Oolite Bulletins

I have been experimenting with different types of ships and now I have a LONG list of ships that I no longer need or want to use.... How do I remove them from the list of ships that I start out with? Thanks.

If they're OXP ships, remove the OXPs. (= Move the OXP from your AddOns folder to somewhere else.)

It's as simple as that, and not only with ships.

yes, They are oxp ships. I just tried that ..actually deleted the whole oxp, restarted the game with the Shift and still have my 6 caudecus listed.. all are exactly the same except in location and time.
I even deleted the entire game and oxp folders, reloaded the game and I still get my ships back.. it is as if they are being cached somewhere and readded to the new game.

I guess you've deleted the OXP in the wrong place. Are you sure it was the copy inside the AddOns-folder inside the main Oolite-folder?

After deleting (or adding) an OXP you don't even need to press SHIFT when restarting Oolite. Whenever Oolite find other OXPs as at its last start it re-builds the cache automatically.

Please post the header of your latest.log. That shows from which locations Oolite has loaded OXPs.

Are you talking about your game-save files by any chance ?
Those will still be listed, although the ship will be undefined (instead of the shape its hows a '?' rotating), you need to delete the save files for those to disappear. Sorry I do not know the windows location of those, on linux they are under ~/oolite-saves/
and named like: Jameson.oolite-save

here is the log:

I did find another cache area that the oxp from all of my previous experiments and deleted it from there.. now I have a rotating question...

I found the save files under olite apps just like you said and was able to delete them.... You guys are the greatest... Thank You.

Yes, I am running windows 7 home premium.. and it is installed under it's own Oolite folder.
I reinstalled the neocaudecus oxp and the rotation question disappeared and was replaced with the caudecus image.
I also got rid of the cached oxps and the irritating suden crash went away also... I would be 3/4 of the way through a long cross galaxy courier mission when the game would stop responding and then go away ,leaving me with my desktop.
