"description" = "Adds traffic control personnel to each system main station. Introduces the friendly voice of the main station traffic controller, who welcomes ships approaching the planet, guides them into the correct docking maneuvers and even says goodbye when they leave. Just don't linger in the station approach lane after you leave and get in the way, or else they won't be best pleased...

Recommended for new players learning how to dock manually, and for experienced players who want a bit of extra ambience around main stations. It is fully integrated with the docking clearance protocols introduced in Oolite 1.72 (if the stations enable them). Most messages from this OXP will appear only if your ship does not have functional docking computers, but a few will appear regardless, for example: Clear the lane, Commander! If you see a message that starts with 'Traffic Control:' then it is probably from this OXP.

In terms of balance, this OXP is neutral for beginners and slightly biased against the experienced player, because it enforces (with fines and small but escalating bounties) a sensible rule against the use of cloaking devices in proximity to main stations... however, to be fair, it will not impose any penalties if you pass undetected (or at least unidentified). Of course, requesting docking clearance or activating docking computers will transmit your identity to the station...

This OXP is compatible with all other OXPs, and includes considerations for Buoy Repair, ILS and AutoDock if those OXPs are also installed.";
