Starting in a different galaxy

[Cholmondely]

1) It disrupts the vanilla game missions in G1-3 for first time players.

That's true of any alternative start. You're the one who started a discussion about starting on later charts, what's your plan for dealing with that disruption?

It's an OXP. If it is slightly "hidden" (eg, not in the Expansions Manager), then only seasoned players should find it.

2) They will use the Galactic(tm) hyperdrive once they're bored with going back and forth between the same two worlds, building sufficient credits/kills/xp, and feel they are ready to begin playing in earnest.

Will they? If seasoned players, fair enough. But if seasoned players, then they don't need it.



As regards 3, there will be some pirates, no? However few. And also Thargoids.

Maybe yours would work better as part of a Neophyte flavour on Oolite Starter? Then you could include your Oolite Equipment Images !
