Humour

There is a lot of humour in Oolite. Not so much in the Vanilla game (but see "Mr Gimlet's" AdviceForNewCommanders.pdf included in your original game download). However, when you enter the world of .oxp's or start peering through the Bulletin Board, you will frequently find something jumping out and biting you in the behind!

Here are some examples:

OXP's

• Hotrods OXP
• Iron Ass OXP - try docking with a Scrub in Volume 5! (You might need ILS loaded).
• TrumbleTreats - no longer works on newer Oolite versions
• Your Ad Here! (or YAH) - see picture for some good ones!

Littlebear's

• The Galactic Almanac OXZ - the GNN broadcasts are jolly good (you need GNN loaded to see them)
• Random Hits OXP - just read the details of the targets one is asked to nobble!

Redspear's

• Alien Systems OXZ
• Solos Alt Stations

Wildebloods's

• File:Aaaa aaron.oxz Some dutch guy tilts at windmills.
• Retro-Encabulator
• Wildeblood Manor - enlivens the F7 screen for Vetitice
• AI Trading Assistant an autotrader - put your feet up and have a gin & tonic - and a good laugh: Broke with Oolite v.1.82 - so download an earlier version of Oolite! (1.77.1 is good!).
