Oolite Bulletins

I have read the list of all OXP's, can someone recommend their favourite ones to install. I want to add more diversity to the game but don't need to get blown out of the sky by anyone to difficult. I have only been playing less than a week. TY

Recommend you search for similar posts like 'What OXP to install' . but universally 'Random Ship Names' is recommended. Also be cautioned - add ambiance and visuals before adding things that adjust game mechanics.

It's best to start off with a few and see what you like - see what makes your universe suit you better - and experiment. My personal recommendations for non-game-changing OXPs to start with would be

Random Ship Names
Background Set (you'll need Cabal Common Library too)
and for sheer beauty either Griff's core ships (if you've got a reasonably powerful system) or the Griff's No Shaders shipset if you are on an older or smaller computer.

Things like New Cargoes makes trading a lot more interesting, and adds a big new dimension to the game - but there's potential for large profits and large losses, as well as making mistakes with permits and ending up with a criminal record by accident if you don't keep a close eye on what you're doing. But still, it's a great addition to the game, I think.

Edit: and UPS Courier adds some lower-level missions from time to time, too.

Remember, you can remove an OXP easily if it doesn't suit your game... the important thing is: Don't Panic!

Thanks Disembodied, i like the tips. Definitely improves the game.

Have a look through this list and read what each one does. Take your time and add them slowly.

Here's my Top 25 Recommended OXPs List. It's on the wiki, with links to each OXP.
