Main station variety
What are some recommended OXPs that sometimes replace the main GalCop station with a different model?
I already have Globe Station, Torus Station, Trade Outpost and Wildships, but I always like seeing more variety. I'd especially like ones where the new stations show up based on some system property, like economy, government, species or tech level.

If I ever get my arse sufficiently into gear then that is one of the things
Alien Systems will do based on inhabitants. Although you'll have to work out how to gain access to any of those systems as explained in the relevant thread.
Meanwhile
Solos Alt Stations already does as much for the poorer systems without any entry requirements.
BTW, they're both 'mine' so bear that in mind if you're considering this as a recommendation.

Re: Main station variety
I'd install Solos Alt Stations and Z-Groovy Small System Stations as these OXZs replace the Main Station with various alternatives.
OXPS : The Assassins Guild, Asteroid Storm, The Bank of the Black Monks, Random Hits, The Galactic Almanac, Renegade Pirates can be downloaded from the Elite Wiki here.
Re: Main station variety
Afraid I don't use Alien Systems because of the whole limiting which systems you can visit thing, which clashes too much with my preferred playstyle and my view of how GalCop operates. The Alt Stations one looks interesting, though.Redspear wrote: ↑Sat Jun 28, 2025 3:28 pmIf I ever get my arse sufficiently into gear then that is one of the thingsAlien Systems will do based on inhabitants.

Re: Main station variety
No problem but I wish to clarify to anyone reading this that it actually limits HOW you can enter a some systems not whether or not you can do so.
Re: Main station variety
I'm aware. I just don't want to have to solve puzzles just to be able to visit a new system. Plus the whole "I don't see GalCop operating like that" thing.

Re: Main station variety
Have you recently changed the location field of your profile information? That's a pretty bleak description of Yorkshire.

Re: Main station variety
No 
And I'll have you (belatedly) know that Yorkshire is at least in the 17th century.
That description has been there for maybe a year, I added the lenscap bit a few months ago I think.

Re: Main station variety
Yes, I browsed the wiki's list of dockables when initially deciding what OXPs to install.
