I play Oolite at least two hours a day, Styggron - very often more. I enjoy my career as an interstellar courier immensely, though it can be perilous in the extreme, more so than the life of a contrabandista, in fact - I have made powerful enemies!

Do you do special missions perhaps ? Am wondering what you do to pass the time and wouldn't it get a tiny bit tedius 2 hours a day ? I gather you have some special OXP's ?

Please don't get me wrong I ADORE Oolite. I posted a list of my OXP's above. :)
 
I rarely get bored with Oolite. It retains that old magic - just one more flight, and suddenly it's getting light outside, the birds are singing, and I've gone and done an all-nighter again! Happened last night - I hit the sack about 06:00 this morning.

I am an interstellar courier, specialising in diplomatic papers, weapons designs, and suchlike. I have made powerful enemies, who often send squads of assassins after me! Tonight, twenty-one of them jumped me as I emerged at Beritere!
 
Good morning. Here's a nice arrival in system at a trade outpost (out of dev/trunk version 1.79 with oxp's). :)

Is there a special OXP to give you courier missions ?
 
Nope, no OXP involved. Parcel contracts are available in core 1.77.1 - but they get really juicy in core 1.79.

Hmmm. Mine seems to be 1.77. The readme says 1.77. I just checked and yes there are lots of deliveries etc
I am on galactic map 3, I could never find that stolen ship from Xeer, looked everywhere in GalMap 3, nothing :(
 
So any new OXP's I should investigate ? I have not looked in oh.....3 months maybe.
The OXP market is slow lately, and the switch to OXZs is progressing. It's the emergent gameplay that's found in the dev version (1.79 - soon to be the new stable version 1.80) that fascinates me - the interaction between NPCs in their various roles.

A few of us were working on a new mission-type OXZ for 1.79/1.80 involving HIMSN, but that is currently stalled due to our coder having RL problems. As most of us know, RL can throw you a curve-ball at any time, usually without any warning.

WOW.... OXZ's ? I've not heard of them.
So there will be NPC interaction then....that's awesome.
 
Yeah, in 1.79 you can peruse, download, and install (from a growing list of well over a hundred already) OXZs direct from the game's start screen (OXZs need no unzipping).

As for NPCs - I had to rescue a fellow interstellar courier in an Adder the other day. The poor sod was being attacked by a squad of assassins. Of course, the assassins turned against me then, but I am practiced in the arts of evasion. Comes from years of experience as a contrabandista.
 
Ok I better grab 1.79 and put it in another directory so it does not mess with anything I already have.

Sounds like I need to check this out immediately. Hmmm only 1.77.1 on their site....and one berlios... I'll check a previous post as you have mentioned where to get it I'm pretty sure.

You like them? Cool! It was a group effort. Lots of people helped name areas and routes. It needed to be a group thing because that's the point of oolite, the make is part of the game.

I may have one or two print outs left kicking around some where. (I got a very good deal on some snazy a3's) Want one? :D

WOW these are FANTASTIC ! I love them. A giant big rep for you for this ! An outstanding contribution to Oolite.
 
I'd expect (in a battle where you are concerned) that both of those ships are now mere vapour being blown along with the stellar winds? ;)

I absolutely LOVE your maps.
As most know I am still in galactic map 3, searched everywhere on there and no sign of the missing ship.....ahhhh well.

As it happens, all three of them are spacedust, ma'am!

@Styggron - you still hunting that Constrictor?
