The only OXP you'll wish you'd never installed

My personal must-have's (in the sense that the game doesn't run without them) are impcourier2.oxp and my personal hud.oxp (the game would run without that, but for me it's an integral part of the ship) . As a scripter, Debug.oxp is also a must-have.

Otherwise, as far as must-have's are concerned, I'd also go for the eye candy: Asteroid Storm, PAGroove Stations, and to a lesser extent BGS-I and System Redux. And some equipment items I wouldn't want to live without anymore: Fuel Collector, Bounty Scanner, and Missile Analyser. (And of course most of the stuff I wrote myself, although I could live without that as well.)

Like McLane, my must-haves are my ship (Boa Clipper) and custom HUD, but I wouldn't want to be without my Shipset, Accessories and System Redux for the eye-candy, and TG2 Armageddon to keep me on my toes.

101 exactly.
My must-have oxp are BGS, Pagroove stations, Griff ships, DH, Commies, Dictatorship, Feudal and Anarchy. It adds real life.

Seconded. And I'll add Hired Guns and Captain Berg's to this list.

I'm running 88 oxp's at the moment.

76 if you count YAH as one and TOGY as one OXP

Just over 100 (counting YAH as one). Must haves include  DeepSpace' Shipset, Military HUD (custom version), all the System OXPs,  PAGroove Staions and quite a bit of Griff. All this on a MacMini, so it struggles a lot.

And  Random hits for those challenging kills on demand.

I usually have only a handful (plus a few loose config files) for fast startups, but I seem to have 23 at the moment.

Five more or less the last few days but will be adding some to increase the challenge very soon. Doubt I will have more than 20 eventually, but at the moment trying to improve my combat skills. For the eye candy I have:
System Redux (very nice)
Deepspaceship (I don't have shader support but these are an improvement)
BGS I (tried BGS C but the audibles drove me crazy)
Fighter HUD (just put this back on after minor image changes)

And for some entertainment and a few surprises:

Must haves are Griff ships, BGS and System Redux - love the planets and moons.

Looking forward to next installment of BGS with Eye-Candy..

Up to six now. Added Deepspace Pirates and IronHide, but removed FighterHUD (again) because of too many collisions with ships coming from beneath me which I could not see to avoid. My fault really for getting too close during combat.

Lets see, I have exactly 12 add on folders.

Hmm. Thats a good one. Ive been asking myself the same thing in an effort to keep a 'bare essentials' play style. I cannot fathom playing without Galactic Navy's delightful furballs, or Random Hits' enjoyable reading. BGS is another essential, if only for the superb soundset. I tried playing stock, and just couldn't do it. BGS's sounds are top of the line, and really add to the game.

So.

1. BGS
2. Galactic Navy
3. Random HIts.
4. Smiv's Shipset + Accessories (Replacing my love affair for Deepspace ships.)


I actually REALLY like the standard HUD. Call me crazy. Its just.. perfect.

Yep, I agree (or is it just perhaps what we are used to)
