 == Out-game Expansions Manager ("Oolite Starter") ==
 The [[Oolite Starter]] allows easy switching between bnuches of Oolite versions, OXPs and savegames. Mr. Gimlet guides novice users (and does not hold back advising experienced ones).
 See v0.1.35 (Mar '26) at [https://github.com/OoliteProject/OoliteStarter this Github repository]. There are installers for Linux, Mac and Windows.

-The AppleMac version is not yet fully functional - one cannot start up the savegame of choice, but includes an automatically updated list of every OXZ on the oolite.space website as well as managing the OXPs in your AddOns folder. The fact that the AppleMac version of Oolite does not honor passed command line parameters is more a bug on Oolite than on the Oolite Starter.
