Captain Solo
Ah yes, nearly everyone knows this character, portrayed by Harrison Ford in the earlier Star Wars trilogy. I like Han Solo because he is a no nonsense kind of guy. The Force? Pshaw! "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid." If there ever was a world where people could levitate stuff with a wave of the hand, that would be the one place I would avoid visiting.
My Ship
Standard Cowell & MgRath Cobra Mark III with the registered name of, Excalibur. Always kept well maintained and the hull painted Battleship Grey. This photo op took place at Cerexe in Chart 2, where I'd just completed a bounty contract for 8010 credits. The mark was a particularly vile mechanoid at the controls of a fairly lethal Wolf Mark II, but he and his cohorts were not up to the challenge.
SoloTek Industries
Cobra Mark III-XT
Copperhead Mk. II OXP
Cougar ST OXP
I Missile
System Redux 64
Original OXP by CaptKev & Kaks. It only offered 16 different planetary textures. My mod expands the galaxy systems array from four bit to six bit to allow for 64 unique planetary textures (1024 x 512). I modified the code for extra planets to add more moons instead. This mod will never be released.

Random Hits OXP
I re-programmed the main script, "oolite-randomHits.js", to limit Seedy Space Bars to only those anarchies where the economy type is, Poor Industrial. The maximum number of OXP locations, and therefore unique bar names, is reduced to 16. That occurs only in Galaxy four mainly because that chart has only four of the eight possible government types. As for the scripts spaceBars array, I kept some names and invented new ones to my liking:
The Blue Parrot
The Fox and Hound
The Old Spacer
The Golden Gargle Blaster
The Smoke Dragon Lounge
The Wanted Dead or Alive
The Bell and Braben
McLane's Mansion
Solo's Retreat
Jameson's Body
The Worlds End
Selezen's Hangout
The Final Eight
Dizzy's Dive
Smivs' Setee
Cody's Caveat

Solo's Chart Three
