heh-heh. Much prefer the old user-name to appear blue, never having been a particular fan of red... Will doubtless stick in some links to Elite Trader OXZ while I'm about it. (Just looked up how to do internal links with anchors)

I see that the Tea-plot thickens! Please, please put in a list of all your oxp's so that readers can see them grouped together.

Excellent point - the purpose of a user-page, no? Don't know about a list, but I've certainly worked OXZ links into the Guild's official entry for the Grocer (Buber, it turns out, is a G.E.T. scribe on the side), per your advice. There's a problem still with Goods Containers, as they are now two separate OXPs (a five and a ten-ton variant)... Please feel free to edit the page if you feel something lacks, but preserving the overall spirit and thrust. Reval (talk) 21:39, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

Just found this page - Oolite Ship Names - if you wish to add Laenina's Flux to it! It's not been updated since 2012! Cholmondeley 15:53, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Interesting find! Unfortunately, it looks as though it's a repository of player-ship images (and very pretty those are). Dor has just the bog-standard showroom model Asp - in fact they stole it from a showroom (the sibling in question being a used-ship salesfrog...) Reval (talk) 05:59, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

New: Linking your OXP pages together

Reval, how about adding an Elite-Trader Nav-Box template to your relevant wiki pages?

Something along the lines of the Vanilla-game Equipment template, but with links to all the OXPs in your suite? (click on the edit button on that page to see the relevant gubbins)

Or, more simply, inventing a new Category:Elite Trader OXP suite and including them in it? You need to get the name right at the outset as changing the name of a category is more complex than that of a standard wiki page.

Sounds intriguing... only problem is, I'd have no idea where (or how) to start... If you perchance have worked it out, I'd certainly appreciate some pointers!
