Does an add-on determine our ability to dock in a Rock Hermit

Not usually the ability to dock, but anything like how many RH's you can find, the type/quantity of commodities for sale, access to special equipment/services; they're more likely to be what OXP's will do to Rock Hermits.

does the add-on affect changing commodity prices in each system?

Some do. Not every OXP does, though.

And as for the systems I trade between...
Xexedi (TL 14 Confederacy) and Laenin (TL 4 Communist) in Galaxy Chart 1.

OXP's affecting Rock Hermits will be found here: Rock Hermit (Oolite)

Thanks everyone – awesome!

I think I will now claw my way up to Xexedi in the top left of G1. I'm currently still down in the bottom right, Riraes and Retila etc, not much of a holiday resort, Anarchies left and right.

I note that Dor Reval of the Elite Trader oxp fame also settled on Xexedi-Laenin route.

The best thing about the Xexedi-Laenin run is the short distance - plenty of fuel for the burners!

Can't wait to get up there.

Just tried to cross west from Qubeen to Soladies... but discovered that it's further than 7 LR

... will have to turn north.

Near your starting area of Retilla and Rirares there is Raleen (Rich Ind. TL11 Confederacy) and pretty near it is Qube (Rich Agri. TL7 Corporate State) and Beti (Avg. Agri. Tl6 Dictatorship). Those are safer trading places than where you started.

As for crossing the void near Qubeen...I do know of a misjump route from Beti or Arraesso to Quorte, but it requires misjumping on another ship's wormhole to do it using stock Oolite.

It also requires a wormhole scanner - and a little practice.

"misjumping", I assume this involves flying into that dark blue bubble left after they hyperspace?

<nods> You need to misjump the wormhole just as you enter it - full pitch up!

Thanks, I will try it.
– I might end up in witchspace again with the navy and thargoids.

Also, I am in Xexedi... at last!

Do it right, and you'll find yourself at the midway point with a full tank (and Thargoids). The poor NPC will dive into your wormhole when you hyperspace onward. Misjump your own wormhole (easier to do as you have the countdown), and you won't have a full tank - this can be a problem!

Please feel free to share your favourite places in Oolite.

Just to add, came across a mention of Tianve (rich ind, democracy, TL14, Blue Bony Felines) <-> Teanrebi (poor ag, corporate, TL7, Bug-Eyed Frogs)

And one can always add the Tianve OXP to one's .oxp cocktail recipe and visit the pulsar!
