Been a while since Oosat was updated. I'm surprised it's still functioning.

Thank you for the link, on a first look most OXP's seems to be still available here but I will check one by one later.

Here's another one: seems to no longer work: Switeck's Shipping v0.5 OXP - Ai, Economy, and Ship changes

* BB thread: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8212

* Wiki page: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Switec ... ipping_OXP

I presume that the nails in the coffin came from here:
Proposal for 1.82: support for economic changes: https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16828

I'm unsure that it is worth updating - the post here is as a matter of record!

Just discovered that if one searches our wiki: http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Special:UnusedFiles - choose to view 500

You unearth a massive treasure trove of some 1000 or so unused (ie unlinked) files which include a horde of old versions of oxp's/oxz's.

Thank you Cholmondely, I need to have a closer look first but my first guess is that many of these pictures had been replaced by later versions and the same with the files. The "lost" OXP's usually result from external storage like box, not from files on wiki. Still, thanks again, hopefully, next year I could check one by one, who knows, one or the other might be useful. :wink:

And another: M-pack (Rusties) http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Second-hand_ships

Sorry to say so but the first download I tried is still valid, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be added to the manger, I will add to my list "to do" for next year.

Please, it's not that I'm expecting anything. It's just that this is the obvious place to mention all this stuff. The thread is entitled "Recovering" - not rehabilitating! Hopefully when Dybal recovers from his festive break, he'll list it all up front.

I hope that dybal is coming back, stand-alone this project is close to impossible to manage, I already put aside all my own work just to recover OXp's worth it, vector is about to finish, but it's only the ships, stations will follow.

[EliteWiki] Far Arm ships V 3.01 is now available on the expansion manager and additionally here: Far Arms Ship 3.01. This is the original OXP (2012), no fixes or improvements have been added (yet).

Always welcome, the textures could use some improvement and the missiles are kind of overpowered but that needs to wait for the next lockdown.

I guess so, my province is already red zone, only a matter of 1 - 2 weeks more.

Aye... where I live is right in the middle of the new variant's first hot-spot.
