Oolite Bulletins

I'm planning an OXP that may circumvent the single-ship system in Oolite. However, before I dive into that too deeply, I thought I would ask if there would be some way for a player to own multiple ships if he/she had access to a garage or personal base (my OXP). Perhaps, as an addition, have a means by which a player can "park" a ship at a space station for a time?

Here's how I do it.

I make a custom ship oxp with the ships I want to switch between.
In the shipyard.plist, I set the TL very low and the chance very high, so they appear almost anywhere in the shipyards. The price is set low, to cover docking fees and the like.

It's a kludge approach, I know, and often I have to re-iron my ass when I switch ships.

It's possible to make a script reward missing equipment when you re-buy your old ship.
Use mission variables to store all the equipment the old ship had and so long as the equipment OXPs are installed when you do this it should work.

Yeah, no, those are not quite it. I know it would be possible to write the data to the file, but...oh dang, well, maybe I'll just make the program mod myself and submit it for official consideration...
