Overview

This OXP aims to help players who are in the market for a new ship by providing a visual, side-by-side comparison of ship specifications.

A new interface screen "Ship Comparisons" allows the details of up to three ships to be displayed. Details included are:

  • Max speed
  • Injector speed
  • Max thrust
  • Max pitch
  • Max roll
  • Max yaw
  • Weapon positions
  • Missile pylons
  • Cargo capacity (plus expansion size)
  • Energy banks
  • Energy recharge rate
  • Hyperspace capable

Overriding Data

If a particular ship needs to have it's own entry, even if it would normally be listed under another ship type, you can override the list entry for that data key. Put this into the startUpComplete routine of your OXP:

 var sc = worldScripts.ShipComparison;
 if (sc) {
   // add an override for a particular ship data key, giving it a new name
   sc._override["noshaders_z_groovy_cobra1_baker_player"] = "Cobra Mark I Special";
   // optionally, if you need to override the extra cargo capacity or the weapon facings, use the following
   // data element 1 is the additional cargo available for this ship type (5 in the example)
   // data element 2 is the weapon facings on this ship type (1 = forward only, 3 = forward and aft, 15 = all) (15 = All in the example)
   sc._extraData["Cobra Mark I Special"] = [5, 15];
 }

Installation

Place the 'ShipComparison.oxz' into your 'AddOns' folder and when you start the game, hold down 'Shift' until you see the spinning Cobra.
Alternatively, you can download the expansion using the expansion pack manager in the game itself.
