Difficulty Rating

"Medium".

The ships appearing in the OXP are within the power-range of the standard set of ships. You wouldn't need a full Iron Ass to take them on, but you should have some basic upgrades fitted such as a Military Laser, Fuel Injectors, an energy unit and perhaps a shield booster.

Installing and Playing

You need do nothing with the OXZ once you have downloaded it through the Expansions Manager.

Library OXP enhances the newest version of this OXP.

To play the older OXP versions instead, unzip the download file. This will create a folder named "Love Cats xxx". Open this folder and you will see a folder named "Love Cats xxx.oxp" and a readme. Move the Love Cats xxx.oxp folder to AddOns. As with all OXPs, its the folder ending .oxp that you need to put in Oolite's AddOns folder, otherwise Oolite will not read it.
