Note that "AddOns" is not a file, but a folder. It is where you have to drop the folders with the ".oxp" extension into. Note also that it has to be named "AddOns" (uppercase "A", uppercase "O", the rest in lowercase, and no SPACE in-between). "ADD ONs" is not the same as "AddOns".

And back to the fuel injectors (and any other equipment): You find some basic information about all equipment items of the basic game in the Wiki, namely from the [wiki]Oolite_Equipment[/wiki] page. This links to info pages for all available equipment items, and also to another directory for additional OXP equipment.
Yeah, I'm sorry, that's what I meant. I have it set up as a folder called "AddOns", with the OXP extensions in it. I read that Wiki Oolite Equipment page, and for some reason I took the meaning for the Fuel Injectors as part of the Witch Drive function. I'm getting old, and feeble minded. :)

However, I think they will tend to have more high-TL-ships for sale, and not necessarily a lot of low-TL or medium-TL ships. I think the best chance for finding a ship is to search shipyards with a TL just slightly above the one required for the ship. So for a TL 7+ ship like the Werewolf chances would be best in a TL 8 or TL 9 shipyard, and slowly getting worse in higher TL shipyards. At least I think that's how it works.
OK, that's confusing, but I'll try to keep it in mind. I figured the Werewolf would be a higher rated ship than that, so maybe that's part of the problem......though I stop at many levels of TL Stations, from the lowest to the highest. I like the anarchy systems best. :D

Keep in mind that if you want a specific ship, it is easier to find them if you only have a few ship oxps installed.
Ah, that may be part of my problem, as I have installed as many OXPs of any kind I could find. More variety, and all that, you know. In this case, I may have over done. Thanks for the tip.

I was going to say this too - if you're looking for a specific ship - only install the oxp that has that ship as an extra - it's more likely to show up amongst the stock ships in the shipyard as there's a much smaller pool of ships to draw from, buy it, then put back all your other OXPs...
Man, I may be driving you guys nuts, but I'm sure glad I asked those questions. Thanks, I'll try that out right away. :)

Some nuts come in clusters, some are chocolate covered, but it is generally considered prudent to avoid them if you have a peanut allergy! :P

Peanuts are not nuts - it's possible to be allergic to nuts and not peanuts and vice versa.

Currently I'm allergic to peanuts, brazil nuts and hazelnuts, but seem to be fine with everything else. (And I was allergic to Brazil nuts first)

Many processors of nuts have been rather sloppy in cleaning the equipment between batches resulting in trace peanuts in just about everything and only public outcry has resulted in the certification of things being peanut free. If you trust your processor to be truthful and have prudent practices in this regard then then by all means... :wink:

I'm also gluten and dairy intolerant (as is my nine year old daughter) - cooking for ourselves from raw ingredients is the only way to be (relatively) sure that you know what you're getting.

Oh I don't know. This seemed a rather sedate thread hijacking compared to some I've seen around here.

We Ooliteers must be a certain personality type...
