SOTL Altmap

Cim's second universe!

Your new ship, actually based on a Cobra MkIII but named a Kodiak. Note that you can customize the equipment, affecting the readouts on the right.

• The ES bar (top left, yellow) tells you how much Equipment Space you have.
• The DES bar (bottom left, yellow) is for Drive Equipment Space.
• The green slider bar on the middle on the right determines how much energy goes into your fore & aft shields

Rejigging your equipment - here showing options for Engines

The Biripaon Entente is the local Alliance of star-sytems to where one starts.

AT systems tend not to be settled - or to have orbital stations! And not just AT systems...

A nearby system to your starting point.

The first of some 2 1/2-odd pages of commodities!

This is a real discovery game! There is at the outset little clue as to what the prices might be at the next system. If you breeze through enough of the various F7 pages, it seems that there was an alien invasion many years ago, which hampered settling the systems in the Galaxy. There are references to various power-blocs strewn around the galaxy. It's up to you to discover how it all works!

Oh ... it seems that the usual optional vanilla game equipment (fuel injectors, EEU's, ASC's etc) is not easily available - if at all! Some of it is worked into the equipment components you can buy for your ship (combat computer, navigation computer etc).

The Loader OXZ (1.1)

And Altmap (1.0)

also the Exploration OXZ (0.4) - see SOTL Exploration for details of this second scenario

As this is a scenario OXP which changes many of Oolite's basic rules, it is disabled in conventional Oolite games, and requires the starting of a new game from a special position to play it. This position is available in the SOTL Loader/Startup OXP (for technical reasons this must be downloaded separately).

None of your normal OXPs will be usable in a SOTL Exploration game.

For more information, see the forum thread

Warning

This is currently an experimental OXP. It is a collection - not necessarily a particularly coherent one - of various pieces of code written to test 1.82's new features while they were being developed, as well as a few other bits of prototype feature.
It includes:

- 2048 long-form planetary descriptions

- complex ship customisation

- NPC's now get the torus drive too!

- alternative economy and trade good set

- various other proof-of-concept and prototypes code
