Hi, Block36, welcome to the forum. Do you mean the Vector OXP?

You don't have to do anything to activate it. It does it on it's own when necessary and enables extended functionality for your scoop - currently only for some special ..ehem.. pickups ..err.., but maybe someday it will be possible to expand the functions a bit. Anyway - the more you're in THAT business you don't want to miss it anymore.

btw: Hope you've had some fun with Pavel. He can be a suspicious little bastard .-)

Business means here ..err.. to 'rescue' unlucky captains and their valuable goods... And to 'see' the scoop in action you'll need shader support, if not available it still does it's job. The extension simply raises the number of storable things. Take a look at the last piccie -> https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=4634

Thx

Ok. The difference is ...good start, eh?...

...simply that the Extension raises the number of storable extra, super special pods. These pods need the right 'marker' and are rare and their owners don't like to share it with others. It's currently not possible to make it with usual pods and escape capsules, so only a few scripted ones have this 'marker'. ...Weak end, I know...
