Tourist attractions

Post by jarnoid »

From time to time the Ooniverse feels very repetitive. I've been doing some passenger missions lately just to have a reason to fly around and not just stick to trading computers/furs between two optimally placed systems. In my opinion, and I suppose I am not the only one, little details would bring much deeper flavour to the game and make flying around much more interesting.

There are already some nice additions. Tionisla graveyard, tianve pulsar, diso nebula and plannets.oxp for example. Something like them is what I had in mind. I don't know how difficult it is to make them, but some scripted moons, constellations nebulae etc scattered nicely around the galaxies would be really cool.

This, combined with travel ads provided via the 'Your ad here' -mod would give the Ooniverse more interactive and life-like feel.

Planets.oxp doesn't currently have a script (they just turn up randomly as a test). If you wanted to place them at specific systems and maybe change the systems description, sure Charlie would appraciate it. He got as far as doing the graphics, but got stuck with the script!

Assassins has 13 scripted multi planet systems, if you fancy doing some Galaxy 7 sight-seeing! :wink:
