Smugglers - The Galactic Underworld

Hi, the article at Smugglers - The Galactic Underworld starts with a wall of text and it's kind of exhausting to get a short info about what this oxp is, so I made a very short intro at the beginning of the article. I hope you don't mind. If you find it boring or disturbing feel free to remove it. Greetings: Makarius 09:45, 11 September 2015 (BST) phkb: Complete.

To add in on this page

• AdjustPrimableEquipmentManager.oxz makes the Primable Equipment page more comprehensible.

phkb: The plan is to make this change to core code.

• Pirate Player.oxp by Phkb (2018) - one of his many experimental OXPs.

phkb: Added.

• Newest Risky Business version which includes cim's Risk Based Economy OXP

phkb: Added notes to indicate cim's OXP is included.

• No Flare OXP (Phkb, 2021: also needs Glare Clarifier OXP).

phkb: Added.

• Silent Asteroid Tweaks is an add-on to Asteroid Tweaks by Phkb which moves the interface screen to a less immersion-breaking location.

phkb: Not sure what I think on this one. I created as a purely personal OXP, without the intention of publishing it. Now that it's out, I was thinking of contacting spara to offer him the code so he could incorporate it into the original OXP. I think updating the original would be ideal, rather than having a 3rd party OXP kind of hijack the original.

cholly: agree!

phkb: Looks like spara has done this already.

• FixWolfs.oxz corrects a typo on the F7 planet description pages (should be Wolves) - Phkb (2018)

phkb: Again, the plan is to make this change to core code.

OXP's which I think need posting on the Expansions Manager

Risky Business (newest version)

Pirate Player (name draws attention to the possibility)

phkb: Not sure if this one should go on the DM. It is a very crude OXP, and the whole purpose in creating it was to see how it effects gameplay, particularly how NPC's deal with the player. I don't think, in it's current form, it should be distributed via the DM.

MaintenanceTuneUp

Remove Individual Pylon >> this is already on the EM.

phkb: All the others (and some from below) are definite candidates for the EM.

And I think that these should be in the vanilla game code

Remove Individual Pylon

Solar Flares

Planet Forests and Oceans

Equipment 'Sell Item' Color

Auto-prime equipment

'No Market' Notification

MaintenanceTuneUp

Idea!!

Why not combine them all and produce a Phkb Oolite Update OXP (or some such)?

Admiralty perks

I've updated your status, as promised. You can now edit the "protected" main page, delete pages and add others in as wiki editors!

The one thing I noticed was the "patrolling" business (red exclamation marks) which now appears when looking at changes to the wiki. Murgh told me not to bother (we don't have the issues which he has on Wikipedia.org with people posting utter bilge and the need to patrol arising from this), so apart from occasionally marking off changes as patrolled, I don't!

Daunting lists

I see that the conqueror of the F3 & F5F5 screen lists is currently generating a rival. For those of us who wallow in such matters, great!

For the new player, just more confusion (too much detail, too many choices, etc.).

Might there be point in having a small section above the lists with a cherry-picked smaller one of OXPs for new players?

You will need to edit this:

For "New Players"

Many of my OXZs add vitally-needed complexity, superior sophistication and sadly-lacking byzantine perplexities to the game. But some are designed for new players and might even prove of help to you if you qualify!

One OXZ to rule them all, One OXZ to find them, One OXZ to bring them all, and in Witchspace to bind them

• KickButt Mega-OXZ downloads all the following to your Ooniverse:

Helping with problems (docking/targeting)

• Autodock
• AutoPrime Equipment
• Fast Target Selector
• LaveInitialShipyard.oxz (not yet on EM?)

Managing information (better organized info, supplying missing info)

• Bulletin Board Contracts
• Change View Sound
• Display Current Course
• Equipment 'Sell Item' Color
• Expanded Weapon Info
• Loadout by Category
• Missile Summary
• 'No Market' Notification
• Xenon UI

Fixing oddities carried over from Classic Elite

• Escape Pod Slave Fix (not yet on EM?)
• Modern Start
• Planet Forests and Oceans
• Remove Individual Pylon
