Ship's Library OXP

This OXP was devised by Oolite's last Lead Developer Cim who also wrote a couple of books for it!

Overview

• Download the OXZ (listed under Equipment in the Expansions Manager).
• You get access to the books in your library when you are docked - Try the F4 interface and look towards the end of the list under Ship Systems. Note that your library does not give you comparisons of Spacecraft & Orbital Stations - for that you need View Ship Specifications, which is called the Ship Library when you are inside it!
• You can also buy an in-flight reader for 200cr. This will provide an MFD (which will need priming using the :/; keys) governed by the n/b keys to allow you to scroll through your books!

The Library comes with your Ship's Manual:
