Captain Solo

Ah yes, nearly everyone knows this character, portrayed by Harrison Ford in the earlier Star Wars trilogy. I like Han Solo because he is a no nonsense kind of guy. The Force? Pshaw! "Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid." If there ever was a world where people could levitate stuff with a wave of the hand, that would be the one place I would avoid visiting.

I Play Oolite

My ship, the Scarlet Tambourine. Not your ordinary Cobra Mk. III. "I've made a lot of special modifications myself." No, I did not uberfy it. That is not my style.

CaptSolo's Favourite OXP's

Background Set Audio and video enhance the immersion factor of the game. I even recorded a couple robotized voice overs: "Red Alert!" and "Incoming!"
Extra Fuel Tanks It can get nasty out there and sometimes one needs a topper for the witchspace fuel injectors.
Hyperradio There's nothing like your favourite tunes to while away a boring in-system flight. I even like music during combat.
Random Hits Adds Seedy Space Bars to Anarchy systems offering bounty hunter services, and some lucrative trade as well.
Random Ship Names Gives all ships of normal roles a randomly generated name. Some are plain jane but others are quite descriptive.
Tracker Works like tagging a ship or object with a tracking device which can be monitored via the ASC.

Random Hits

I re-programmed the main script, "oolite-randomHits.js", to limit Seedy Space Bars to only those anarchies where the economy type is, Poor Industrial. The maximum number of OXP locations per galaxy, and therefore unique bar names, is reduced to 16. That occurs only in galaxy four mainly because that chart has only four of the eight possible government types. As for the script's spaceBars array, I kept some names and invented new ones to my liking:

Bar Name Chart 1 Chart 2 Chart 3 Chart 4 Chart 5 Chart 6 Chart 7 Chart 8
Gile's Grotto Laarzace Isrema & Bien Telear Artesore & Onaran Revequ
The Fox and Hound Retila Isquinza Erdiares
