Is there some download link that I could use? The expansions manager only covers Telescope 1.15...

This is cag's most recent version:

I've replaced them all with the ones you just linked! I think I actually had a more recently updated station options, but somehow ended up with the .Cholmondely version again.

Cholmondely, your link above for Station Options is incorrect. Please edit your message to be consistent with the other posts, namely

I hate the way the configuration interface works, it is just so immersion-breaking

I created a small OXP for myself to default the Asteroid Tweaks settings, moving the settings into Library Config and then suppressing all the prompts the original OXP will display. If there's interest I can post a copy in my box.com account.

HIMSN: we want the HIMSN stations not to show up on Telescope 2.0 or on Telescope 1.15 until one is "on top of them" and can see them visibly.

cag: Is there some sort of code that we can include in the HIMSN.oxp which will achieve this?

Script_info support:
====================

OXP makers can alter the detection of any objects in shipdata.plist to avoid 
revealing mission secrets.

Stations with non-standard roles and ships with the word "stealth" within their 
dataKey or role are detected in normal scanner range only. Must specify 
"telescope" script_info key to detect it farther to stay compatible with the 
existing OXPs, for example Rescue Stations.oxp, Stealth.oxp and Vector.oxp.

Standard Station roles: "station", "coriolis", "dodo", "dodec", "dodecahedron", 
"ico", "icosa", "icosahedron" and "rockhermit".

Hiding ships need "stealth" role or set telescope = 0; in script_info.

 script_info = {
 	telescope = 0;
 };

* 0: detected within normal scanner only as without telescope.
* 1: detected in visible range only (due to gravity scanner can see a ship 
     with 1kg mass from 2km only).
* Positive integer: give new mass to the ship in kg which can increase the 
                    gravity detection.
* Negative integer: will be substracted from the ship.mass in kg to reduce 
                    gravity detection.

If this key is not placed at all then get the normal detection.
Objects with disabled detection (0) are not detected when arrive into visible 
range (need scanner range), but once detected then tracked over scanner 
range while in visible range until next scan (small help and save performance).

Oh! And is there any chance of transmogrifying the units of measurement to include Miles, Cavezzi, Torans & OU's? (Like the Galactic Almanac). How would I do it?

Both beaconCode and isBeacon are read-only

The other problem is the beacon. Both beaconCode and isBeacon are read-only, so they'll show up on the ASC, no? BeaconLabel is writable, so maybe not set that until the player is in scanner range? Just spit-balling here.

beaconCode is r/w from v1.77

14th December version (I renamed it Telescope.2.06 just as I renamed all the earlier versions...)
