Asteroid Storm is pretty limited. Playing through some of the really basic early ones can get you in the mindset and know what to expect for some of the later ones.

Missons OXPs add new missions for Commanders to undertake.

Oolite Missions provides a useful comparisons table giving details of which galaxy the mission is set in, rank needed, etc.

Asteroid Storm is pretty limited. Playing through some of the really basic early ones can get you in the mindset and know what to expect for some of the later ones. Generally, I've found missions written by Thargoid to be pretty good, and as for large epic missions, there's the classic Assassin's Guild, and Trident Down.

For some reason, galaxy map 4 is rife with missions!

Discussions

Information on Missions

  • Oolite Missions gives a spreadsheet with all missions sortable by Galaxy, number of kills needed to commence, etc.
Note: some of these a full-length stories, others randomly generate lots of short missions

Musings

Two points.

1) A number of missions change the relevant galaxy in ways which add flavour and Lore to it. See especially Ionics (G2), Resistance Commander (G5) & Assassins Guild (G7).
2) Svengali designed his Library OXP to complement missions - with a database of met NPC's, ability to register medals, catalogue of special systems, etc. Sadly, he died before he could update Vector and Localhero for Library. The only missions which Library fully supports are those in the Vanilla game and the Galactic Navy OXP. Nobody else has integrated their missions with it.

Old Missions

Note that a number of missions are marked as Deprecated.

In some cases, this is due to changes in Oolite. Try an older version from the links here.
In other cases, the original plan of the author was banjaxed by the growing plethora of oxp's which defeated the mechanics of the mission (such oxp's as Telescope, fuel tanks, or the various Uberships, etc), and in one case it was marked as deprecated. In such cases it will still work (and you can remove some of these oxp's to get the original feel intended for the mission).
