unvisited system oxp

Post by Damocles Edge »

Could anyone tell me if there is an oxp available or in production which will filter out visited systems or give a flag or other indicator to advise whether or not you have previously visited a system (planetary system)?

Check out Zero Map by SMax. It is available from the OXP Manager.

Thanks for the suggestion A C.
I shall give it a whirl, if nothing else it will make me feel like I'm exploring rather than just picking and choosing where to go.

Explorers' Club offer this feature and some nice related tasks.

Does zero map wipe out the maps for all pilots, or is it something that can be toggled on or off?

Wipe is a bit strong of a term. I would say hide instead and yes, it does that for all pilots. There seems to be import capability from the Explorer's Club OXP, but I never tested that.

The difficulty level is set in menu F4.
Each pilot can have its own difficulty settings. Default is "Normal".
Automatically imports the history from the Explorers Club.

OK, if I can set it to off for most pilots that's fine. But how do contracts work without a map?

Contracts work fine. Each contract mark target system. All marked sytems shows on map.

I've been away for a while.. this sounds like an interesting OXP. I look forward to trying it.

A question; would it also work with Random Hits contracts?
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
