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.

Installation instructions
This OXP forms the base minimum installation for Famous Planets v1.1. There are two additional music packs (available from the same source as this original zip file), which can be downloaded and added to give the full immersion experience.
To install this OXP, copy the folder "Famous_Planets_v1.1.oxp" and its content into the AddOns folder within your Oolite installation. If you are using the music packs (highly recommended), unzip those and add the content to the "Music" folder within the OXP.
As there is a potential scripting conflict with the original script in the System Redux OXP, an updated specially modified version is supplied with this OXP. If you use this OXP with Famous Planets v1.1, please copy the script.js file in the "System Redux Config" folder into the System Redux OXP folder in the same place as the existing version (overwrite it).
