Sometime ago I posted some images on the Screenshots thread of the Oolite BB, of what is possible with Griff's multi-decal Player Cobra Mk III OXP. I mentioned that I have a lioness on the back of my Cobbie 3 hunters. Someone else suggested that jaguars might be better. This formed an idea in my head and Jaguar Company was born.
Contents
Overview
Adds in an Elite group of pilots to patrol the space lanes in Anarchy, Feudal and Multi-Government systems.
The members of Jaguar Company are part-time reservists so there is a chance that they will appear if there is a major Galactic Naval convoy in the system.
Requirements
- Oolite 1.75+
Optional OXPs
- OXPConfig - For log control of this OXP.
- Snoopers OXP - For news alerts from various sources including Jaguar Company pilots.
- Galactic Navy - Jaguar Company sometimes patrol with Galactic Navy.
This is highly recommended.
- Talkative_Space_Compass - Easy identification of Jaguar Company beacon codes. (Or a HUD that does similar reporting.)

Version History
v2.4 (2012-12-27)
- Bug fix for spawning Jaguar Company. Potential to spawn the base at all times if the Galactic Navy wasn't present.
- Bug fix for checking the safe zone around the base. Wasn't checking to see if it actually existed.
- Main world script saves the last system ID that was visited for interstellar space.
- Timer on start up for the worldscripts has been added to allow each worldscript to be loaded in. Stops a potential dependency error happening.
- Stray commas in the route list arrays removed.
- Welcome code has been cleaned up.
missiontext.plistanddescriptions.plistcleaned up.- Altered all player consoleMessage's to show messages for the default time limit.
- Changed all player commsMessage's to consoleMessage.
- Changed some of the player consoleMessage's back into commsMessage.
- Only insert news into Snoopers about battle help if more than 10 minutes has passed since the last news item was inserted.
- If you set $alwaysSpawn to true with OXPConfig the base will be spawned if it doesn't exist.
- Patrol ships follow the Galactic Navy.
- If by some freak accident, all of the Galactic Navy is destroyed, the patrol ships will go back to base if it exists. Otherwise they will patrol the witchpoint to planet lane.
- New reputation level. Shows the location of Jaguar Company Bases in the current galaxy.
- Re-implementation of the game random number generators for
system.pseudoRandomNumberandsystem.scrambledPseudoRandomNumber, to allow checking of all the systems in the current galaxy. The system versions only gives back a value for the current system. - Oolite v1.76.1 or older only show a list of system names. Go to the long range chart then select the status screen (F6, F6, F5). Borrowed some code from Spara's Trophy Collector OXP for this.
- Oolite v1.77 or newer display the locations on the long range chart. Uses the new object method of
mission.markSystemso it won't intefere with other OXPs. (Hopefully)
- Re-implementation of the game random number generators for
