So I'm asking for just a little more patience.

Ah okay, cool... I have my own copy, I just wanted to link to the OXP.

And there it is. Have fun!

@ Commander McLane and SandJ - I have downloaded this and look forward to playing it tonight.

This is a great idea

One suggestion that you may or may not want to take on board at some stage is that you could have a level where the asteroids are replaced with derelict ships.

Thanks for the feedback!

The advantage of asteroids is that they break up into boulders, which subsequently break up into splinters. This behaviour mimics well the behaviour of the old video game, where big asteroids broke up into medium sized asteroids, which broke up into small asteroids.

What would happen with a derelict ship? In normal Oolite it doesn't break up into anything.

Well, you could start off with a behemoth or something else very big with a dock, and then spawn smaller ships from that. Only two stages, but it would be something different.

You'd be left with a bunch of cargo-pods, surely..
