Flavoured Sets of OXPs downloadable through Oolite Starter
[[File:F8 screen (oxp'd).png|400px|right|thumb|'''Beginners Set''' adding here to the F8 market screen: information about tweaking the screen on the margins, and a record of average commodity prices together with details of how much you paid for what is in your hold]]
[[File:Tianve Pulsar v2.0.png|400px|right|thumb|'''Depth''' adds nuance - here for example at Tianve, where a Pulsar is added to the system]]
[[File:Tca.png|400px|right|thumb|'''G1 Missions/Activities''' The "Tionisla Reporter" mission begins at the [[Tionisla Chronicle Array]] at Tionisla]]
[[File:Oolite-cobra4 and Additional Planets.png|400px|right|thumb|'''Additional Planets/Stations''' creates solar systems with planets, stations and moons]]
[[File:Stranger's World.jpg|400px|right|thumb|'''Stranger's World''' creates ''dynamic'' solar systems - but also more physics (all movement needs fuel etc.) Your game becomes more difficult.]]

== Overview ==
Flavour your Ooniverse to your taste! Using [[Oolite Starter]] - downloadable [https://oolite.space/#download here].

Available Flavours:

*'''Vanilla''' - nothing added

*'''Beginner's Set''' - OXPs designed to help a beginner to Oolite - giving in-game information useful for success.

*'''Depth''' - OXPs - OXPs which add nuance to the Ooniverse, differentiating (eg) Communist States from Feudal ones, adding in Lave's Academy, the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard, Tianve's pulsar and tourist traffic, lore-based planet descriptions ''etc''.

*'''G1 Missions/Activities''' - adds missions to the first Galaxy which are offered through the stations at various planets.

*'''Additional Planets/Stations''' - Solar Systems! creates solar systems with extra planets, stations surrounding them and moons.

*'''Stranger's World''' - Solar Systems! Physics! a more realistic world with dynamically orbiting solar systems (planets & moons), better physics (all movement needs fuel, etc.). See [[User:Stranger|Stranger's World]] for much more detail

 Rather than divide these up by the traditional Oolite divisions (ambience, mechanics etc), the list below splits up Stranger's oxp's conceptually, to give you a better idea as to how it changes Oolite.

 :SW Economy provides a more meaningful economy for Oolite: planet size & economy are now relevant to production, each commodity (eg textiles) can be valuable, and water, oxygen & medicine are added to the mix.
-*'''Space Stations'''
+==== Space Stations ====
 :Orbital Stations enables orbital stations to dynamically orbit planets!
 :Traffic Lights helps with manual docking at the system's only main station & gives priority docking after 15 mins; also crucial for fuel-less Hard-Way oxp.
-*'''Physics'''
+==== Physics ====
 :Hard Way: all flight consumes fuel - hence 4 modules - collapsible shields & fuel consumption; gravity wells; solar wind scoop & warp drive
 :Dark Ray turns off all laser beam glows - they are not scientifically justifiable in the vacuum of space!
-::With fuel now powering everything, including the energy banks, low fuel means low energy, and thus low shields.
+::''With fuel now powering everything, including the energy banks, low fuel means low energy, and thus low shields.''
 :Energy Rebalance rebalances energy between shields & energy banks to prevent damage - unless banks are almost empty and death is imminent
-*'''Equipment'''
+==== Equipment ====
+''The changes in Astronomy & Physics have led to some new equipment. Vast solar systems where all travel costs fuel - and where one cannot scoop solar flux due to distance from the sun, means that one needs more fuel (and an MFD to display Solar Wind Flux rating). Further, the gravity well of the planet now relates to its mass/size so the vanilla game altimeter is no longer as reliable. With so many in-system cargo deliveries involving planetary landings, a better altimeter is needed.''
 :Internal Fuel Tank: a single-use fuel tank using 5t of free space in the cargo bay. Select/activate as primed equipment.
 :SW HUD CAI: modernised CB HUD with MFDs and customised SW altimeter for Hard Way.oxp (conflicts with SW HUD DAI)
 :Not by Stranger! Useful MFDs has been modified by Dybal to include a rating for the all-important Solar Wind Flux (also downloadable in the Expansions Manager).
-All of Stranger's oeuvre -  but not "Energy Rebalance SCC", "SW HUD DAI" or his "Leesti is Moon" texture experiments.
+==== Summary ====
+This is all of Stranger's published english oeuvre -  but not "Energy Rebalance SCC", "SW HUD DAI" or his "Leesti is Moon" texture experiments. There is more available through the Russian [[Roolite]] site.
