About phkb

phkb stands for "play hard, kick butt", to which there is a long and funny story - but not funny enough for this forum. phkb's real name is Nick Rogers, which is what he tends to call himself, rather than an unpronounceable acronym. If you absolutely have to have a pronunciation, then he would suggest adding an "i" and "o" to make it "pihkob", PIH-kob.

Nick first played Elite on the Commodore 64 in the late 80's, rising to the level of Deadly before his C64 was "borrowed" and then never returned. He discovered Oolite at around version 1.70, and has been playing quite a bit since.

Sometime after the release of 1.80 he decided to try his hand at writing his own components and customisations for the game. He now requires a constant supply of dark side cookies to feed his habit.

Nick is currently CEO of Xenon Industries, whose operating mantra is to "make it look good". He can be spotted in various locations in G7, piloting a (now) slightly used Yasen-N, but still seems to spend a lot of time writing expansion packs.

Welcome players of all sorts

Thanks for stopping by my personal section of the Wiki. If you're a long time player and know your way around, I won't stop you getting to the good stuff below. But if you're a new player, or at least new to this page, I have some suggestions and recommendations on where to start, because my mod list is getting a *bit* long now, and it might be somewhat overwhelming to begin with.

Please remember, however, that my recommendations are only that - the recommendations of a single player. They aren't to be considered part of the core game, or as some sort of unoffical standard. You are free to pick and choose from all of these. They are offered freely, without warranty or obligation. And you are free to hack away at any of them if they aren't quite to your taste.

The Essentials

I consider these OXP's to be corrections or improvements to core game systems or interfaces. There is no gameplay changes in this lot at all. Consider this list a "Quality of life" upgrade. If you're looking for the best place to start with my OXP's, this list is it.

This OXP is probably the only one in this list that comes closest to changing gameplay, but I consider it almost manditory in giving the player the same abilities as NPC's. blue 3400 1.80 Equipment Laser Arrangement allows lasers to be moved between the different laser mounts available on the ship, when docked. green 0 1.84 Miscellaneous Loadout by Category reorganises the F3 and F5 screen by adding category headers, and collecting all related equipment under those categories. green 1.90 Miscellaneous Missile Summary adds a summary of your current pylon-mounted weapons to the F5 Status screen. green 0 1.90 Miscellaneous 'No Market' Notification displays a more meaningful message instead of an unusable market screen on stations with no commodities market. green 113 1.80 Equipment Remove Individual Pylon allows a single pylon mounted weapon to be removed. green 0 1.80 Ambience Planet Forests and Oceans (BB link - manual download links in first post) ensures that planets with descriptions of 'forests' or 'oceans' have a visual representation to match, tweaking the look of the planet texture. green 1.85

The Basics

These OXP's are what I would recommend new players include in their Ooniverse. Again, not much in the way of gameplay changes, although there are a couple that tweak things in a minor way, but a lot of stuff is just to smooth out your gameplay experience. Some of it will be personal taste, which is why I didn't include these in the Essentials list above. For instance, Ship Comparison reveals a lot of ship specification numbers that you would not normally be able to see. You might consider that as giving the player too much information, and that's fine. You are free to pick and choose, but from this point on it's worth checking out the relevant wiki pages for the ones you plan on using.

Deepening Your Ooniverse

This next set of OXP's are really starting to play around with game mechanics, changing things quite significantly in some cases. In most of these examples, though, what I'm attempting to do is add a little bit more realism and depth to the Oolite game world. Because Oolite is a re-imagining of an 8-bit game from 1984, it brought over some things that don't make a lot of sense. For example: Bounties. In the base game, if you get a bounty on your head, you can just jump a few times and your bounty disappears. Use an escape pod and it completely clears your bounty. That didn't make sense in a modern game, so I created the Bounty System to make bounties stay, and you have to work a lot harder to remove them. So, take a look at these, but be aware that things might change dramatically after you install them!

As well, there are some other benefits achievable the more players visit their home system. green 0 1.86 Equipment Laser Mount Switching System (LMSS) enables multiple lasers to be installed at each mount point, and easily switch between them during flight. blue 4747 1.80 Equipment Maintenance Tune Up provides the ability to do a maintenance tune up, even when the normal overhaul is not available. blue 0 1.80 Mechanics Manual Witchspace Alignment makes the process of entering hyperspace a bit more interactive by requiring the player to manually align their ship with a hyperspace destination beacon. orange 240 1.86 Mechanics Risky Business aims to make Multi-Gov, Feudal and Anarchy systems more rewarding for traders, by tweaking prices on a few goods.

phkb has authored a couple of font OXP's, which you can find on the Oolite Fonts page.

Experimental/Utility OXP's

These OXP's were made to explore some ideas or to foster some discussion. They aren't available via the download manager.

Category	Description of OXP	Gameplay Balance	Download count	Min Oolite version
Miscellaneous	CargoSpaceCorrection.oxz is a utility designed to correct errors brought about from other OXP's attempting to adjust the amount of available cargo space on the player ship, but (for a variety of reasons) getting it wrong and potentially giving the player the wrong value. Discussions can be found here: BB Link 1, and here: BB Link 2.	green		1.88
Miscellaneous	CheckingTradeGoods.oxz is a utility designed to aid OXP developers (or just the curious) when building and testing commodity-related OXPs. It automates the process of jumping to every system in a chart, collecting trade good information from the main station, and producing a summary report at the end.	green		1.90
Miscellaneous	CompressedJSON.zip is a utility designed for OXP developers. Many OXP's use JSON to package up data into the save game file, and then extract it again when loading the game. JSON is a rather bulky format, though, and it doesn't take long for your data to start making your save game file quite large. Compressed JSON simply reduces the amount of space the JSON data takes up, thereby reducing your save game file. See the readme file inside the ZIP for details on how to use it. Discussion can be found here: BB Link.	green		1.82
Activities	Hermitage gives you the opportunity to own your own Rock Hermit. Discussion can be found here: BB Link.	green		1.82
Mechanics	PiratePlayer.oxp.zip is an experiment that forces every role of the player to be "pirate", with the goal of observing how the NPC AI responds to the player. Discussion can be found here: BB Link.	orange		1.80
Mechanics	PopulationControl.oxz is intended to limit the size of pirate groups in safer systems. The number of police patrols is also increased slightly. Discussion can be found here: BB Link.	blue		1.80
Mechanics	SpaceLanceAdheranceBonus.oxz was intended as a way of dealing with the "go off-lane to avoid pirates" recommendation, which is normally given to new pilots who are struggling with combat in the early part of the game. This OXP encourages players to stay on the witchpoint-to-planet spacelane by giving a small monetary bonus to players who stay on or close to it as much as possible. Discussion can be found here: BB Link.	blue		1.80
Miscellaneous	TestShipModel.oxz is intended to help ship model creators by providing a simple in-game way to view any ship model, spin it around, and zoom in and out. Discussion can be found here: BB Link.	green		1.91
