[1.84-only] Configurable Populator
Posted: Sat Jul 16, 2016 2:37 pm
download Configurable Populator OXZ for Oolite 1.83. Requires Library OXP for the in-game config interface.
This OXP exposes the populator script's existing skill and weapon settings to a user-friendly interface, and adds several new ones allowing some manipulation of group sizes and spawn frequencies. The aim is to let players adjust the difficulty and flavour of their game: not merely 'easy' or 'hard' but 'lots of easy kills' or 'few tough enemies'.
Note that for some settings, 0 does not quite mean 0. For instance, most groups always spawn a minimum of 2 or 3 ships anyway, and despite my best efforts I have been unable to completely stamp out the assassination industry
