Also, I cobbled together my own flavor OXP for Corporate systems; I call it Panem et Circenses-- it uses a modified HOopy Casino and Your Ad Here to only add those to Corporate systems. (The Commie systems have propaganda billboards; now Corporate systems have relentless advertising. Fair is fair!)
I absolutely love the commies for those little touches: propaganda billboards, the Worker's Commuter ugly rectangular ship (reminds me of some of the buildings we have here in the east of Europe), the police being named "People's Police", etc. As for yours Panem et Circenses, that sounds wonderful, is it already available for download? I couldn't find it in our wiki.
The special stations in the OXPs you listed above do not have working markets since 1.82; I am currently looking into how to fix that, as mentioned on another thread.
That's great, I will keep my eyes opened for the fix.

No, no, it's not an official OXP, it's just my personally modified versions of the existing OXPs for HOopy Casinos and Your Ad Here. I simply tinkered the populators to make sure they only appear in the Corporate Systems. Gotta keep the masses advertised and entertained. Packaging them up as an official release isn't likely, though if I remember I can look back at the script changes I made-- they should be simple enough to duplicate in any good text editor, if you're confident enough to make the changes yourself. Modifying Oolite scripts and config files is easy enough; I'm not the slightest bit of a programmer and I can manage it... sometimes.
Reports of my death have been greatly underestimated.
I quite like the sound of Panem et Circenses as well.. I've been hoping for a long time someone would create something to give more flavour to Corporate systems..

Please make a post detailing your changes in the Tinkerer's Workshop thread.. this is exactly the kind of thing it's for!
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

I'd love to hear about your modifications as well. Please consider posting it in the thread Diziet recommended as your idea sounds really good!
