Feudal States
Overview
The Feudal States is a flavour OXP that adds various new elements to the leading feudal systems in Oolite galaxies. The current version is v1.5, released on 11 April 2010 and covers Galaxies 1, 2 and 3 and 5.
Elements
The OXP contains four basic elements:
Challenges
Pilots can visit Royal Hunting Lodges where they are able to challenge nobles in ship-to-ship contact. Bets can be placed on the outcome, giving you an alternative way of making quick money.
Missions
Good pilots are in high demand amongst the Feudal States. Visit the Royal Court where you can take on missions, ranging from simple deliveries to the capture and ransom of senior nobles.
Promotions
As your standing with the Feudal States increases, you can join their ranks as a knight of one of the royal houses. Further success will see you elevated to the peerage, with the chance of becoming one of the leading members of royal society.
Tournaments
The Feudal States hold regular tournaments where nobles gather to test their skills in combat. All pilots with noble rank are eligible to take part, with the winner taking home a major cash prize as well as increasing their prestige.
More detailed information on the OXP is available in the accompanying PDF readme.
Difficulty
Taking part in missions, challenges and tournaments is entirely optional. Missions and tournament events increase in difficulty as you progress, while challenges vary in difficulty depending on the skill and rank of your opponent.
Requirements
This OXP requires, and has been tested on, Oolite v1.74. The ship models use shaders to help with identification, though the OXP will run with shader options turned off.
Dependencies
Please note that access to missions requires the installation of Planetfall_OXP.
