Tionisla Reporter

Sadly not part of this OXP. The Tionisla Chronicle Array is a separate OXP providing the array from which the Tionisla Chronicle broadcasts its GNN news

Overview

This oxp adds a simple mission for a starting commander. As the name already suggests, the mission starts at Tionisla, where the Tionisla Chronicle is located.

Story

Have you always wanted to explore the universe beyond its boundaries? Then this mission has something for you. The head of the Tionisla Chronicle will send you out to fetch material for an article that will make headlines. And you are the author of it.

Disclamer

This mission was mainly written to use some of the new 1.75 features. At the same time it means the commander will see stuff that was not possible in older missions. One of the things is the camera that can make a screenshot. This is a function that actually saves a picture in the screenshot folder. However, it was decided that the actual saving a picture will not be possible in the final release version of Oolite, only in the test versions. For the mission itself it is not important if the actual picture is there.

Difficulty

0-1

This is an easy mission that does not add additional pirates and does not lead you through pirate systems. It also starts near the Lave system. Therefore it should be very suitable for a starting commander.

Installing and Playing

You can install this OXP from with Oolite, using the built-in "Download Manager".

For version 1.2:
To install the OXP manually, unzip the download file. This will create a folder named "Tionisla Reporter". Open this folder and you will see a folder named "Tionisla Reporter.oxp" and a readme. Move the Tionisla Reporter.oxp folder to AddOns. As with all OXPs, its the folder ending .oxp that you need to put in Oolite's AddOns folder, otherwise Oolite will not read it.
