Psuamier: Update

==Description==

Place the Trading Assistant OXP into your "AddOns" folder. Head to a planet of technical level 9, or above, where you can purchase the Trading Assistant from the ship outfitters for 2012 credits. Trading Assistant will not be offered in the ship outfitters in communist systems.

Once purchased, the Trading Assistant will monitor your cargo trades in real time, and give an immediate warning if you are paying unusually high prices, or selling for low prices that are likely to result in unprofitable trading. It will also record the prices you pay for cargo, and later remind you when you sell. Being an artificial intelligence, and not heavy equipment, Trading Assistant is portable between ships, and will stay with you if you buy a new ship in the shipyard.

==Background==
The dark story begins five years earlier, when [[Cowell_%26_MgRath|Cowell & McRath]] invited tenders for the MkV Cobra. Following the success of the MkIV, Isis Interstellar were widely regarded as being favourites in the competition, despite strong competition from other designers, including the Winter Haven Corporation. Winter Haven Corp had been a long-time bitter rival of Isis Interstellar, but the true level of animosity between the two companies was about to be revealed...

... Rowell & McGrath hastily aborted the MkV and opened bidding on the MkVI contract. Still recovering from the massive loss of the Latius facility, Winter Haven Corp did not submit a tender, and in fact only two other ship builders did - perhaps others were somewhat leery of creating any type of competition for Isis Interstellar, given past events. In any event, Isis Interstellar won, and the ship itself at least lived up to expectations and squashed any ideas that Isis Interstellar had won by default simply to placate them.

==Overview==

''Cobra MkVI ~ King Cobra''

The King Cobra has been one of the most successful of Isis Interstellar's civilian ships. Released to critical acclaim, and recipient of the prestigious Which? Space Ship of the Year Award, the vessel's orders outstripped production for almost an entire year, resulting in Isis Interstellar buying up the famous production facility of Toomaney-Ephen Ships to keep up w/ demand : fully refitted w/ customised construction robots created by Griff Industries the facility was finally able to make supply meet demand, and the King Cobra became the best selling ship for two years in a row. Additional attention was directed to the ship when it featured heavily in the TV show Space Lane Truckers, following the fortunes of VanSickle Transport, whose fleet comprised mainly of the Cobra Mk VI.

==Description==

The King Cobra is a mix of past and present. Sharing a very similar silhouette to the much-loved MkIII, the MkVI is slightly slimmer, but wider and longer, providing a more stable and spacious trading platform. Taking the innovations from past creations, the MkVI shares both the powerful but slim line engines of the MkIV, and the separated fuel/cargo scooping system of the Phantom : a standard cargo scoop in the nose directs canisters and escape capsules into the cargo hold and two large collection/filtration units on the wings are used to scoop fuel and pump it directly into the tanks in the wingtips.

== Equipment ==
Initially, the ship was designed to use a new type of pylon weapon, the ASM-12B Jida missile, a high-speed, ECM-ruggedised weapon that Isis Interstellar were developing. Delays in the destruction tests however resulted in a reworking of the pylons so that the MkVI could use standard ordnance. The Jida came online a few months later, slightly redesigned to be able to be carried on any normal pylon.

Further enhancements included a dedicated CorCom terminal for trading whilst docked, and an in-flight information console.

Isis Interstellar produced their own bespoke escape capsule for the MkVI. The entire cockpit area is actually an inbuilt capsule : if disaster strikes, the area is sealed, explosive bolts blow out the retaining shell plates and ejector charges fling the capsule clear of the main hull. Faster and stronger than a normal capsule, pilots ~ and passengers ~ can be assured of a better chance of survival should the unthinkable happen.

== Interior ==
[[File:King_cobra_hud.png‎|thumb|left]]
Inside, as ever Isis Interstellar raised the bar for efficiency and luxury. The cockpit is designed to be comfortable and spacious, and as safe as possible. New HUD software was supplied by a then-little-known, highly-innovative company, CommonSense 'Outside-the-Box' Design Studios Ltd., who had previously been making a name for themselves on the independent circuit. The partnership w/ Isis Interstellar was only the first of many big projects that CommonSense became linked w/, allowing them to develop into a powerful and well-respected contributor to the space trading community.

==Background==
[[File:Gas_giant_skimming_header.jpg‎|thumb|left]]
Gravity compensators bucking like a Taargian Mule, enough atmospheric friction your hull could fry a Hoggian egg, and all for a chance to sift some quirium from a hydrogen stream. 'Ass draggin' a gas giant ain't for the weak-bladdered. And mining one?!? Leave that to the corporate 'wire-flies' if you know what's good for you. I worked on an 'Ass-Dragger' for a while. Why do you think I stay station-side now?!?" - Icosahedron Station Dock Worker in orbit of a gas giant

==Overview==
''The Road to Riches or the Elevator to Hell''

Skimming gas giants to refuel a ship or mining one for rare minerals is not an easy task. But it is one that some pilots utilize to reduce their fuel costs, and a lucky (or foolhardy) few fill their holds with compressed exotic gases and other rarities. Any ship with a fuel scoop can attempt to refuel from a gas giant planet. Just get low enough in orbit and be going fast enough, and you can skim the atmosphere for Quirium ions. Or if you want to try mining, equip yourself with the necessary gas compressors and refining equipment and do the same. Keep in mind, mining requires a lower orbit than refueling. Heh... If it was easy, everyone would do it...

== Description ==
{{OXPLevel|0|3}}
Once the OXP is installed you can immediately start gas skimming. No extra equipment is required to the fuel scoop. The extra skimming possibility is provided by Deephorizon Industries to all Fuel Scoop Manufacturers for low licensing costs (the scoop is a mass product after all).

==Tiger Trader MK II==
{{OXPLevel|0|2}}
Thank you for your interest in the background story about the Tiger Ship line by Joist Industries. Below you can also find more details about the predecessor Tiger ship developed by Cyber System.

As Cyber System scraped the design only few information about the old Tiger ship could be found. Due to risen demand from traders for a versatile but not as big ship as a python to be able to easier defend it. Due to their large connections they were able to get one of the Tiger ships. To be able to cover the research costs they decided to enter the design contest the new trader ship.

To reduce the cost while still maintaining a good ship and to make it more wide spread available Joist System won the price for their redesigned modern variant of the old Tiger. Maybe this was a bit unfair due to the fact that they were well-known for their excellent product quality. Due to the short time-frame though they had to come up with several compromises.

Especially the drive of the old tiger was not technically reproduceable by Joist in the short amount of time for their prototype. With the available informations they were able to still create a stunnable drive matching the speed of a faster trading-optimized Cobra. Due to the mass of the ship (about 1/3 more compared to the old model) it's flying capabilities are reduced.

As with the drive the energy banks are very close to one of the common modern types found in other ships. This also is one of the reason of the mass increase (leading to a bit bigger ship design but also to upgradable improvements). For a possible cargo bay extension many parts of the old combat system have been carefully redesigned in this ship, mainly less missle pylons.

Due to the usage of many modern components in the ship only high tech worlds are able to provide the needed ship service. Thus the shipyards of these worlds got the design for mass production.

Some years later Joist presented an upgraded variant of the Tiger with many improved combat possibilities, a slimmer design but reduced cargo capacity. Unfortunately some rich pirates especially got some of these models in their hands now forming a fearsome threat to even experienced fighters. Due to the modular design not only for standard equipment but for many parts of the ship the Galactic Navy likes to use these ships for themselves. A contract lead to several design parts specifications being disclosed from the public. These parts are delivered by the Navy to the shipyards as black boxes so the ship can still be bought by Joist customers (probably with reduced power compared to the navy ships).

One of the reasons the price was won is the new Tiger HUD provided by Joist... (to be continued)

Deep Horizons Gas Giant Skimming OXP

2013-01-17T21:40:38Z

Psuamier: FixBug

==Background==
[[File:Gas_giant_skimming_header.jpg‎|thumb|left]]
Gravity compensators bucking like a Taargian Mule, enough atmospheric friction your hull could fry a Hoggian egg, and all for a chance to sift some quirium from a hydrogen stream. 'Ass draggin' a gas giant ain't for the weak-bladdered. And mining one?!? Leave that to the corporate 'wire-flies' if you know what's good for you. I worked on an 'Ass-Dragger' for a while. Why do you think I stay station-side now?!?" - Icosahedron Station Dock Worker in orbit of a gas giant

==Overview==
''The Road to Riches or the Elevator to Hell''

Skimming gas giants to refuel a ship or mining one for rare minerals is not an easy task. But it is one that some pilots utilize to reduce their fuel costs, and a lucky (or foolhardy) few fill their holds with compressed exotic gases and other rarities. Any ship with a fuel scoop can attempt to refuel from a gas giant planet. Just get low enough in orbit and be going fast enough, and you can skim the atmosphere for Quirium ions. Or if you want to try mining, equip yourself with the necessary gas compressors and refining equipment and do the same. Keep in mind, mining requires a lower orbit than refueling. Heh... If it was easy, everyone would do it...

== Description ==
Once the OXP is installed you can immediately start gas skimming. No extra equipment is required to the fuel scoop. The extra skimming possibility is provided by Deephorizon Industries to all Fuel Scoop Manufacturers for low licensing costs (the scoop is a mass product after all).

== Requirements ==
Unknown, but should still work with older releases (2011).

I think this ship is very unbalanced - at least concerning the price. It should either not be available to player or be sold with reduced specs at a much higher price. [[User:Psuamier|psuamier]]

__NOTOC__
psuamier is another Nickname I recently use with some boards and kickstarter as my other preferable got abused in some cases. I played Elite first on a Amstrad CPC machine with my friend (this version as I have read is meanwhile freely available). On other platforms like C64 and Amiga I played it too, though a bit less intense.

AFAIR I played FE on the Amiga though I was disappointed by several problems and bugs.

As the next FE2/FFE was not available for my platforms I did it play only much later when several derivates already were available. I think I played it with the dosbox clone (now a must for many recent OSes). I liked the game a lot though I found it much easier to play.

Last year I was lucky enough to hear about E:D via a Kickstarter campaign. As I was not really convinced by other space sims (due to the missing Elite/Frontier feeling) I was happy that I could still make my pledge before the race was over.

I have discovered Oolite already some years ago but did only recently detect the potential (mainly thanks to the fact in improvements in the graphical department) and also because I wanted to train a bit again until the beta version of E:D is released. The available plugins really overwhelmed me and so I'm now checking them out, creating missing Wiki pages for some OXP and having fun with Oolite all the way.

__NOTOC__
Joist Industries is the largest business conglomerate in the [[GalCop|Galactic Co-operation of Worlds (GalCop)]] and an integral part of modern civilization. They are the leading company for [[Galactic_Navy|Naval research]].

Joist is well known mainly due to producing autonomously working robots and military combat droids. They also produce communication equipment and several military equipment, partially classified and computer equipment.

They have built small air vessels for one or two person being used on planet as well as in close-to-planet military operation for special forces. They also are leading in the hyperspace research and had a substantial influence in the build of the known hyperdrives (though the research on the topic nowadays is very low as other research topics have priority).

Since several decades the company has bought or created a lot of subsidiaries for each of their development fields so the main company name is not more often heard in the public news. Large new research results or attainments are the main news to become generally known.

Joist was not involved in ship research and development since the beginning days of space travel until the detection of a [[Tiger_Mark_I|Tiger MK1 ship]] by the GalCop Navy.
