Uk Eliter:

Make interstellar space more exciting!

[[File:Genship.png|thumb|300px|right|Interstellar Tweaks interacts intelligently with many other OXPs, adding depth to Oolite. The little blob on the upper right is an enormous Galactic Navy [[Behemoth]]! ]]

==Overview==

This OXP makes misjumps a little more likely and, fairly often, generates one of various (mostly) exciting witchspace scenarios.

==Requirements==
* The expansion pack requires Oolite version ''1.82'' or above.
* The pack draws upon various other expansion packs, if they are installed. (See below.)

==General notes==

The scenarios at issue include, but are not limited to, the following things happening within interstellar space.

* Encountering the navy battling thargoids (though some other OXPs provide something on those lines).
* Having your escape pod rescued. (Hooray! The chance of rescue is increased by having the [https://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Interstellar_help_OXP#Need_help_yourself.com 'electronic thumb'].)
* Encountering bounty hunters. (Hooray?)
* Encountering pirates. (Boo?)
* Developing 'witchspace sickness'. (Definitely boo.)
* Ending up in a high radiation area, which can kill you whilst you are there but has no long-lasting effects. (So, mostly: boo.)
* Meeting rebel thargoids. (Hooray!)
* Finding derelicts within interstellar space.

Also, though this is something that happens when one leaves witchspace: this OXP gives you a chance of ending up near - or, er, very near - the system's sun. (Er . . handy?)

==Relation to other expansion packs==

'''OXPs which Interstellar Tweaks enhances/uses'''

Interstellar Tweaks can draw upon all of the following (and indeed, but in a fairly trivial way, a few that I do not list here) - but it ''requires'' none of them. Most but not all of the packs are available via the in-game Expansions Manager. (The remainder will have to be downloaded and installed manually. The in-game expansions manager will suggest - as accompaniments to Interstellar Tweaks - only those packs that are available via that manager.)

Interstellar help OXP

== Introduction ==

Interstellar space is a treacherous territory, and misjumps are dangerous. It's not only what you may meet out there, it's the sheer fact that you may get stranded in the vast voids of interstellar space forever. Initiating a witchjump and creating the tunnel through witchspace consumes fuel. So if—for whatever reason—the tunnel collapses halfway on your journey to the next planet, you are thrown out somewhere in the middle of nowhere, in the vast realms of ghastly, pale green half-light, your fuel tanks nearly depleted, possibly with not enough fuel left to create another tunnel to the closest system.

Many pilots have just vanished without a trace in the boundless void. Some ships have said to be found drifting into the outer zones of an adjacent system—but only decades after their life support systems ran out of energy.

So the family of space-farers gets even closer together in the uncanny zone of interstellar space, where everybody is far away from home, and everybody may find himself at the mercy of fellow captains, or be lost in space forever. One for all, and all for one—although for anybody in the dire straits of need for fuel help comes with a price.

== Overview ==

==== Helping others ====

This OXP introduces some interaction with fellow commanders in interstellar space. You may meet another trader who got stuck in interstellar space who sends distress calls and asks for your help. He is willing to pay a good price for some fuel from your tanks, or for a ride in your wake. If you are in the mood to help him, just answer his call by flying towards him. You will have to get closer than 1000 meters in order to make clear that you are there for him.

He then will either be wanting to buy some fuel from you, or request to follow through your wormhole, after you have jumped to your destination. If you agree to sell him some of your fuel reserves, you just have to get very close to him. So close that he can scoop any of the fuel you are venting from your tanks. The process starts automatically, monitored by your ship's computer, as soon as you have approached him closely enough. If you want to end the transaction you just have to turn your nose away from his scoops. If you do not do so, he will take all the fuel you have until his tanks are completely filled. The usual price for a fuel transfer so far away from the next supplier is ten times what you would pay at a main station.

If he asks you for a witchspace ride, all you have to do is jump to your current destination. After you have jumped to any system within your reach, he will follow you through your wormhole (note that he will not jump out at the exact same location as you; wormhole ends are a tiny little bit fuzzy, which means that ships leaving the same wormhole will all be somewhere in the vicinity of the witchpoint, but not at the exact same place). You will have earned the eternal gratitude of a fellow trader, and a financial reward, which will always be enough to cover your fuel costs for the jump.

==== Need help yourself? ====

But what if you are stuck in interstellar space yourself? Do not despair, that's where your ''Electronic Thumb'' comes in handy. Available from any equipment store of techlevel 7 or higher, the Electronic Thumb is a short squat black rod, smooth and matte with a couple of flat switches and dials at one end. Just activate it any time during flight to flag down passing spacecraft to either buy fuel from them or hitch a ride in their wormhole. Note that the Electronic Thumb only works if you need it, that is in interstellar space. If you're in a system it does nothing.

After you have activated it, just wait a little for a ship approaching you with the offer to help you. Again you have to close in to him in order to accept the offer. Depending on his mood he may offer you to buy some of his fuel reserves, or to take a ride through his wormhole. This time it is you, of course, who has to pay the price.

Again, if you agreed on a fuel transaction, you have to get close enough to scoop the fuel he is going to vent from his tanks, and again your ship's computer takes care of monitoring the transaction. You can end the transfer anytime, by pointing your ship's nose (and therefore your fuel scoops) away from your donor. The transaction will also end if you run out of money. And your benefactor will not sell all his fuel—he is going to need some for his own journey, after all.

If the offer is to take a ride in his wormhole, he will initiate his jump and invite you to follow him. In that case you are supposed to pay him on the other side. Oh, in order to allow him to initiate the jump sequence it may be necessary that you get out of his way first.

In any case it would be considered very rude to shoot at your benefactor or try to extract his fuel otherwise. The attempt won't be successful.

== Minimum Requirements ==
*Interstellar_help.oxz v2.3 requires at least Oolite 1.80.
*Interstellar_help.oxp v 2.1 requires at least [[Oolite]] 1.75.1. For Oolite versions below that you can still use interstellar_help v 2.0.

== Installation ==
*Downloadable through the in-game [[Expansions Manager]]
*For the older oxp's: Move or copy the file interstellar_help.oxp from the download folder to the AddOns folder inside the Oolite main folder. Restart Oolite.

*Download [[Media:Interstellar_Help.oxz|Interstellar_Help.oxz]] v2.3
*[http://app.box.com/shared/1ug835jxb5 Interstellar_help v 2.1] is available for download via box.com.
*[http://app.box.com/shared/viqz8fhujv Interstellar_help v 2.0] is also still available via box.com.

Interstellar Tweaks

2026-08-02T05:09:50Z

Uk Eliter: /* Other points */

Rather more excitement in interstellar space!

==Overview==

This OXP makes misjumps a little more likely and, fairly often, generates one of various (mostly) exciting witchspace scenarios.

==Requirements==
* The expansion pack requires Oolite version ''1.82'' or above.
* The pack draws upon various other expansion packs, if they are installed. (See below.)

==General notes==

The scenarios at issue include, but are not limited to, the following things happening within interstellar space.

* Encountering the navy battling thargoids (though some other OXPs provide something on those lines).
* Having your escape pod rescued. (Hooray! And your chances of rescue are increased by having - merely possessing - the 'electronic thumb'; a different OXP makes that equipment available.)
* Encountering bounty hunters. (Hooray?)
* Encountering pirates. (Boo?)
* Developing 'witchspace sickness'. (Definitely boo.)
* Ending up in a high radiation area, which can kill you whilst you are there but has no long-lasting effects. (So, mostly: boo.)
* Meeting rebel thargoids. (Hooray!)
* Finding derelicts within interstellar space.

Also, though this is something that happens when one leaves witchspace: this OXP gives you a chance of ending up near - or, er, very near - the system's sun. (Er . . handy?)

==Relation to other expansion packs==

'''Packs of which Interstellar Tweaks can make use'''

Interstellar Tweaks can draw upon alll of the following (and indeed, but in a fairly trivial way, a few that I do not list here) - but it ''requires'' none of them. Most but not all of the packs are available via the in-game manager. (The remainder will have to be downloaded and installed manually. The in-game manager will suggest - as accompaniments to Interstellar Tweaks - only those packs that are available via that manager.)

** [[Armoury]]
** [[Behemoth]]
** [[Breakable 'Standard' Equipment OXPs|Breakable WitchDrive]]
** [[BGS]]
** [[Escape Pod Locator OXP]]
** [[Extra Thargoids]]
** [[Fer-de-Lance 3G OXP]]
** [[Fuel Collector OXP]]
** [[Galactic Navy]]
** [[Generation Ships OXP]];
** [[User:Griff|Griff's]] shipset expansion packs (for, especially, nice looking thargoids!);
** [[Interstellar help OXP]]* with its 'Electronic Thumb'
** [[Military Fiasco]]
** [[Misjump Analyser]]
** [[Missionaries OXP]]
** *mPakRedux (a.k.a. 'Rusties') - see [[Second-hand ships]] for download details
** [[Staer9 Spectre]]
** [[TCAT OXP|To Catch a Thargoid]]
** [[Thargoid Carrier]] (this will considerably increase the thargoid threat - though my Fer-de-Lance 3G expansion pack will offset that increase somewhat);
** [[Thargorn Threat]]
** [[Tionisla Orbital Graveyard]] and its 'shipwrecks' sub-pack

'''Compatibility'''

Interstellar tweaks tries to be compatible with the following expansion packs.

* [[Thargoid_Witchspace_Drive]]
* [https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9242 Wormhole drones]
* [[Galactic Misjump OXP]]
* [[Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy]] (at least up to a point)

==Other points==

* The load that Interstellar Tweaks will place on your computer will be, for the most part, light to moderate (and, mostly, via CPU much more than RAM and graphics card). That is so especially for Interstellar Tweaks version >= 7.5. Yet, if you install many expansion packs with which Interstellar Tweaks can interact, then that will increase the load.

* The difficulty of this expansion pack varies automatically, in various ways, with the player's [[Elite Rating]].

Interstellar Tweaks

2026-08-02T05:02:06Z

Uk Eliter: /* Relation to other expansion packs */

Rather more excitement in interstellar space!

==Overview==

This OXP makes misjumps a little more likely and, fairly often, generates one of various (mostly) exciting witchspace scenarios.

==Requirements==
* The expansion pack requires Oolite version ''1.82'' or above.
* The pack draws upon various other expansion packs, if they are installed. (See below.)

==General notes==

The scenarios at issue include, but are not limited to, the following things happening within interstellar space.

* Encountering the navy battling thargoids (though some other OXPs provide something on those lines).
* Having your escape pod rescued. (Hooray! And your chances of rescue are increased by having - merely possessing - the 'electronic thumb'; a different OXP makes that equipment available.)
* Encountering bounty hunters. (Hooray?)
* Encountering pirates. (Boo?)
* Developing 'witchspace sickness'. (Definitely boo.)
* Ending up in a high radiation area, which can kill you whilst you are there but has no long-lasting effects. (So, mostly: boo.)
* Meeting rebel thargoids. (Hooray!)
* Finding derelicts within interstellar space.

Also, though this is something that happens when one leaves witchspace: this OXP gives you a chance of ending up near - or, er, very near - the system's sun. (Er . . handy?)

==Relation to other expansion packs==

'''Packs of which Interstellar Tweaks can make use'''

Interstellar Tweaks can draw upon alll of the following (and indeed, but in a fairly trivial way, a few that I do not list here) - but it ''requires'' none of them. Most but not all of the packs are available via the in-game manager. (The remainder will have to be downloaded and installed manually. The in-game manager will suggest - as accompaniments to Interstellar Tweaks - only those packs that are available via that manager.)

** [[Armoury]]
** [[Behemoth]]
** [[Breakable 'Standard' Equipment OXPs|Breakable WitchDrive]]
** [[BGS]]
** [[Escape Pod Locator OXP]]
** [[Extra Thargoids]]
** [[Fer-de-Lance 3G OXP]]
** [[Fuel Collector OXP]]
** [[Galactic Navy]]
** [[Generation Ships OXP]];
** [[User:Griff|Griff's]] shipset expansion packs (for, especially, nice looking thargoids!);
** [[Interstellar help OXP]]* with its 'Electronic Thumb'
** [[Military Fiasco]]
** [[Misjump Analyser]]
** [[Missionaries OXP]]
** *mPakRedux (a.k.a. 'Rusties') - see [[Second-hand ships]] for download details
** [[Staer9 Spectre]]
** [[TCAT OXP|To Catch a Thargoid]]
** [[Thargoid Carrier]] (this will considerably increase the thargoid threat - though my Fer-de-Lance 3G expansion pack will offset that increase somewhat);
** [[Thargorn Threat]]
** [[Tionisla Orbital Graveyard]] and its 'shipwrecks' sub-pack

'''Compatibility'''

Interstellar tweaks tries to be compatible with the following expansion packs.

* [[Thargoid_Witchspace_Drive]]
* [https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9242 Wormhole drones]
* [[Galactic Misjump OXP]]
* [[Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy]] (at least up to a point)

==Other points==

* The load that Interstellar Tweaks will place on your computer will be, for the most part, light to moderate (and, mostly, via CPU much more than RAM and graphics card). But if you have many of the expansion packs recommended below installed, then that will increase the load.

* The difficulty of this expansion pack varies automatically, in various ways, with the player's [[Elite Rating]].

Talk:SuperCobra

Uk Eliter: /* vandal */

Lots of text gone for a minor edit, seems like vandalism to me, unless they hit several wrong buttons by mistake. ;)
[[User:Uncle Reno|Uncle Reno]] 08:23, 13 April 2007 (BST)

== Relation to Random Hits ==

The page says: 'This ship is currently found inside the Random Hits oxp.' What does that mean? That, unless one wants merely the ship, then one should install Random Hits and not this OXP?

== vandal ==

vandal, reverted

One thing I've noticed about this which seems a little odd it says that the ship is bigger than the cobra mark 3 but it's not if anything it's slightly smaller. maybe the oxp needs some revision or the description on the wiki?
