Revision as of 07:08, 29 August 2012

First played Elite back on the old BBC Model B, though never got further than Dangerous. Played Frontier and First Encounters when they came out, and enjoyed them despite the bugs. Again, didn't get past Dangerous. Discovered Oolite accidentally in late 2011 and thoroughly approve. Oolite was the first one where I made it to Elite ranking - probably because there's always something new to do!

My OXPs

I have far more ideas for OXPs than I have time to implement, but here's what I've released so far.

Testing OXPs

I also have a few OXPs for testing new features in the SVN trunk version of Oolite. This version is not recommended for general play as it may at any time be horribly broken, but contains various new features that will probably be included in the next stable release of Oolite. OXP writers and testers may find these OXPs useful for quick access to the features and example code. None of them will work in Oolite 1.76
