To perform meaningful "exploration" in Oolite requires two matters.
- Ignorance about what one is exploring!
- Game modifications enhancing the act of exploration!
Contents
Ignorance
Ignorance can be achieved in one of two ways.
- For those not yet knowledgeable about the vanilla eight galaxies, the relevant information can be hidden using OXP's.
- For those who have know too much about The Eight, one can play in other galaxies. These will not share the lore built up around the eight, but they will be new!
Game modifications
OXP's hiding unknown parts of the galaxy
- Here be Dragons hides the unexplored systems on the F6/F7 pages (2012-19)
- Zero Map - Explore the galaxy hides the unexplored systems on the F6 charts: customisable (2016)
- Buyable map (2012)
OXP's recording explorational exploits
New Galaxies to explore
- SOTL Altmap - a new suite of 8 galaxies with political regions, uninhabited systems, new commodities and slightly different equipment. Unfinished but playable.
- This is a scenario oxp which prevents including other oxp's. You might wish to tweak this to allow loading some of these other OXPs as well as, say, Market Observer. See page for details.
- Galaxy Seeds - essay on creating new galaxies, link to Pleb's Oolite Galaxy Generator (Windows only)
New Explorational Game
- SOTL Exploration - no combat. New galaxy, different hyperspace jump method. Locate resources for your stranded mother ship!
