OXZ manager - adds extra, often amusing, comms for NPCs.
As Disembodied has already mentioned, Random Ship Names is a must-have for me - as is BGS.

Communications Pack A

Oh yes, definitely! I'd actually forgotten that that was an OXZ ... The Ship's Library OXP can also give your mind something more to chew on!

Thanks! Awesome suggestions so far, hadn't heard of Ship's Library at all, looks right up my alley!

Try ShipComms OXP, too.

You might also want to try my Interstellar Tweaks OXP (available in various ways including via the in-game manager).

Try ShipComms OXP, too.

Where can I find that one? I don't see it in the wiki list of OXPs.

The correct name is BroadcastComms MFD, a new product without wiki page at the moment.

I think Zireael was referring to Communications Pack A.

Thanks for all the suggestions!
