Moray Medical Boat

Overview

This OXP installs the following OXP's:

Missing from this OXP

The following items are described in the Classic Elite Lore but are not included for the reasons mentioned:

  • Lave OXP - vital! But is not on the Expansions Manager for licensing reasons. Download from the Lave OXP page and place in your AddOns Folder.
  • Ophidian class yacht. This is included in several combination sets, and not on its own. See Ophidian to select which you prefer.
  • Planet Forests & Planet Oceans ensure that the Classic Elite descriptions are matched by what you see on your viewscreens. Not yet on the Expansions Manager, download from here
  • Oresrian Trader. The link to this - OXP - has expired, and spare copies have yet to be found!
  • Dark Wheel Cobra (2011) or DWCobra (2006)
  • 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.

Missing from Oolite entirely

  • Raxxla
  • The Dark Wheel society
  • The unregistered planet Cirag
  • Her Imperial Majesty's Space Navy (unfinished, only an alpha version exists) - but you might like the Galactic Navy OXP which may need tweaking, depending on your computer.
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!

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 1.0 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 energy bomb. The more challenging (and optional) New Cargoes does not counterbalance these benefits.
