As you said, OSE is about ships and
equipment. And while there are sorts of equipment I do not make generally buyable in OSE (like a certain UPS scanner, or the mission rewards of Aquatics, the damage control node of the Caduceus etc.) because they are atmospheric quite the way they are, it irked me a bit that two equipment oxps were not yet in OSE - the salvage option from Dredgers and the planetfall equipment from, well, planetfall.
While on holiday, on a boring afternoon, I took the time, dared the heightened complexity of the task and included these two options with all their dependent stuff from third-party oxps. I hope no toes were being tread on, especially as you, when creating planetfall, suggested I include it into then-fledgling OSE
In the meantime, Screet and pmw57 are reworking all the java scripts due to a recently discovered problem with timers on windows systems. They can, for various reasons as far as I am told, including one caused by a "security feature" of Microshaft, crash the game without a trace in the log. I am told one of these scripts is planetfall.
Feel free to have a look at their work, downloads leading up to the most recent are strewn all over this thread. If you think something or all of what they have done to your script(s) is useful to you, obviously use it for the originals too!

(what with all of this being creative commons plus you are cordially invited anyways

)
My game has become massively more stable with these new scripts, and this is not "another RS/OSE problem", I might add. These are game-crashing problems originating in the original oxps! It simply happens more often in OSE because there is much more stuff assembled in there, and the statistical chance something goes wrong is much higher ...

Huh

I hope not?
That's why I asked Screet and yourself to somewhat synchronise, when I started to get updates from both of you for tens of scripts at a time, them altered in different ways.
I think it's really important that that happens still, I don't have the kind of java script capacity to do it myself (and, sorry everyone, not investing six months of my life to learn them

), in other words, before someone gives up on this due to frustration we better find a way to include both of your excellent inputs into this.
