It was time for a springclean

Against all expectation I was able to ressurect my old commander piloting the Boa Class Cruiser: Quantum Pelican.
I wasn't totall happy with the 'stability' of my save file so on a whim I performed a total reinstall of Oolite + fresh download of my favoured OXPs.
I even found a few new OXPs that I think will favourably alter my Ooniverse (i.e. my Ooniverse is about to become a nastier place...).
Having said that, I've been blown away by the improvements that have been made to some of the OXPs I've come to love - Background Set, I'm looking at you. Loving the new docking and hyperspace sequence.
And now I have breakable standard equipment, smarter NPCs, a whole range of exciding new missiles and weapons.
To boot I'm about to kick off Coyote's Run (as I'm currently in chart 5). Just need to drift over to the entry point for the mission.
Moral of this story: If you've been lax in keeping your OXPs and Oolite base install up to date, give a fresh download and reinstall a try. You'll be amazed.

<tries to work out why on earth anyone would clutter up their computer by keeping such old versions of Oolite around>
