Help for new players (in-game)
Contents
[hide]Overview
Overhear some useful (and some not-so-useful!) tips at the station bar.
When docked, visit the F4 screen (Visit the Station Bar under "Activities") to go and listen in!
Hints cover combat, trading, using equipment, pirate & thargoid tactics, etc.

Gratifications
- LittleBear & Spara (programming)
- Redspear, Avder, Hiran, Murgh & Cody (gossip)
- Programming help from Montana05 & phkb
- Inspiration (and bar picture) from BeeTLe BeTHLeHeM
- cbr came up with some super ideas - which I'm too dumb to include
Future Hopes
This is the first stage of this .oxp
Assuming I can develop the skills:
- 1. GNN newsflashes to amplify a little more along these lines.
- 2. I'd like to add choices of drinks
- 3. Also to add variation and choice in bars (those orbital stations are massive, just one bar is unrealistic).
- 4. I'd also like to combine it with BeeTLe BeTHLeHeM's Life in the Frontier.oxp - which gives more meaning to visiting the bar
- 5. I desperately want to add in advice for other oxp's (which requires this oxp to recognise which ones are loaded and then dole out data accordingly)
Future problems needing sorting:
- 1. How does one control repetition of hints? Especially when a player starts again with a second Jameson?
- 2. How does one determine the proportion of hints for an oxp vs those for the vanilla game? 1 Feudal States hint for every 9 vanilla game hints? And what about when one has 200 oxps loaded?
