Overview

The Tionisla Chronicle Array is a massive communication platform used by the Tionisla Chronicle to distribute their news and information around the charts. If was mentioned and described in Drew Wagar's Oolite Saga.

This OXP will add a few new broadcast arrays throughout the eight galactic charts.

The famous Tionisla Chronicle Array can be found in orbit on the dark side of Tionisla (Chart 1)

Please Note that:

  • Broadcast Arrays have a hexagon icon for the Advanced Space Compass to help you locate them.
  • No market or extra equipment (except fuel) are available at the TCA (though other OXP's might effect this)
