Optional Optional Equipment

No simple list, sorry! New stuff (like barrel roll) gets invented all the time, whilst other stuff gets left behind as Oolite develops and the originators disappear back into RL (real life). The best place to look for OXP equipment is in the OXP List and the OXZ List]. You can also try: OXP Equipment and OXP Weapons.

• Some OXPs (such as Missile Combat Reimagined or Hard Way) reorganise very many of the elements of Oolite, as well as adding in new pieces of optional equipment.
• Others (Barrel Roll or ILS) just add in one or two pieces of equipment which help the player (until the pirates get that equipment too!).

• Here is a taster of some of the latter:

Equipment	Function	Tech Level	Price (Cr.)	Notes
Auto-ECM	Defensive	6	1200	Automatically engages your ECM for you when a missile is fired by somebody else
Barrel Roll	Defensive	9	30	good against lasers, less good against missiles
Energy Bomb	Offensive	8	900	the original weapon from Classic Elite
Electronic Thumb	Astrogatory	6	985	summons help for those marooned in Witchspace
Fast Target Selector	Offensive	5	10	targets local ships either for missile use or for information
Goods Container	Mercantile	6	varies	mounts in place of a missile to hold 5 or 10 TC
ILS	Astrogatory	5	50	Instrument Landing System guides your ship into dock (sometimes through the other side of the wall!)
Market Observer	Mercantile	-	-	upgrades your F8 interface with vital information about average prices & past trades
Naval Grid Next	Defensive	10+	2500+	2 grids (civilian or military) which strengthen your shields
New Lasers	Offensive	varies	varies	adds 21 lasers - found on different worlds (eg only lobstoid)
Sniper Lock	Offensive	12	500	helps aim your laser more accurately (needs Scanner Targeting Enhancement above)
Torus To Sun	Propulsive	4	500	speeds up the Torus jump drive 2x to 8x (depending on proximity to mass)
Useful MFDs	Generic	-	-	provides 2 MFDs with information about your ship and about your cargo
Vimana HUD	Astrogatory	-	-	HUD with warning lights for high temperature, low altitude etc (has expensive add-ons)
