What it does

Always wondered how Lave exactly looked? Did you read Status Quo and then found something missing in Oolite? This is gonna change!

This OXP adds 10 unique planets to Galaxy 1. Some planets are true to the descriptions of the novel Status Quo Status Quo by Drew Wagar (found and down loadable on the Oolite Bulletin Board, a must read) and the Rough Guide to the Ooniverse by Disembodied.

The OXP can be installed as a standalone OXP or as an addum to Capt. Kev's Excellent System Redux.OXP

Changes since version 1.1

For each of the ten Famous Planets (Lave, Zaonce, Reorte, Tionisla, Tianve, Teraed, Leesti, Isinor, Diso and Lerelace) the OXP provides a theme tune which plays on arrival from witchspace and on launch from the main station, a new highly retailed planetary texture plus some additional console messaging. All elements are fully configurable using the OXPConfig.oxp Oolite addon.
