Contents
Overview
This OXP installs the following OXP's:
- Lave OXP - Murgh's lore-based depiction of Lave, with restaurant droids, trainee pilots, etc.
- Lave Academy - the academy for training pilots
- Tionisla Orbital Graveyard - described in the Dark Wheel
- Jane's Galactic Shipset - restores the ship descriptions of Classic Elite
- Generation Ships - described in the The Space Traders Flight Training Manual
- Deep Space Dredgers - described in the The Space Traders Flight Training Manual
- Liners - mentioned in the Dark Wheel (with Liners Markets & BigShips added for functionality)
- Griff Ophidian - contains the Ophidian described in the Dark Wheel
- HIMSN - an almost invisible space navy (Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy) busy fighting the Thargoids
- Energy Bomb - (almost) as exists in Classic Elite and as described in The Space Traders Flight Training Manual & the Dark Wheel
- New Cargoes - allows trade in Vargon mind-silk and Shanaskilk furs as described in the Dark Wheel.
- Planet Forests and Oceans ensures that the Classic Elite descriptions are matched by what you see on your viewscreens!
Missing from this OXP
The following OXP's contain elements described in the Classic Elite Lore but are not included for the reasons mentioned:
- Oresrian Trader. The download for this is in OXP - note that the textures are old Low Poly ones
- Dark Wheel Cobra (2011) or DWCobra (2006) - again, old Low Poly textures
- Renegade Pirates OXP (2008): The Dark Wheel society?
Non-BBC variants
This OXP does not include the variants of Classic Elite for other platforms, many of which added more ships, missions etc. For a list of such ships see Jason Togneri's list here: Complete ship object list & Complete Ship List. And see Griff's ArcElite under Links, below.
Missing from Oolite entirely
- Raxxla
- The Dark Wheel society
- The unregistered planet Cirag
- But if you have the skills, you could create some of these for Oolite!
Tip
Read New Cargoes Trading Advice! And take some of the training courses at the Lave Academy!
Links
Also
- Griff ArcElite - new versions of the native Oolite ships textured & shaded to resemble how they originally appeared in the Acorn Archimedes version of Elite, adds some extra ships from Elite 'A', Elite2 and BBC\C64 Elite.
Download, License and other gubbins

Gratifications
Thanks to Spara & Phkb for helping give me the skills to do this. This meta-oxp is based on Norby's - and he was very encouraging. Others also helped & encouraged: Stranger, cag, Montana05 & Hiran.
Version History
- Version 1.2 replaces FPO Lave with Phkb's update of Lave OXP, and then adds in TOGY Memorials, HIMSN, and Planet Forests and Oceans. Fixed typo.
- Version 1.1 adopting recommendations from Phkb, Montana05 & Ramen
- Version 1.0 Original concept, based on Classic Elite game code, The Space Traders Flight Training Manual & Holdstock's The Dark Wheel. Not enough of Imprint's lore seems to have been transmogrified into oxp's to make emulating it feasible.
Gameplay and Balance Indicator
Adds markets (Dredger & Liners), training (Lave Academy) and the player-favouring energy bomb. The more challenging (and avoidable) New Cargoes does not counterbalance these benefits.
