I would rather like to add

1) a market
2) the ability for the afore-mentioned market to be recognised by Spara's Market Inquirer
3) the ability to save game (Shock! Horror!) at the Biosphere

Lucky you, the province I am staying just turned red again, so the New Year (local) is screwed. However, I am now working on a quick remake of the Biosphere OXP, including a lot of ideas posted here. I will upload a Beta for you tomorrow.

Already included, all mentioned above. Still pending cartel stations for anarchies and dictatorships (Dictators.OXP) producing narcotics.

The big problem was the fact that just before my time KillerWolf had left the scene burning all bridges behind. Sothis station is their work and there is no license whatsoever attached. I tried to contact KillerWolf in different ways, but got nowhere. I even found this "Purgatory"-site (anime or something) via following mysterious hints in some of KillerWolfs work and there were posts there by KillerWolf whom I assumed to be the same person. No answer. I assume that KillerWolf did not want to be associated with Oolite anymore. A shame, since they left behind some nice stations and ships. Sothis being one of those.

Thank you so much! I did get a PM from Mika Spara saying that he hopes find time to dig around and find his original mod. He included the

SoThis is the only OXP (other than Ring Racer OXP) which gives the Corporate Systems some flavour (ignoring the effects of Diplomancy & Weapon Laws).

I found a legal workaround of the license problem, so this shouldn't be a problem anymore. The current settings for beta includes like followed:

industrial systems, tech level 7 or more
for every 2 billion population 1 station, average is 2
the location is in close orbit, facing the sun

What I intend to implement tonight or tomorrow morning:

anarchy systems, station groups producing narcotics for cartels
dictator systems (if Dictators.OXP is installed) pretty similar but different administration unit and legal, not criminals

Apologies: a dearth of active brain-cells led to my confusing BioSphere with SoThis.

Goodness!! Your new version sounds superb.

Looking very much forwards to trying it out.

My apologies, it is taking longer than expected. I had to add some more textures for the rock-hermit and included spara's textures for the astrofactory. The markets are working fine now, a copy of stranger's medicine is included. After I finished the basic script I will post a beta for you, details to come later.

With currently a lot of time on my hands I am thinking about drug caravans from cartels and Imperial Freighters moving back and forth between stations and planet.
