 In a nutshell, the '''Masslock Compensator''' is an OXP that permits the player ship faster speed (approx. x2) when alert status is yellow (i.e. passively masslocked but not in combat). It is a solution to the masslock problems in Oolite (the current version provides on-board Masslock Compensators which activate, allowing faster travel under certain conditions).

 Meanwhile, if masslocks are getting you down then this little thing should make things much more tolerable without significantly changing gameplay.

 It works by recognising two types of masslock:
-*Passive Masslocks - These are how typical masslocks begin: the player is masslocked by an entity that has no wish to delay the player. In game this is the situation during yellow alert.

 :During passive masslocks, the player ship's masslock compensators will be activated granting extra speed (x2) to assist in escaping masslock.
-:During active masslocks, the same compenstors will be disabled by 'jamming' from enemy vessels.

 *Pros: The slower player ships are less tedious to pilot and masslocks generally are less mind-numbing.

 :: They are somehow dawdling or have only just started up their torus drive
-Each of these conditions provides (IMHO) a reasonable argument for the player to be travelling faster than the masslocking vessels. So it could further be argued that this oxp creates a simulation of torus-slowing rather than torus-breaking in a way that isn't obviously player centric. A player can be masslocked from behind of course but (for me at least) this is a very rare ocurrance considering that there is typically a good deal of space that the player has already torus-driven through.

 There are other conditions in which masslock can occur but they typically don't involve a tedious spacelane 'race' to overtake or evade other vessels.
