random malfunctions

Post by Riff »

hello i used to play Elite back in the day. and its great that its back,especially with all the OXP`s that make this game so much better and heres what im suggesting. How about an OXP that creates random malfunctions for example you leave a station and your wichdrive goes south and you cant jump. or injectors short out and you cant outrun pirates or the law. maybe your about to jump a nice fat python thats fully loaded with cargo and your lazers wont shoot and everytime it happens you have to return to the station for repairs.
could a OXP like this be possible :)

Hi Riff, and first of all welcome to the boards, and of course to this great game! :D

You could try [EliteWiki] Flying Dutchman.oxp. Rumor has it that all sorts of strange things and malfunctions begin to happen to anybody who encounters the spooky ghost ship... :shock:
