The main goal for rescripting Localhero was to create a complex mission campaign that is still playable even on slower machines. I've stripped down the models details, reduced the texture sizes and compressed all scripts to the minimum (sometimes even more), so it's no bleeding edge oxp and should work on most machines. For better control about ressources I've extracted the music and soundfiles into additional packs. If installed (like any other oxp) Localhero will use these files automagically, but they are not necessary to play Localhero.

Overview

It's a multi-mission-pack and there is a ranking system, some special missions and a bonus system integrated. Difficulty is easy for the first few missions, but it's getting harder if you succeed. You will need a well suited ship to accomplish all missions. So any extra equipment is welcome. And don't forget to use your weapon arsenal. You will need it.

Please note that this OXP will not run properly under Oolite v1.65. The differences between v1.00 and v1.01 is just the internal handling of variables. v1.03.x is a development version and has some totally new features. Most of them you won't notice but they are improving the handling (reminder, screen clash proof, real voices, ...).

Background and History

Since the battle against the Thargoids hundreds of GalCop pilots have lost their lives in this merciless fights. And the lost souls are a burden for all commandeering officers. Some of them can stand the pain, some were going crazy about the blood and the cries. And some of them...

Only a strong alliance of all GalCop worlds could support the navy to meet this threat. But not all worlds were willing to do this. GalCop worlds are in need of skilled pilots to support the local police to protect their trade routes against all kinds of piracy. In this case confederacy planets got some trouble with an ex-general and his pirate group. General Harkov's group seems to be well equiped and even better informed. Your mission is to support the local police to find, destroy and capture Harkov and his group.

Notes

This mission pack is placed in the first five galaxies on all high-tech confederacy worlds. Harkov knows where the honeypods are.
