Firstly this oolite is superb! Well done to the dev team

Elite was the 1st game I really got addicted to back in mid-80s with my Acorn Electron. Elite in 32Kb! But with this basic version I never got missions nor could I ever get out of galaxy 1
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
Anyway - downloaded oolite yesterday and I am rated 'average' now with my Cobra MkIII. I've got some questions
![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
1. Not downloaded any OXP - what is the recommended pack? I am running Linux (8.04 Ubuntu) on x86_64 (AMD chipset)
2. Keyboard (re) mappings. I don't want a joystick as I want to keep 'true' to the original elite (my choice). Can I just re-map the existing plist file? i.e. to get rid of the damn 'D' which is too close to S/W keys. Or should I create (if poss) a local keyboard.plist file and not overwrite the original?
3. Missions - never done them(!) Which mission would you recommend as a newbie?
4. Equipment. I've got some of the main kit:-
- Fwd Military laser
- Docking computers
- ECM
- Large cargo bay
- Energy Unit
- Fuel Scoops
- Witchdrive injection
- Scanning target Enchancement
- Multi-targeting system
I will probably get a rear turret - and maybe mining lasers on port/starbd later. Any tips on 'multi targetting system' - I've not managed to use it yet!
What equipment is worth getting next? I have about 10k credits and rising
