Non-Player Character
Overview
In Oolite, all characters other than you are NPC's. Unless you manage to connect with somebody else using Hiram's Nexus.
How do personalities exist within Oolite? Well, one either interacts with them when docked or as ships (in which case the AI of the ship is the relevant part - note that the AI's were rewritten for Oolite back in 2014 (v.1.80), breaking many AI's in older oxp's).
OXP's
- These OXP's introduce ships with NPC personalities into your game.
- Many of these were crafted by Murgh
- Note that some of these have been repackaged several times over the years - Missionaries, Boy Racer, Refugee Adder/Adder Xpat
- Iron Ass OXP - some of these ships have strong personalities (Boy Racer, Adder Xpat, Scrub)
- Missionaries - three flavours: Iron Ass Missionaries (2022) - see Iron Ass OXP above, Hognose Missionaries (2016), Missionaries OXP (2006)
- Refugee Adder - three flavours: in the Iron Ass OXP above (2022), the PROHIP Xpat b1 (2022), and the original from 2005
- Hognose Tugship - two flavours: Griff's version (2022), and Murgh's (2005) original
- Personalities OXP - introduces some of the older personalities from the Oolite bulletin boards into your game! (2009 - possibly broken with newer Oolite versions)
- These other old OXP's: Hotrods OXP, Frog Space Rickshaw (all from circa 2006).
- These OXP's introduce (paid) allies into your game.
- Docked NPC's
- The Collector - mission
- The Galactic Almanac OXZ - see the Easter Eggs mission!
- Hints (overhearing NPC's at the bar)
- Life in the Frontier (adventures in the station)
- One of the issues is the Torus Drive which is not shared with NPC ships, and limits some interractions with them. See Torus Drive for workarounds
Missions
Many missions involve ships with personality. See Oolite Missions for a sortable list (you might wish to select your galaxy, for example).
- See especially Resistance Commander.
Tools
- Library OXP introduces the Lib PAD which contains a database for in-game NPC's with extensive resources. This has sadly not been implemented by other OXP's.

Some of the Oolite players developed very characterful player versions: See Category:Profiles for an incomplete listing
Discussions
- See, for example, the discussion at Hire Traders (2011)
- You can't directly reference and/or assign a script to a character (2022) - and see the next 5 posts
