Revision as of 18:13, 23 December 2023
Important note: for many of these missions, important information/reminders are displayed on the F5F5 screen.
The Constrictor Hunt mission crucially uses the F7 screen for gossip.
Missions are from OXPs unless indicated otherwise.
Musings
Note that some of the missions OXPs are rather more than "just" missions. The Assassins Guild rebuilds the 7th Galaxy, Iron Raven does the same for G8. Ionics provides a unifying theme for the north-east corner of G2, with Resistance Commander doing the same for the south of G6.
And various of the Thargoid-related missions (Cataclysm, TCAT, Thargoid Wars etc) create a veritable armageddon against the Thargoids.
Note that a number of missions are marked as Deprecated.
- In some cases, this is due to changes in Oolite. Try an older version from the links here.
- Localhero OXP will not work on 1.72 or newer.
- Vector OXP will not work on 1.77 or newer.
- Xeptatl's Sword will not work with 1.82 or newer
- In other cases, the original plan of the author was banjaxed by the growing plethora of oxp's which defeated the mechanics of the mission (such oxp's as Telescope, fuel tanks, or the various Uberships, etc), and in one case it was marked as deprecated. In such cases it will still work (and you can remove some of these oxp's to get the original feel intended for the mission).
- Cataclysm OXP seems to be an example of this.
