Revision as of 22:44, 2 September 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.

Activities

  • 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 (from v1.21) - I made awardable to NPC ships by ShipVersion OXP.
  • Telescope - extended targeting and scanning features, auto steering, sniper ring and more.
  • SafetyCatch - prevent accidental Q-Bomb and other mine launches when using missiles.

HUD

  • Combat MFD - show many data of your ship and your target.
  • HUD Selector - help to choose your HUD from more possibilities.
  • NumericHUD (from v3.1) - I updated many parts for my OXPs, added MFDs and speedup.

Missions

  • The Collector - find the rich man and do the jobs he offer. The story is affected by your choices.

Mechanics

Misc

  • Display reputation (in v1.2) - I added parcel reputation into the original OXP.
  • HudRequests - tech demo and requests to make dynamic HUDs and a mini-game to earn highscores.
  • LogEvents - write messages into Latest.log using all event handlers to help debugging OXPs and review battles.

Ship

  • Andromeda - very large ship with decent cargo capacity and rare extensions.
  • Carriers - build up your personal fleet and take with you on your Carrier.
  • HardBase - one of the biggest playable entity with huge cargo capacity and almost no agility.
  • RocketMiner - can dock without rolling if well centered due to the barrel form (requested by my little son).
  • RocketShips - 8 new ship, can fly faster for some cost, get secondary autofire weapons and malfunctions. ;)


Documents

My Documents folder filled with Elite-related writings:

  • Board Games

I like more than 300 OXPs in total so I made an OXP Collection. There are many small but good OXP what you probably missed if you do not read through the OXP List, I grouped these to match different player levels.


Enjoy!
