Hey. I’m new to this game and I’m not experienced in modding and programming games.
I am absolutely at a loss for what to do. I want to mod this game to be more like the later 3 Elites, if that’s possible, and I don’t know what to download or where to put my downloads. Can someone please help me out here? I looked all over the internet and couldn’t find any good guides

Re: Emulating E:D
Hasn't phkb made quite a few oxps to that end?
Ship configuration
ED hud (or was that someone else?)
Vinana hud (more bells and whistles)
PlanetFall 2.0
The ship 'insurance' oxp (don't recall name)
et. al.
Installing any one of those would add at least one element recognisable to ED players I think.
Then there's...
Telescope (cosmetics and long range scanning)
New lasers (choice)
Feudal States (mini 'power play')
Random hits (contract kills)
Your Ad Here (prevalence of advertising)
That's a start isn't it?

Re: Emulating E:D
I rather read it as implying that googling had not directed him to this BB. (Despite that googlebot seems to visit here 24 times a day.) Why else would he be asking on reddit, rather than here?

Re: Emulating E:D
Quite... but doing some of the work (or at least starting it) has some merit I think.Wildeblood wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2024 12:16 amWhy else would he be asking on reddit, rather than here?

Re: Emulating E:D
I guess. Except it’s not really an attempt to rebuild ED in Oolite. It’s not comprehensive, more a scattergun approach, taking bits I had seen or experienced and thinking, “Hmm, what would be possible in Oolite?” You wouldn’t, after installing those OXPs, instantly be reminded of ED. It’s still definitely Oolite.
pS: GalCop Most Wanted is another OXP that has some link to ED, but I wouldn’t recommend anyone install that at the moment. I need to rewrite the main routine so it doesn’t fill up memory.

Re: Emulating E:D
Let's call it something different then. But it seems asked for, and it can still be improved over time.phkb wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2024 6:13 amI guess.
