Revision as of 18:52, 2 July 2014

First played Elite on Commodore +4 in 1987. This was the best game in my eyes at that time.

Found Oolite in jan 2013 and enjoy not only the game but OXP programming also as a hobby which can give me the feeling of freedom. I hope the result will entertain my sons and you also. :)


My OXPs

New versions are available within the game and in OXZ list. Some old versions are in my box.

  • FarPlanets - reach very far planets with fast drives.
  • Gallery - review models of encountered ships and find more in exhibitions.
  • Towbar - make money from derelict ships, earn high salvager rankings.

Equipment

  • Detectors - show your energy on the HUD and more target informations.
  • OMGLaser - player can fit an ultimate laser into his Anaconda-class ship.
  • Q-Charger - I made awardable to NPC ships by ShipVersion OXP.
