Sometime ago I posted some images on the [http://www.aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4494&start=3075#p172216 Screenshots thread] of the [http://aegidian.org/bb/ Oolite BB], of what is possible with [[Griff_Industries#Griff.27s_Normalmapped_Ships_OXPs|Griff's multi-decal Player Cobra Mk III]] OXP. I mentioned that I have a lioness on the back of my [[Cobra_Mk.3_(Oolite)|Cobbie 3]] hunters. [[User:El_Viejo|El Viejo]] suggested that jaguars might be better. This formed an idea in my head and Jaguar Company was born.

== Overview ==
Adds in an Elite group of pilots to patrol the space lanes in Anarchy, Feudal and Multi-Government systems. Jaguar Company can also be found sometimes in interstellar space.

The members of Jaguar Company are part-time reservists so there is a chance that they will appear if there is a major Galactic Naval convoy in the system.

This OXP adds new equipment, a new missile and a black box locator.

== Requirements ==
* [[Oolite]] 1.75+
* [[Cabal_Common_Library|Cabal Common Library]]

== Optional OXPs ==
* [[OXPConfig]] - For log control of this OXP.
* [[Snoopers|Snoopers OXP]] - For news alerts from various sources including Jaguar Company pilots.
* [[Galactic_Navy|Galactic Navy]] - Jaguar Company sometimes patrol with the Galactic Navy.

This is highly recommended.
* [[Talkative_Space_Compass]] - Easy identification of Jaguar Company beacon codes. (Or a HUD that does similar reporting.)

Murgh: another img, sp

[[File:Trumblebox-blackBG.png||thumb|right|200px|Though not responsible for the organism's appalling rate of reproduction, the young Murgh did craft the obscenely cute gaze of this inauspicious and undesired mascot.]]
'''Murgh''', an oldtimer of the first wave of the Oolite era who briefly showed traits of intense and profligate industry, before he suddenly vanished into the soupy fog of a distant nebula.

Initially scouted from the factory floor of [[GenFun]] by the august benefactor [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]], who saw beyond the excessive exuberance of the young sycophant and took notice of his sickly cute tweaks to the latest genetic modifications of the [[Trumble]] menace. He was taken from obscurity and given the means to try his hand on material construction in a few diverse fields. A brief but chaotic reign running the [[Murgh Shipyards]] saw the construction of several ships and stations, as well as running a space-taxi service and an advertising firm on the side, with varying success.

Perhaps fundamentally unsuited to the pressures of such widespread consumer demands, his career came to a sudden halt in the middle of the production of a new announced [[Racers|racing league]], as shoddy work was found strewn about, dumbfounded investors left empty-handed, and the supposed creator nowhere to be found.
[[File:DisoB2 LS.png |thumb|right|520px|Diso B2 Station, once "a first" with optimism, now a derelict outpost in a mass-lock maze with a permanently crashed market, though surrounded by a kaleidoscopic nebulae tapestry.]]

Decades since, accounts of a creature going by the name of '''Old Murgh''' indicate this may be the same individual having made a diametric occupational shift. Presently be located somewhere in the [[Sector1/Teveri|Teveri]] system, trading wine and other evil juices and describing himself as a humble wine-wallah, he consults patrons on complementing grubs and exotic foods with [[Sector1/Ribilebi|Ribilebian]] burgundies, [[Sector1/Ditiza|Ditizaian]] sherries, and [[Sector1/Leesti|Leestiian]] tokays, for a fee.

==Station constructions==
[[File:Globestation2.png|thumb|left|200px|The ill-conceived Globe station.]]
Irresponsibly toying with implementing alternate shapes to the classic [[Coriolis Station (Oolite)|cuboctahedral Coriolis]], the [[Dodecahedron Station (Oolite)|Dodecahedron]] and the [[Icosahedron Station (Oolite)|Icosahedron]], Murgh found funding to go ahead with the construction of a beveled octahedron B2 prototype at [[Sector1/Diso|Diso]]. As the money and enthusiasm dissipated, no further such stations were ever built.

[[Image:Oolite-torusLS.jpg|thumb|right|340px|The seminal Torus station at Onrira, before refurbishment. Initial designs proved hazardous as the construction was prone to spontaneously burst into a swarm of its constituent cells.]]
Consumed by egocentricity, Murgh's only response to this failure was to steam forward in a yet grander scale. The [[Globe station]] was promptly constructed, but also this project failed to capture the imagination of the public. Possibly due to the station bearing little distinguishable difference to a common planetary body, no further stations were ordered. A huge financial blow to Murgh Industries, spiteful tongues have for unknown reasons referred to the Globe station as a "death star".

Deep in a funk following repeated failure, Murgh happened upon a rare stroke of genius with the construction of the [[Torus station]]. Drawing inspiration from ancient cinema of unknown origin, this station was impressive to behold, but its true brilliance was found in the inexpensive nature of construction. Small modular pods were fabricated separately and programmed to auto-join, making the assembly phase the cheapest and safest station construction in the business. The triumph was short-lived however, as the tori proved equally easy to disassemble, causing mass casualties, obviously negating the previously set safety records. Upon foreclosure of Murgh Industries, other companies amended these issues, and the design may occasionally be seen in planetary systems.

[[file:droidship_s1.png|thumb|left|320px|Ad droidships was the preferred medium of Murgh's advertising firm.]]
==Advertising==
Already proven inclined to opt for profit while untroubled by conscience, the lure of the advertising racked proved irresistible to the young Murgh. Before the construction of a sizeable a fleet of advertising droidships was even finished, the newly formed promotion agency Murgh PR had landed contracts from a wide array of fields, ranging from the arms industry to the most questionable of all health sectors, the fungal cure alternative medicine.

Public announcement campaigns on behalf of the [[GalCop (Police)|GalCop police authority]] were initially cause for optimism, and after wooing Hatchling CEO Ludo Van Der Budenmayer, Murgh PR secured the campaign to launch the highly anticipated luxury speed ship [[BoyRacer]], which in resulted in euphoria, though prematurely. The joy quickly transformed to dread with the subsequent scandal in the wake of numerous tragic accidents as BoyRacers were revealed to come equipped with subpar automated steering. The unusually gruesome nature of these accidents made the affair a PR nightmare, leaving even PR firms such as Murgh's with no favourable solutions. The lineup of wealthy plaintiff ensured the demise of Hatchling, and Murgh PR was nearly caught in the wave of bankruptcies that ensued.

[[File:OOAdsplash2.jpg|right|thumb|600px|The so-called advert hall of fame, showcasing campaigns that all went unrecognised at awards ceremonies.]]
Though pulling in some revenue for a limited time, the Murgh ad firm was tainted. At advertisement awards ceremonies, the firm garnered precisely zero awards, and in an industry so dependent on laurels and the steady flow of fumes up one's rear by one's peers and rivals, the days of this venture, too, was numbered.

[[File:Murgh WPB 2004.png|thumb|right|200px|Murgh's submitted blueprint model for the announced Witchspace Point beacon contract which was ultimately rejected.]]
==Ship construction==
===Nascent career===
Despite all side gigs, Murgh yearned most to be a respected shipbuilder, to become a personage first and foremost associated with the vessels that make possible the noble act of interstellar navigation, the finest starcraft, synonymous with safety, innovation and style. As with many such dreams, these were not remotely anchored in reality.

[[File:AuldLaveBeacon.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The initial ridiculous Murgh proposal for a Witchspace beacon.]]Murgh first dared to dream when the magnificent Aegidian suggested he turn his hand on building something of use, rather than designing hypercopulating vermin. Granted access to the inner circles of true industry, Murgh became elated when the venerable one appeared favourable to a suggestion of the new concept of placing a series of beacons at the [[witchspace]] convergence point.
Mirthful, Murgh presented the elder with his blueprint for such a beacon, daring to dream that this time too, perhaps, his design would be chosen. It would not, a different path was chosen, but instead being gutted , Murgh found in himself an optimism, a path to honing his building skills, and one day, to make something of himself.
[[File:InitialMoai1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moai moai] submission for the TOGY contract. It didn't turn out like this.]]
[[File:TOGYmoai.png|thumb|right|320px|The moai located in the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard as it came to be in the end, crudely defaced and intentionally poorly lit.]]

===First commission===
Early on in the efforts of honing his abilities, the young Murgh received a commission for a spiritual memorial stone to contribute to the long-neglected [[Tionisla Orbital Graveyard]], whose foundation trust had recently come into some much-needed funds. With aplomb, Murgh sculpted an homage to the most ancient of navigators, the deadest of the dead, and submitted the work to the esteemed body of selectors. It was received with little comment, though it was remarked that the sculpture appeared to lack ears. It was nevertheless admitted to the body of monuments. Murgh outstayed his welcome, however, with unreasonable demands that the monument be given eternal spotlights, and the relationship with the TOGY board soon grew cold. The board had the last laugh, as the monument to date appears to orbit in perpetual obscurity.

Some years later it became evident that this ill will was not forgotten, when Murgh approached the TOGY foundation with a proposal to populate the stellar necropolis with advertising droids, and was met with contemptuous scorn. An olive branch from Murgh PR in the form of a promotional campaign with an aim to appease did little to mend the relations, possibly due to the work suffering from spelling errors.

[[File:Heirloom-splash.jpg|right|thumb|350px|An aggressive ad campaign made Murgh's frugal, rust-covered ships difficult to ignore.]]
===Shipyard years===
At long last, the young Murgh had some funds and as well as some investor confidence to establish his own construction facility. Murgh Shipyards was born. Casting his net again perhaps too widely, he began construction of ships of his own somewhat radical designs, while simultaneously recreating a series of designs once thought lost to posterity, and being of a mind never to waste perfectly useable material, he also set up a subdivision dedicated to restore derelict wrecks to adequate requirements within a margin of safety levels. His vision was to create ships for all manner of creatures, all manner of credit rating.

The rollout of the [[Heirloom ships|Heirloom series]], the range of ships past their prime renovated to quite near spaceworthy standards, was a decisive success, in no small part aided by an aggressive advertisement campaign by Murgh PR. There was a niche in the market for implausibly cheap spacecraft, and plenty of spacefarers so desperate for interstellar mobility that they would disregard a moderate element of death hazard. Furthermore, to trade in one's newer spacecraft in order to claim the credit balance and then invest in other expensive equipment soon came into vogue, and having predicted this, Murgh was prematurely declared a genius.

Murgh: add first WPB image

[[File:Trumblebox-blackBG.png||thumb|right|200px|Though not responsible for the organism's appalling rate of reproduction, the young Murgh did craft the obscenely cute gaze of this inauspicious and undesired mascot.]]
'''Murgh''', an oldtimer of the first wave of the Oolite era who briefly showed traits of intense and profligate industry, before he suddenly vanished into the soupy fog of a distant nebula.

Initially scouted from the factory floor of [[GenFun]] by the august benefactor [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]], who saw beyond the excessive exuberance of the young sycophant and took notice of his sickly cute tweaks to the latest genetic modifications of the [[Trumble]] menace. He was taken from obscurity and given the means to try his hand on material construction in a few diverse fields. A brief but chaotic reign running the [[Murgh Shipyards]] saw the construction of several ships and stations, as well as running a space-taxi service and an advertising firm on the side, with varying success.

Perhaps fundamentally unsuited to the pressures of such widespread consumer demands, his career came to a sudden halt in the middle of the production of a new announced [[Racers|racing league]], as shoddy work was found strewn about, dumbfounded investors left empty-handed, and the supposed creator nowhere to be found.
[[File:DisoB2 LS.png |thumb|right|520px|Diso B2 Station, once "a first" with optimism, now a derelict outpost in a mass-lock maze with a permanently crashed market, though surrounded by a kaleidoscopic nebulae tapestry.]]

Decades since, accounts of a creature going by the name of '''Old Murgh''' indicate this may be the same individual having made a diametric occupational shift. Presently be located somewhere in the [[Sector1/Teveri|Teveri]] system, trading wine and other evil juices and describing himself as a humble wine-wallah, he consults patrons on complementing grubs and exotic foods with [[Sector1/Ribilebi|Ribilebian]] burgundies, [[Sector1/Ditiza|Ditizaian]] sherries, and [[Sector1/Leesti|Leestiian]] tokays, for a fee.

==Station constructions==
[[File:Globestation2.png|thumb|left|200px|The ill-conceived Globe station.]]
Irresponsibly toying with implementing alternate shapes to the classic [[Coriolis Station (Oolite)|cuboctahedral Coriolis]], the [[Dodecahedron Station (Oolite)|Dodecahedron]] and the [[Icosahedron Station (Oolite)|Icosahedron]], Murgh found funding to go ahead with the construction of a beveled octahedron B2 prototype at [[Sector1/Diso|Diso]]. As the money and enthusiasm dissipated, no further such stations were ever built.

[[Image:Oolite-torusLS.jpg|thumb|right|340px|The seminal Torus station at Onrira, before refurbishment. Initial designs proved hazardous as the construction was prone to spontaneously burst into a swarm of its constituent cells.]]
Consumed by egocentricity, Murgh's only response to this failure was to steam forward in a yet grander scale. The [[Globe station]] was promptly constructed, but also this project failed to capture the imagination of the public. Possibly due to the station bearing little distinguishable difference to a common planetary body, no further stations were ordered. A huge financial blow to Murgh Industries, spiteful tongues have for unknown reasons referred to the Globe station as a "death star".

Deep in a funk following repeated failure, Murgh happened upon a rare stroke of genius with the construction of the [[Torus station]]. Drawing inspiration from ancient cinema of unknown origin, this station was impressive to behold, but its true brilliance was found in the inexpensive nature of construction. Small modular pods were fabricated separately and programmed to auto-join, making the assembly phase the cheapest and safest station construction in the business. The triumph was short-lived however, as the tori proved equally easy to disassemble, causing mass casualties, obviously negating the previously set safety records. Upon foreclosure of Murgh Industries, other companies amended these issues, and the design may occasionally be seen in planetary systems.

[[file:droidship_s1.png|thumb|left|320px|Ad droidships was the preferred medium of Murgh's advertising firm.]]
==Advertising==
Already proven inclined to opt for profit while untroubled by conscience, the lure of the advertising racked proved irresistible to the young Murgh. Before the construction of a sizeable a fleet of advertising droidships was even finished, the newly formed promotion agency Murgh PR had landed contracts from a wide array of fields, ranging from the arms industry to the most questionable of all health sectors, the fungal cure alternative medicine.

Public announcement campaigns on behalf of the [[GalCop (Police)|GalCop police authority]] were initially cause for optimism, and after wooing Hatchling CEO Ludo Van Der Budenmayer, Murgh PR secured the campaign to launch the highly anticipated luxury speed ship [[BoyRacer]], which in resulted in euphoria, though prematurely. The joy quickly transformed to dread with the subsequent scandal in the wake of numerous tragic accidents as BoyRacers were revealed to come equipped with subpar automated steering. The unusually gruesome nature of these accidents made the affair a PR nightmare, leaving even PR firms such as Murgh's with no favourable solutions. The lineup of wealthy plaintiff ensured the demise of Hatchling, and Murgh PR was nearly caught in the wave of bankruptcies that ensued.

[[File:OOAdsplash2.jpg|right|thumb|600px|The so-called advert hall of fame, showcasing campaigns that all went unrecognised at awards ceremonies.]]
Though pulling in some revenue for a limited time, the Murgh ad firm was tainted. At advertisement awards ceremonies, the firm garnered precisely zero awards, and in an industry so dependent on laurels and the steady flow of fumes up one's rear by one's peers and rivals, the days of this venture, too, was numbered.

[[File:Murgh WPB 2004.png|thumb|right|200px|Murgh's submitted blueprint model for the announced Witchspace Point beacon contract which was ultimately rejected.]]
==Ship construction==
===Nascent career===
Despite all side gigs, Murgh yearned most to be a respected shipbuilder, to become a personage first and foremost associated with the vessels that make possible the noble act of interstellar navigation, the finest starcraft, synonymous with safety, innovation and style. As with many such dreams, these were not remotely anchored in reality.

[[File:AuldLaveBeacon.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The initial ridiculous Murgh proposal for a Witxhspace beacon.]]Murgh first dared to dream when the magnificent Aegidian suggested he turn his hand on building something of use, rather than designing hypercopulating vermin. Granted access to the inner circles of true industry, Murgh became elated when the venerable one appeared favourable to a suggestion of the new concept of placing a series of beacons at the [[witchspace]] convergence point.
Mirthful, Murgh presented the elder with his blueprint for such a beacon, daring to dream that this time too, perhaps, his design would be chosen. It would not, a different path was chosen, but instead being gutted , Murgh found in himself an optimism, a path to honing his building skills, and one day, to make something of himself.
[[File:TOGYmoai.png|thumb|left|320px|A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moai moai] located in the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard, intentionally poorly lit.]]

===First commission===
Early on in the efforts of honing his abilities, the young Murgh received a commission for a spiritual memorial stone to contribute to the long-neglected [[Tionisla Orbital Graveyard]], whose foundation trust had recently come into some much-needed funds. With aplomb, Murgh sculpted an homage to the most ancient of navigators, the deadest of the dead, and submitted the work to the esteemed body of selectors. It was received with little comment, though it was remarked that the sculpture appeared to lack ears. It was nevertheless admitted to the body of monuments. Murgh outstayed his welcome, however, with unreasonable demands that the monument be given eternal spotlights, and the relationship with the TOGY board soon grew cold. The board had the last laugh, as the monument to date appears to orbit in perpetual obscurity.

Some years later it became evident that this ill will was not forgotten, when Murgh approached the TOGY foundation with a proposal to populate the stellar necropolis with advertising droids, and was met with contemptuous scorn. An olive branch from Murgh PR in the form of a promotional campaign with an aim to appease did little to mend the relations, possibly due to the work suffering from spelling errors.

[[File:Heirloom-splash.jpg|right|thumb|350px|An aggressive ad campaign made Murgh's frugal, rust-covered ships difficult to ignore.]]
===Shipyard years===
At long last, the young Murgh had some funds and as well as some investor confidence to establish his own construction facility. Murgh Shipyards was born. Casting his net again perhaps too widely, he began construction of ships of his own somewhat radical designs, while simultaneously recreating a series of designs once thought lost to posterity, and being of a mind never to waste perfectly useable material, he also set up a subdivision dedicated to restore derelict wrecks to adequate requirements within a margin of safety levels. His vision was to create ships for all manner of creatures, all manner of credit rating.

The rollout of the [[Heirloom ships|Heirloom series]], the range of ships past their prime renovated to quite near spaceworthy standards, was a decisive success, in no small part aided by an aggressive advertisement campaign by Murgh PR. There was a niche in the market for implausibly cheap spacecraft, and plenty of spacefarers so desperate for interstellar mobility that they would disregard a moderate element of death hazard. Furthermore, to trade in one's newer spacecraft in order to claim the credit balance and then invest in other expensive equipment soon came into vogue, and having predicted this, Murgh was prematurely declared a genius.

== Overview ==

A large cargo capacity for its size makes it a good middling trader ship but the Transporter is somewhat thin-skinned and ugly. The large flat shape makes it quite vulnerable to attack.

== Notable Features ==

One of the smallest ships available with a turret.

== Disadvantages ==

== Verdict ==

Suitable for milkruns only. Trade in as soon as possible.

== Overview ==

Somewhat rare these days the Python has the size of a medium trader but flies like a large fighter. The Python became notorious in the past as a pirate ship but now days is more commonly seen as Taxi and passenger craft. Good acceleration for its size and an a quick turning circle makes the Python a viable large fighter.

== Notable Features ==

== Disadvantages ==

Because the Python is rather old it requires a large crew to Pilot.

== Overview ==
When an update of the [[GalCop]] interstellar conventions prohibited medical ships from carrying heavy weaponry some modifications to the [[Moray Medical Boat (Oolite)|Moray Medical Boat (Oolite)]] became necessary. The layouts of [[Medical Designs Technology]] won the bidding of [[Marine Trench Co.]] and the production of the series 02 started. Different to series 01 the missile pods were removed in exchange for 2 front {{EQ_PULSE_LASER}}s, some more cargo space and a possible enhancement with {{EQ_NAVAL_SHIELD_BOOSTER}}.

The combination of weak armament and a load of medical supplies make them a preferred victim for piracy. For safety reasons therefore these ships usually fly in convoys and are protected by escorts. Most hospital ships like the [[Medical_Anaconda_(Oolite)|Medical Anaconda]] and the [[Lambda_Freighter|Lambda Hospital T5-F01]] are using them for assistance when they are on a mission.

These textures were designed for V 1.88, the latest Oolite [http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=1&p=271321#p271321 V 1.90] is using a much brighter light model and therefore rendering the appearance of the ships.

}}

== Overview ==
As its name suggests, the ''Moray Starboat'' is derived from a sea faring vessel. Developed initially as a submarine flyingboat, [[Marine Trench Co.]] soon saw the possibilities for extending their operations into space and the Moray SFB became the "Star Boat" after its ingenious adaptations were completed. Aquatic space-faring races are the main users of this multi-purpose vessel, whose hull is able to withstand the pressures of depths of up to 5500 fathoms It is a midsized, one man starship, with a size similar to that of a Cobra Mk I

== Notable Features ==

The ''Moray Starboat'' looks like an upside down pyramid, with one side having a longer slope than the other. Despite its innocent appearance however, it can pack a punch, if it has been turned into an [[Iron Ass]]

== Disadvantages ==

The ''Moray Starboat'' is an ageing design, only still popular due to its simplicity. For a ship of its class, the Moray's engines are relatively underpowered, making fleeing from combat very difficult and traversing solar systems slow

== Verdict ==

A nice vessel to try out for awhile and of a size able to defend itself. Pilots will begin to get bored with its limitations and size and move up to the infamous [[Cobra Mk 3]]

"it can pack a punch, if it has been turned into an Iron Arse " Sadly for devotees of ''proper'' English, it ''is'' an Iron Ass... cf [http://www.iancgbell.clara.net/elite/dkwheel.htm The Dark Wheel]... --[[User:RavenRed|RavenRed]]

== 'Ass' is correct ==

I don't think Iron Ass in this context is talking about an iron rear end. From the context, or at least I infer, 'ass' means donkey-like animal; it seems that there is an undercurrent in The Dark Wheel that a slang term for your ship is 'an ass', and therefore 'an iron ass' is a well defended or strong ship. 'Ass' because most ships are capable of the unglamorous pack-animal job of trade. --Winston

yeah i was tossing that one up, thought i had a 50/50 chance of being right

== The blurb ==

The blurb is the Elite-classic blurb, FFE does not have aquatic spacefaring races...only Man and the Thargoids. :Neither of which are aquatic, unless you count the Unlaveans, human colonials who have adapted themselves to their watery planet. [[User:Arexack]]

== The Mosser Connection ==

FFE canon might not have aquatic space-faring life forms, but there is always the Norman Mosser connection - the HPA saaaarggghghhha all started with Mosser meeting up with some aquatics.
