Auto Crosshairs OXP ver. 1.1.1
Date: October 6th, 2014
Author: Wildeblood
Adds an equipment item which changes the way the gun-sight cross-hairs behave in Oolite. In standard Oolite the cross-hairs are static, and only differ in appearance depending on the type of weapons installed. Once the equipment (the Wildefire Systems Type 4 Gunsight) is purchased, the cross-hairs change shape to alert the pilot to the precise moment a target is centred. Please use responsibly - Wildefire Systems does not endorse or condone hostility between spacefarers.
The equipment can be bought at space ports with a technological level of 11 or above, for 1750 credits. No configuration is needed or normally possible. For players who can't resist tinkering inside OXPs, there is a parameter at the top of the javascript file (this.$precision = 2; // Whole number 1-5
), you could experiment with.

Alerting Crosshairs OXP ver. 1.0
Date: May 16th, 2013
Author: Wildeblood
Changes the way the gun-sight cross-hairs behave in Oolite. In standard Oolite the cross-hairs change appearance depending on the type of weapons installed. With this OXP installed the cross-hairs instead change depending on the current alert level. At green alert only a minimal centre-mark is shown. When other ships are in the vicinity the larger four-vaned cross-hair, previously associated with the pulse laser, appears. In combat situations the more complex cross-hair, previously associated with the military laser, appears.
The mining laser continues to have its distinctive gun-sight associated with it.
When the advanced space compass is set to its target tracking mode the combat cross-hairs appear, regardless of the current alert level.
No configuration is needed or possible.
