Oolite

Oolite

Oolite is a retro 3D Space Simulation in the style of the classic Elite.

The aim of the game is to fly from planet to planet, buying and selling goods, shooting pirates or committing acts of piracy.

There are several missions, and the game is expandable and many expansion packs and mods are available.

Oolite is designed as a small game that is easy for users to pick up and expand upon. Almost every aspect of the game can be modified using simple, free graphics packages and text editors.
