Tianve.oxp

Post by drew »

Folks,

Finished my first oxp for the Tianve system. It's pretty basic, but I had a lot of fun doing it. I'm just awaiting a clearance for oosat 2 so will upload shortly...

However:
Visit the galaxy famous Tianve Pulsar, the only known pulsar in accessible space. Fly out yourself (select ' P' on your advanced compass) or take a trip on one of Tianve's luxurious Tourist liners and make a weekend of it!

The pulsar is a fair old trek out of system, so take appropriate amounts of supplies, victuals and food for the trip. It can also get quite crowded at certain times of the year, so we advise visitors to book early.

Gravitational disturbances near the pulsar can be extreme, we advise not going closer than the orbit vector of the Tianve monitoring station. Circular tourist routes are easy to spot, simply follow the official liners.

Tianve is home to the famous combateer, 'Rebecca Weston'.

Please note, Zero-G Cricket is banned here.
Thanks to aegidian and murgh for donated models.

Cheers,

Drew.

:idea: You should provide a savefile along with OXP, so it will be possible to see all of your work... :idea:

yes, unless it's your will that you have to earn the vista only by enduring a long trip to the other corner of the galaxy, it would be nice to be offered a CommanderSave located nearby.

Save file included and readme file moved according to instructions!

Look for 'Tianve Tourist Rentals' savefile.

Cheers,

Drew.

Fantastic stuff! Did you use Aegidian's military base model? I love that & am really happy that it found a (pacifist) home 8)

Cosmic event OXP's are a real boon to Oolite

Thanks

Yep, the Tianve pulsar station needed extremely powerful shielding so a decommissioned military base seemed to make sense. :wink:

The Tianve liners were bought as a job lot from Murgh shipyards and retrofitted with port and starboard triple-ply plexiglass ultrawide windows for the best views.

I'd love to do some more 'astro' phenomena, so as the capabilities of the game increase I'll do some more. Planets with userdefineable atmosphere parameters would be great for nebulaes.

The Tianve system is home to quite a number of astronomical rarities, don't you know! :wink:

Cheers,

Drew.

But are they kitted out to the same spec as DeMug's Coachwhip liners including wall to wall fur?
