on the incident]]
A transport shuttle on a routine flight in Galaxy 4 is destroyed in a vicious attack that leaves fifty passengers and crew missing and presumed dead. While GalCop dispatches the Anti-Terrorism Unit to investigate, the shuttle's owners, [[Executive_SpaceWays|''Executive Spaceways'']]
, decide to approach Elite combat pilots to help uncover the truth behind the incident. However, in a galaxy that lies on the brink of war, the truth is a commodity too precious to be given away. Success will depend upon a pilot's skills in combat and negotiation; their decisions may well have an impact on the very future of the galaxy.

Trident Down is a multi-stage non-linear mission set scripted by [http://www.arcadia-digital.net/steve/Oolite/Oolite.html Ramirez] and includes a range of new ships, stations and weapon systems. Among the new models are variations of resources originally produced by Ramon, Dr Nil, Griff, Giles, Murgh, Wombat and LittleBear, plus some others specially created for this OXP.

Version 0.4 of Trident Down has been produced and tested on Oolite v1.65, but also runs on v1.69 onwards.

[http://www.arcadia-digital.net/steve/Oolite/Missions/Trident%20Down%20v0.4.zip Download Trident Down v0.4], last updated on 29th September 2007.

== Difficulty Rating ==

"Easy" to "Iron Ass". The missions you face increase in difficulty as you progress - not only will your opponents become stronger but you will also receive less guidance on how to complete your objectives. You will often only have one chance to succeed, and failure can open open up a whole new set of problems that need to be solved.

== Main Features ==
[[Image:ATUBBC.png|left|thumb|200px|A Bandy-Bandy Courier operated by the ATU]]
Trident Down features a complex multi-threaded storyline with 9 different possible endings, involving over 150 mission briefing screens amounting to around 19,000 words of text. The OXP adds several new ship and station variants, advanced weapon systems, new AIs and hails, and changes to Systems in response to events. Among the new powers and organisations featured are the GalCop Anti-Terrorism Unit (the ATU), Jane's Shipyard Intelligence, The Bianti Telegraph, The League of Anarchists and OKB Korshkov, as well as a large cast of individual characters all with their own political agendas.

== Installing & Playing ==

Unzip the download file and move the "Trident Down v0.4.oxp" into Oolite's AddOns folder. The mission makes use of data contained in several other OXPs and so requires the following to be installed:

*Aegidian's X-Ships

*Commies by Dr Nil

*[[Executive_SpaceWays|''Executive Spaceways'']] [http://www.arcadia-digital.net/steve/Oolite/Oolite.html by Ramirez]

*Marett Space Corporation by Ramon

*Murgh's X-Ships

*Nu Vipers by Aegidian

*Saleza Aeronautics by [http://www.arcadia-digital.net/steve/Oolite/Oolite.html Ramirez]

*Transports by Murgh

The latest versions of these OXPs can be downloaded from the Oolite Wiki's [[OXP| OXP page]].

Once installed, the first event will occur when you are docked at a main station in Galaxy 4 with a combat rating of Competent or above. In addition to briefings received directly from various organisations, news reports will keep you up to date on the latest events. Be aware that these updates are only available from main stations, however, and so you should make a point of checking in every so often for any details on developments.

Trident Down is non-linear in structure and failure is often an option. If a task does not succeed, you should report back to your contact or follow any instructions and attempt to remedy the situation.

== Version Notes ==

Trident Down is currently at Version 0.4; this contains the complete storyline and all the necessary additional resources to run the mission successfully. Detailed instructions are included in the readme for continuing a saved game from previous versions of the OXP.

Executive SpaceWays

2007-12-10T23:40:28Z

Mrtchandler:

Executive SpaceWays is a passenger transport company based on Lavebe in Galaxy Four. Founded by notable minerals magnate Gide van Heysel, Executive has built a strong reputation both for its flight services and its spacecraft designs, and counts many politicians, celebrities and business leaders amongst its clients.

== Beginnings ==

Executive SpaceWays has its origins in the early days of Gide van Heysel's professional career. As an apprentice engineer, van Heysel was often required to travel to far-flung mining outposts for which passenger services were extremely limited, frequently operating obsolescent craft with questionable safety records. While tourists and celebrities enjoyed the comforts of the latest high-speed starliners, the millions of workers employed by the mining industry were forced to endure month-long journeys in slow and uncomfortable transport vessels.

Years later, having made billions with his metallurgical research company, GvH Engineering, van Heysel finally took the opportunity to redress the balance and commissioned a local design bureau, OKB Korshkov, to construct a high speed passenger transport for use by his employees and clients. After a lenghty evaluation period involving numerous different prototypes, the design known as H-4 was selected for production. Upon its official launch, at GvH's headquarters on Lavebe, the craft was officially named by van Heysel as the [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident Executive Shuttle'']].

== Passenger Services==

By the time of the [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident's'']] launch, the project had gathered considerable public interest and van Heysel had begun to recognise the potential in offering reliable transport services to the wider business community. A subsidiary company, Executive SpaceWays, was created to manage flight operations and soon the [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident'']] was seeing service in many of the Galaxy's more stable systems.

The [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident'']] services proved to be a massive success, and with prospects riding high the company re-invested a large proportion of its profits into another development, a proposed long-range cruise liner. However, Executive was dealt a terrible blow when a [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident'']] was destroyed in a suspected pirate attack near the People’s Republic of Raceedat. To quell public concern over passenger security, van Heysel immediately instructed his engineering department (which had since taken over from Korskhov as the ship’s primary manufacturer) to develop an escort fighter which could protect future flights from similar attacks.

== The Gemini Programme ==

Under great pressure, Executive’s engineers re-used elements of the [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident'']] design to construct a small two-man fighter which could be pushed into production as quickly as possible. Lacking any detailed knowledge of weapon design, the company could only equip the fighter with a commercially-available beam laser, although space was found for four missile pylons. To make up for the shortfalls in the spaceframe design, the set of navigational avionics found on the [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident'']] was replaced by a set of more combat-orientated systems, while Gide van Heysel launched a recruitment drive to attract former Navy pilots with combat experience. Against the odds, the [[Gemini_Escort|Gemini]] Programme (so-called because of its two-man crew) was a success, and once Executive had recovered its own financial position, the [[Gemini_Escort|''E-3 Gemini Escort'']] was marketed to other spacelines as an effective escort ship in its own right.

== Delta and Strelka ==

Executive’s engineers were never totally happy with the [[Gemini_Escort|Gemini]], particularly its short range as it prevented it from escorting long-haul flights. An improvement programme was duly undertaken, resulting in the release of the [[Delta_Long-Range_Escort|''E-5 Delta Long-Range Escort'']]. Along with the [[Gemini_Escort|Gemini]], the [[Delta_Long-Range_Escort|Delta]] soon became an escort of choice for many spacelines and traders.

With the [[Delta_Long-Range_Escort|Delta]] in service, the opportunity arose for Executive to return to its postponed cruise liner programme. Despite the luxury enjoyed by Trident passengers, on longer routes the need for multiple stopovers was found to incur frequent delays and increasingly-exorbitant docking charges. The only alternative for long-haul flights, given the 7 light-year witchjump barrier, was to refuel at each system en route by sunskimming, only making port at the flight’s final destination. Although a popular technique for pilots of smaller ships, sunskimming was rarely used as a refuelling method by larger transports due to the control instability experienced within a star’s corona. The challenge for Executive’s engineers was to build a ship that could harness the resources of the stars without affecting the level of comfort experienced by passengers.

In partnership with OKB Korshkov, Executive developed an integrated fuel scoop and engine assembly to allow sunskimming to be carried out at the utmost efficiency: on many ships, the installation of scoops involves additional pipework that can be as little as 40% efficient. Heat shielding was applied to the underside of the ship, and in addition a plasma field generator, developed from shield booster technology, was installed to prevent the magnetic field in the corona from interfering with the ship’s systems. In a further drive for efficiency, the flow of charged particles through the scoop was used to generate on-board electrical power through magnetohydrodynamic induction. The efficiency of the engine and fuel scoop delivered by these methods meant that sunskimming could be achieved in the higher levels of the coronal astmosphere, reducing the risk of damage to the ship and further cutting down on flight times. It also meant that in terms of fuel and energy, the ship was virtually self-sufficient and could travel non-stop to the most distant locations in the galaxy.

The ship, officially named as the H-7 Strelka CruiseLiner, now acts as the flagship of the Executive SpaceWays line, and can be encountered in high-tech stable systems accompanied by a group of [[Delta_Long-Range_Escort|Delta Escorts]].

== StarSeeker ==

In the wake of the success of the Strelka, Exectuve's latest model, the P-3 StarSeeker, was developed specifically to tap into the growing private transport market. While passenger cabin conversion kits had long been available from most major shipyards, the level of comfort offered by such producs varied wildly and compatibility issues often arose when attemping to fit the cabins in non-standard spacecraft. Using experience gained from work on the [[Gemini_Escort|Gemini]] and the Trident, Executive SpaceWays sought to develop a small craft optimised for passenger transport, with all the necessary life support and intercom systems fitted as standard. Although more expensive than a typical transport, the StarSeeker comes with guaranteed engineering standards and is a popular choice for VIPs and small courier firms.

Mrtchandler: /* The Gemini Programme */

Executive SpaceWays is a passenger transport company based on Lavebe in Galaxy Four. Founded by notable minerals magnate Gide van Heysel, Executive has built a strong reputation both for its flight services and its spacecraft designs, and counts many politicians, celebrities and business leaders amongst its clients.

== Beginnings ==

Executive SpaceWays has its origins in the early days of Gide van Heysel's professional career. As an apprentice engineer, van Heysel was often required to travel to far-flung mining outposts for which passenger services were extremely limited, frequently operating obsolescent craft with questionable safety records. While tourists and celebrities enjoyed the comforts of the latest high-speed starliners, the millions of workers employed by the mining industry were forced to endure month-long journeys in slow and uncomfortable transport vessels.

Years later, having made billions with his metallurgical research company, GvH Engineering, van Heysel finally took the opportunity to redress the balance and commissioned a local design bureau, OKB Korshkov, to construct a high speed passenger transport for use by his employees and clients. After a lenghty evaluation period involving numerous different prototypes, the design known as H-4 was selected for production. Upon its official launch, at GvH's headquarters on Lavebe, the craft was officially named by van Heysel as the [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident Executive Shuttle'']].

== Passenger Services==

By the time of the [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident's'']] launch, the project had gathered considerable public interest and van Heysel had begun to recognise the potential in offering reliable transport services to the wider business community. A subsidiary company, Executive SpaceWays, was created to manage flight operations and soon the [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident'']] was seeing service in many of the Galaxy's more stable systems.

The [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident'']] services proved to be a massive success, and with prospects riding high the company re-invested a large proportion of its profits into another development, a proposed long-range cruise liner. However, Executive was dealt a terrible blow when a [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident'']] was destroyed in a suspected pirate attack near the People’s Republic of Raceedat. To quell public concern over passenger security, van Heysel immediately instructed his engineering department (which had since taken over from Korskhov as the ship’s primary manufacturer) to develop an escort fighter which could protect future flights from similar attacks.

== The Gemini Programme ==

Under great pressure, Executive’s engineers re-used elements of the [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident'']] design to construct a small two-man fighter which could be pushed into production as quickly as possible. Lacking any detailed knowledge of weapon design, the company could only equip the fighter with a commercially-available beam laser, although space was found for four missile pylons. To make up for the shortfalls in the spaceframe design, the set of navigational avionics found on the [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''Trident'']] was replaced by a set of more combat-orientated systems, while Gide van Heysel launched a recruitment drive to attract former Navy pilots with combat experience. Against the odds, the [[Gemini_Escort|Gemini]] Programme (so-called because of its two-man crew) was a success, and once Executive had recovered its own financial position, the [[Gemini_Escort|''E-3 Gemini Escort'']] was marketed to other spacelines as an effective escort ship in its own right.

== Delta and Strelka ==

Executive’s engineers were never totally happy with the Gemini, particularly its short range as it prevented it from escorting long-haul flights. An improvement programme was duly undertaken, resulting in the release of the E-5 Delta Long-Range Escort. Along with the Gemini, the Delta soon became an escort of choice for many spacelines and traders.

With the Delta in service, the opportunity arose for Executive to return to its postponed cruise liner programme. Despite the luxury enjoyed by Trident passengers, on longer routes the need for multiple stopovers was found to incur frequent delays and increasingly-exorbitant docking charges. The only alternative for long-haul flights, given the 7 light-year witchjump barrier, was to refuel at each system en route by sunskimming, only making port at the flight’s final destination. Although a popular technique for pilots of smaller ships, sunskimming was rarely used as a refuelling method by larger transports due to the control instability experienced within a star’s corona. The challenge for Executive’s engineers was to build a ship that could harness the resources of the stars without affecting the level of comfort experienced by passengers.

In partnership with OKB Korshkov, Executive developed an integrated fuel scoop and engine assembly to allow sunskimming to be carried out at the utmost efficiency: on many ships, the installation of scoops involves additional pipework that can be as little as 40% efficient. Heat shielding was applied to the underside of the ship, and in addition a plasma field generator, developed from shield booster technology, was installed to prevent the magnetic field in the corona from interfering with the ship’s systems. In a further drive for efficiency, the flow of charged particles through the scoop was used to generate on-board electrical power through magnetohydrodynamic induction. The efficiency of the engine and fuel scoop delivered by these methods meant that sunskimming could be achieved in the higher levels of the coronal astmosphere, reducing the risk of damage to the ship and further cutting down on flight times. It also meant that in terms of fuel and energy, the ship was virtually self-sufficient and could travel non-stop to the most distant locations in the galaxy.

The ship, officially named as the H-7 Strelka CruiseLiner, now acts as the flagship of the Executive SpaceWays line, and can be encountered in high-tech stable systems accompanied by a group of Delta Escorts.

== StarSeeker ==

In the wake of the success of the Strelka, Exectuve's latest model, the P-3 StarSeeker, was developed specifically to tap into the growing private transport market. While passenger cabin conversion kits had long been available from most major shipyards, the level of comfort offered by such producs varied wildly and compatibility issues often arose when attemping to fit the cabins in non-standard spacecraft.

== Overview ==

The firefly was a derivative of [[Swift|''Swift'']] from [[Benulobiweed_Inc.|''Benulobiweed Inc.'']]

To quote "The Firefly was an attempt by Benulobiweed to add extra cargo capacity to the Swift by the simple expedient of adding a detachable cargo pod within the open framework of the hull. After a rethink of the Swift design, A managed to rectify the handling dificulties as well as add cargo and crew accomodation and named it the Tepui and a short while after, the Tepui's variant the Lampyris."

== Notable Features ==

Very small, fast and agile, but a little fragile. Beam laser to the Fore with Twin Plasma Cannon to the aft.

== Comment ==

The firefly is unlikely to be available and only two where ever made, you could be lucky and see A or Dr H.Z. flying theirs or simply see it exploding while [[Other_fictitious_magazines|''What Craft'']] have one on test.

== Overview ==

The firefly was a derivative of [[Swift|''Swift'']] from [[Benulobiweed_Inc.|''Benulobiweed Inc.'']]

To quote "The Firefly was an attempt by Benulobiweed to add extra cargo capacity to the Swift by the simple expedient of adding a detachable cargo pod within the open framework of the hull. After a rethink of the Swift design, A managed to rectify the handling dificulties as well as add cargo and crew accomodation and named it the Tepui and a short while after, the Tepui's variant the Lampyris."

== Comment ==

The firefly is not available and only two where ever made, you could be lucky and see A or Dr H.Z. flying around or simply see it exploding while What Craft have one on test.

Delta Long-Range Escort

== Overview ==

Executive’s engineers were never totally happy with the [[Gemini_Escort|''Gemini'']], particularly its short range as it prevented it from escorting long-haul flights. An improvement programme was duly undertaken, resulting in the release of the E-5 Delta Long-Range Escort. Along with the [[Gemini_Escort|''Gemini'']], the Delta soon became an escort of choice for many spacelines and traders.

== Notable Features ==

The E-5 Delta represents an evolution of the [[Gemini_Escort|''Gemini'']] in response to customer demand for an escort/interceptor craft in which speed and endurance is of greater priority than manoeuvrability. Fitted with the same avionics suite found in the [[Gemini_Escort|''Gemini'']], the Delta is perfectly suited to act as an escort to large, long-range transports, or as a high-speed
interceptor for police and security organisations.

== Overview ==

The E-3 Gemini is a two-man twin-engine fighter originally developed to accompany the [[Trident_Executive_Shuttle|''H-4 Trident'']] but has become a respected escort craft in its own right.

== Notable Features ==

Building on the technology developed for its predecessor, the Gemini’s avionics suite is optimised for combat operations, with enhanced scanners and targeting equipment fitted as standard.

The [[Delta_Long-Range_Escort|''E-5 Delta'']] represents an evolution of the Gemini

No, no one is looking for money donations.

What we're after is donations of time and writing skills to add and update the articles on this site. Currently, anyone can join in the fun. In particular, [[:Category:Oolite|Oolite]] should be prioritized because apart from the download and development sites, there is not much in the way of online information (such as how to run on various operating systems or how to write mods for the game).
