Smivs: routine text editing

==Overview==

[[image:Cobra3-oolite.png|200|right]]

'''N.B. This Expansion restores the original (pre v1.80) Oolite ships and textures. It should not be confused with [[The Classic Ships|The Classic Ships]] Expansion which features up-to-date high-resolution graphics based on these originals.

retroRefit OXZ simply removes the new graphics added in Oolite v1.80 and restores the original ships and stations used prior to the release of v1.80. Also restored are the faster station rotations. All the new features of v1.80 are used however, including the new role set.

This Expansion consists of a replacement shipdata.plist which is a hybrid of the v1.77 shipdata and cim's shipset compatibility OXZ. It is based on an old (non template) shipdata.plist this will not be a suitable base for developing other expansions.

==O.C.C. Teretrurus Mk-I 'Purple Haze/Shield Tail'==
The Thruttles are a family of silly walruses who run a small shop in Galaxy 3 known as the Orzaedve Cobra Choppers. The Teretrurus MK-I is made from a vintage Cobra MK-III hull - or more like a quarter of a hull fitted with some just-divorced-at-age-45 sized engines. It comes in two variants, the Purple Haze (shown below) and the Shield Tail (right). There is little difference between the two ships, other than the colour scheme and the interior (the Shield Tail comes equipped with a shower compartment that uses actual water).

==Custom Paintjobs==

==Teretrurus v3.0 OXZ (by Smivs)==

An update of Dr Nil's Teretrurus Mk.1 OXP.

Released 29th January, 2016

The Teretrurus is a 'chopped' Cobra Mk III and is available in two styles, The 'Purple Haze' and the 'Shield Tail'. They are identical except for their brash and shiny paintjobs. Both are player-buyable and they also feature in-game occassionally in several roles.

This version brings improved graphics with detailed high-definition textures and emission, normal and specular mapping, so shaders should be 'on' to enjoy them at their best, but they do also look very good in non-shader mode.

The original models have been retained and the ships are unchanged from the original spec's in the Wiki.
The code has been updated from XML to openStep, and has been completely revised for v3.0.
shipdata has been re-written for v3.0 to ensure compliance with Oolite v1.80, and a few detail changes have been made to ensure the OXP is balanced, and is consistant with the Wiki page.
Shipdata 'Accuracy' has been set to 6 so the pilots will be better than average, but not too lethal.

== Overview ==

This Oolite Expansion Pack (OXP), developed by Smivs, adds 'YellOo Cab' Taxis to the Ooniverse. These will often be seen ferrying passengers around and between systems, and the YellOo Cab is also player-buyable.

==History==
[[image:Yc4.2.png|left|500px]]
The Retila Shipyard Co-operative (RSC) is a shady organisation consisting of various Mafia, Triad and Pirate groups, who were brought together by the legendary super-criminal Kran Hoftus to build and market the notorious [[Contractor_ZZ1|'Contractor']] uber-ship. Although the ship is not illegal, GalCop is well aware of the Shipyard's dubious ownership and is known to monitor the situation closely. As time passed RSC realised that they would benefit from having a 'legitimate' business arm to maintain an air of respectability and of course for money-laundering and other nefarious purposes.

However, no one in their wildest dreams would have expected them to start manufacturing Taxis, but that is exactly what happened. The RollyJoger TaxiWorks was established to manufacture the Contract-a-Cab after the RSC (somehow!) won the contract to build a fleet of luxury Limo-Taxis for the prestigious YellOo Cab Company. Also surprising was their decision to use an adapted version of the Contractor spaceframe as the basis for their Taxis, but this actually made a lot of sense, as the ship was the right size and shape, all the development work had already been done, and it turned out to be both very adaptable, and ideal for cost-effective mass-production.

==Notable Features==
Of necessity the specifications are very different. Gone is the expensive organic hull plating in favour of Duralium. The three Muon-Schism drives have been replaced by a single Quark-Oscillation engine giving a top speed of 3.6 LM. The Contract-a-Cab has three Energy Banks with a 'medium' re-charge rate of 3. Two missile slots are fitted.

The Ship comes as standard with the basic equipment needed to perform its role, with standard Escape Capsule, Fuel Injection, Fuel Scoops, Heat Shielding, forward Beam Laser (and a rear mount), and of course a special luxury Passenger Berth which also incorporates a passenger Escape Capsule. All other equipment options are available. The Contract-a-Cab has NO hold or cargo extension available. The Passenger Berth is an integrated aspect of the design and cannot be removed to release cargo space. The Cab has two escape capsules, so in the event of an emergency both pilot and passenger are safeguarded.

For anyone looking to operate a YellOo Cab Co franchise, the Contract-a-Cab will excel at providing a safe, comfortable, reasonably fast and reliable means of plying your trade.
Base price is 275 450Cr (including 100 000Cr GalCop Taxi Licence fee)

ExtraFuelTanks

2018-03-26T19:22:06Z

Smivs:

==Background==
For centuries, all ships have been limited to 7LY of fuel. This is mainly because the maximum possible jump is 7LY, a limit imposed by simple physics. However as fuel injectors became more popular it soon became clear that extra fuel was a desirable feature.

So the Beinbaagh Fabrication and Ductwork Co of Lequteor in Galaxy Four decided to develop a range of extra fuel tanks that could be fitted to all ships. They designed a modular system that involves several small tanks which are custom-built into those little corners and recesses that nothing useful would normally fit in. This way they are able to fit the tanks internally without taking up any useable space, and they are then plumbed together and linked to the main tank.
Although very space-efficient, this method does require a lot of work so these tanks are both expensive and time-consuming to fit, but once installed they can be refilled and used repeatedly.

BFD decided to offer two standard installations, an emergency reserve tank which holds 1LY of fuel, and auxiliary tanks holding 3LY of fuel. These can be installed in any make and model of ship.

==ExtraFuelTanks OXP==

This OXP adds buyable extra fuel tanks. These are primable equipment - 'Shift-n' to prime, and 'n' to activate.

There are two types of tank available. The Reserve Tank holds 1LY of Liquified Quirium Gas. The Auxiliary Tank holds 3LY of Liquified Quirium Gas.

You may only fit one type of tank, so decide which will be the best for you. The 'Reserve' is an emergency top-up, while the 'Auxiliary' is much more of a game-changer allowing you to be much more flexible in terms of refuelling by docking or sunskimming.

You can buy a Full Tank (Cr 10 000 for the 'Reserve' and Cr 50 000 for the Auxiliary) from any TL10+ station. This will appear on the F5 screen as 'Reserve Fuel Tank - Full' or 'Auxiliary Fuel Tank - Full'.

The fuel can be moved into the main tank when the main tank is empty. The F5 screen will then show the Reserve or Auxiliary tank to be 'Empty'.

After use you can refill the tank. 'Refill Reserve Tank' for Cr 10 or 'Refill Auxiliary Tank' for Cr 30. The tanks can be refilled at any Main Station.

If you have a Reserve Tank, you can upgrade to an Auxiliary Tank. The Reserve Tank must be empty, and the cost of the conversion is Cr 40 000. The new Auxiliary Tank will be full and ready for use.

Smivs: new version of extraFuelTanks, and edit to Better Screens entry

(Moonscape and Astronaut images:- NASA)

[[Image:CmdSmivs.jpg|center]]

'''Commander Smivs'''

A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away a young Cucurbitan known simply as Smivs cut his teeth in a Cobra spacecraft trading goods and collecting bounties to earn an honest crust. He enjoyed this life for just a few brief years before mysteriously disappearing, it seemed forever.
 
No one knew what had happened or where he had gone, but rumours were that his ship's C64 flight computer had failed on a mission leaving him stranded at the back end of nowhere.
 
And then, some twenty five years later he miraculously returned, older and wiser but penniless. Starting with a lowly Cobra Mk I he set about cleaning up the Ooniverse and doing a nice bit of trade on the side. He slowly built up some funds which allowed him eventually to upgrade to a Python, and then after a while to a Boa Class Cruiser, until today when you will find him flying the Iron-Ass Boa II Clipper ''Bilbo Maru''.
 
People sometimes ask Commander Smivs where he had been, what he had seen and done in the intervening years, but they never get an answer. The mystery, the enigma will most likely never be explained. All we know is that the young seed has grown into a Gourd of distinction, and he now strides the Ooniverse like a Colossus, banishing evil, acting as a force for good, and generally making loads of money and having a damn good time.


[[Image:BilboMaru.png|right]]

'''Bilbo Maru'''
The ''Bilbo Maru'' is a Boa II Clipper Class, bought new from the Gerege Federation Space Works by Commander Smivs to replace the ''Nemesis'' a veteran Boa Class Cruiser which after many years of sterling service was starting to get a bit tired.


She is very well equipped, and is a true 'Iron Ass'. As well as the standard Fuel Scoops, Heat Shielding and supplementary external Fuel Tanks the following equipment has been fitted.
 
Factory Fitted:-
 
Escape Capsule, 4 x Military Lasers, ECM, Naval Energy Unit, Docking Computers, Fuel Injectors, Advanced Space Compass, Scanner Targeting Enhancemant, Multi-targeting System, Target System Memory Expansion, Advanced Navigational Array, Shield Boosters, Military Shield Enhancement.


Carried over from previous ship:-
 
Cloaking Device.


Retro-fitted:-
 
Wormhole Scanner, Rock Hermit Locator, Beer Cooler, 5 x ECM Hardened Missiles, Galactic Hyperdrive.


Unlike many of the Cucurbita people, Commander Smivs has a fondness for animals, and he has added an image of Bilbo his pet Cat (a type of small furry carnivore from planet Earth) after who the ship was named, to the vessel's sides.


Total cost of purchase and fitting-out was 748 210 Cr.

ExtraFuelTanks

2018-03-26T19:19:18Z

Smivs: /* Version History */

==Background==
For centuries, all ships have been limited to 7LY of fuel. This is mainly because the maximum possible jump is 7LY, a limit imposed by simple physics. However as fuel injectors became more popular it soon became clear that extra fuel was a desirable feature.

So the Beinbaagh Fabrication and Ductwork Co of Lequteor in Galaxy Four decided to develop a range of extra fuel tanks that could be fitted to all ships. They designed a modular system that involves several small tanks which are custom-built into those little corners and recesses that nothing useful would normally fit in. This way they are able to fit the tanks internally without taking up any useable space, and they are then plumbed together and linked to the main tank.
Although very space-efficient, this method does require a lot of work so these tanks are both expensive and time-consuming to fit, but once installed they can be refilled and used repeatedly.

BFD decided to offer two standard installations, an emergency reserve tank which holds 1LY of fuel, and auxiliary tanks holding 3LY of fuel. These can be installed in any make and model of ship.

==ExtraFuelTanks OXP==

This OXP adds buyable extra fuel tanks. These are primable equipment - 'Shift-n' to prime, and 'n' to activate.

There are two types of tank available. The Reserve Tank holds 1LY of Liquified Quirium Gas. The Auxiliary Tank holds 3LY of Liquified Quirium Gas.

You may only fit one type of tank, so decide which will be the best for you. The 'Reserve' is an emergency top-up, while the 'Auxiliary' is much more of a game-changer allowing you to be much more flexible in terms of refuelling by docking or sunskimming.

You can buy a Full Tank (Cr 10 000 for the 'Reserve' and Cr 50 000 for the Auxiliary) from any TL10+ station. This will appear on the F5 screen as 'Reserve Fuel Tank - Full' or 'Auxiliary Fuel Tank - Full'.

The fuel can be moved into the main tank when the main tank is empty. The F5 screen will then show the Reserve or Auxiliary tank to be 'Empty'.

After use you can refill the tank. 'Refill Reserve Tank' for Cr 10 or 'Refill Auxiliary Tank' for Cr 30. The tanks can be refilled at any Main Station.

If you have a Reserve Tank, you can upgrade to an Auxiliary Tank. The Reserve Tank must be empty, and the cost of the conversion is Cr 40 000. The new Auxiliary Tank will be full and ready for use.

Clippers

Smivs: /* Download */

[[Image:newClipperComp-750.png|right]]

==Overview==
Inspired by the great Clipper ships of Old Earth's 19th Century the Boa II Clipper was developed by the Gerege Federation Space Works as a result of extensive market research carried out for them by respected pollsters Moori. The research indicated that there was an un-filled niche in the market for a very fast combat-capable transport, a ship capable of covering great distances comfortably, safely, but most of all, quickly.

To keep development time and costs down it was decided to adapt the proven hull of the Boa Class Cruiser, rather than design a new ship from scratch. As the Boa CC was strong, capacious, and very manoeuvrable, little needed to be done other than increase the engine power. By enlarging the engine room they were able to shoe-horn in a third Stardrive, thus giving the Clipper an immediate 50% power increase over the Class Cruiser, and a top speed of a highly creditable 0.362 LM. The trade-off is a 25 ton reduction in cargo space, but the remaining 150 tons capacity was considered more than adequate.

Following the success of their Clipper upgrade to the Boa 2, the Gerege Federation SpaceWorks felt that a similar upgrade to a smaller freighter would also be worthwhile. Following negotiations with Whatt and Pritney, they obtained a licence to adapt Python hulls to 'Clipper' specification.

Both Python and Boa Clippers have sacrificed some cargo space to allow fitment of extra drive units allowing higher top speeds. GFS favour the DeClapton and Layla Quark-scintillation StarDrive as these units are powerful yet compact and are extremely reliable.

In keeping with their role as long distance express transports, both Clipper models are equipped as standard with Fuel Scoops and Heat Shielding to allow 'sunskimming', and with the introduction of the Python variant external secondary fuel tanks were introduced across the range. These hold 3LY of fuel and this can be moved into the main tanks when they are empty.

These ships have custom HUDs, with a clear logical layout optimised for combat situations.

If an NPC is severely damaged in battle and the pilot ejects the ship will progressively become derelict. The ship loses power and the navigation strobes will stop, the lights fade, followed by the engine glow, and finally the derelict is left gently tumbling in space.

{{:Python Clipper Class}}{{:Boa II Clipper Class}}

==Compatibility==
This OXP is compatible with [[ExtraFuelTanks]] OXP. Both OXPs can be installed together. If you fly a Boa or Python Clipper with External Fuel Tanks you will not see ExtraFuelTanks offered, but if you have several Commanders flying various ships and use ExtraFuelTanks these will continue to work normally.

== Overview ==

This Oolite Expansion Pack (OXP), developed by Smivs, adds 'YellOo Cab' Taxis to the Ooniverse. These will often be seen ferrying passengers around and between systems, and the YellOo Cab is also player-buyable.

==History==
[[image:Yc4.2.png|left|500px]]
The Retila Shipyard Co-operative (RSC) is a shady organisation consisting of various Mafia, Triad and Pirate groups, who were brought together by the legendary super-criminal Kran Hoftus to build and market the notorious [[Contractor_ZZ1|'Contractor']] uber-ship. Although the ship is not illegal, GalCop is well aware of the Shipyard's dubious ownership and is known to monitor the situation closely. As time passed RSC realised that they would benefit from having a 'legitimate' business arm to maintain an air of respectability and of course for money-laundering and other nefarious purposes.

However, no one in their wildest dreams would have expected them to start manufacturing Taxis, but that is exactly what happened. The RollyJoger TaxiWorks was established to manufacture the Contract-a-Cab after the RSC (somehow!) won the contract to build a fleet of luxury Limo-Taxis for the prestigious YellOo Cab Company. Also surprising was their decision to use an adapted version of the Contractor spaceframe as the basis for their Taxis, but this actually made a lot of sense, as the ship was the right size and shape, all the development work had already been done, and it turned out to be both very adaptable, and ideal for cost-effective mass-production.

==Notable Features==
Of necessity the specifications are very different. Gone is the expensive organic hull plating in favour of Duralium. The three Muon-Schism drives have been replaced by a single Quark-Oscillation engine giving a top speed of 3.6 LM. The Contract-a-Cab has three Energy Banks with a 'medium' re-charge rate of 3. Two missile slots are fitted.

The Ship comes as standard with the basic equipment needed to perform its role, with standard Escape Capsule, Fuel Injection, Fuel Scoops, Heat Shielding, forward Beam Laser (and a rear mount), and of course a special luxury Passenger Berth which also incorporates a passenger Escape Capsule. All other equipment options are available. The Contract-a-Cab has NO hold or cargo extension available. The Passenger Berth is an integrated aspect of the design and cannot be removed to release cargo space. The Cab has two escape capsules, so in the event of an emergency both pilot and passenger are safeguarded.

For anyone looking to operate a YellOo Cab Co franchise, the Contract-a-Cab will excel at providing a safe, comfortable, reasonably fast and reliable means of plying your trade.
Base price is 275 450Cr (including 100 000Cr GalCop Taxi Licence fee)

The Ship comes as standard with the basic equipment needed to perform its role, with standard Escape Capsule, Fuel Injection, Fuel Scoops, Heat Shielding, forward Beam Laser (and a rear mount), and of course a special luxury Passenger Berth which also incorporates a passenger Escape Capsule. All other equipment options are available. The Contract-a-Cab has NO hold or cargo extension available. The Passenger Berth is an integrated aspect of the design and cannot be removed to release cargo space. The Cab has two escape capsules, so in the event of an emergency both pilot and passenger are safeguarded.

For anyone looking to operate a YellOo Cab Co franchise, the Contract-a-Cab will excel at providing a safe, comfortable, reasonably fast and reliable means of plying your trade.
Base price is 275 450Cr (including 100 000Cr GalCop Taxi Licence fee)

== Overview ==

The Mussurana snake is a snake that eats other snakes. Perhaps the Mussurana Void-Yacht can be called a snake ship that eats other snake ships. Agile, reasonably quick and easy to equip well as a trade ship that can look after itself, this new offering from the [[Zorgon Petterson Group]] goes on to continue the reputation that ZPG gained after it designed the now legendary [[Fer de Lance (Oolite)|Fer de Lance]].

== Notable Features ==
Weighing in at a colossal Cr.875,000 for the standard model, this is a ship made for the rich, with an interior to match. The ship has luxurious appointings, without appearing decadent or in bad taste. Zorgon Petterson Group's interior designers have created luxury living quarters with the same clean and understated industrial design that wealthy and discerning commanders have come to expect. This is the ship that Steve Jobs would fly were he to visit Lave and obtain his pilots license.

The comfortable living arrangements does not mean the ship is comfortable for those who make it their target. Most Mussurana commanders spare no expense on defences and weaponry, so you can expect to find any Mussurana you encounter to equipped with [[Military_Lasers|military lasers]] and [[witch fuel injectors]]. Well-heeled bounty hunters with a sense of class are often seen in the Mussurana, having traded up from their Fer de Lance.

== Incidents ==
Only a week after the Mussurana went on sale at Zorgon Petterson Group dealerships, a Mussurana was used to assassinate the charismatic leader of the United Metalworkers Union in Reorte. The ship evaded police [[Viper (Oolite)|Viper]] patrol craft, and slipped into hyperspace. The perpetrator still has not been caught.

Liners

2017-03-22T09:04:09Z

Smivs: v1.6.1 update

==Overview==

Liners adds huge cruise liners to the space-ways. These are enormous vessels, self-contained cities in space, with often tens of thousands of passengers on board. They will occasionally be found en-route to the planet, or in orbit around the planet close to the Main Station where passengers can enjoy the facilities of the GalCop stations and visit the planet below. Many of these ships have their own escort ships, shuttles and supply ships and these will often be seen ferrying passengers, crew and supplies from the station or the liner.

==Aurora==

[[Image:Aurora-liner3.png|300px|right]]

Model: P.A. Groove 
Basic Texture: P.A. Groove 
Lighting and mapping: Griff: 
AI and Escape Capsule Behavior: Thargoid

'''Overview''' 
Rarely does the traveller in the Ooniverse have the chance to spot the mighty Aurora Megacruiser. But once spotted, never forgotten. With a length of 4.3 kilometres and about 800 meters in height it really is a mobile world capable of supporting 500,000 souls in a standard setting. Transportation takes place by high speed people/alien movers. You may be surprised to learn the Aurora does not support a public ship dock. This is because the dock masters of the Aurora want to know exactly who is on board. A trip on an Aurora is the trip of a lifetime: the waiting list for a place on one of the Ooniverse's 100 Aurora Megacruisers is almost 10 years.

It's a safe ship but it still can be nuked or Q-bombed so expect it to be escorted by quite a large fleet. But rest assured, in case of an emergency evacuation, a large lifeboat fleet can comfortably accommodate the richer passengers.
Enjoy this ship while you can as the ship is going out of service because of the challenges of bringing the clients on board by pods (not featured in this OXP).

'''Facilities''' 
On board the passengers are treated with a wealth of facilities. From shopping malls to hospitals, a public central park, botanic gardens and hotels. Passengers travel for more than a year on the ship and for the ultimate in luxury a Round the Ooniverse Cruise takes passengers to all the 8 galaxies.

'''Engines''' 
4 GASEC SR-GDs (Space Rotary Galactic Drive) take the ship to 0.24 LM which is quite fast for such a large ship.

PLEASE NOTE:- Aurora.oxp becomes obsolete when installing this oxp.

==Emerald==

[[Image:emerald-liner2.png|300px|right]]

Model: Thargoid 
Basic Texture: P.A.Groove 
Normal and Lighting maps: Griff 
Scripting: Thargoid

'''Overview''' 
The Emerald is a luxury city in space and has all the facilities that you'd expect to serve the thousands of passengers on board. 
The ship is served by its own fleet of shuttles, liners and runabouts to ferry passengers, crew and supplies around at the planets and stations visited.

==Tigershark==

[[Image:Tigershark2 1024.jpg|300px|right]]

Model: P.A. Groove 
Basic Texture: P.A.Groove 
Normal and Lighting maps: Griff 
Scripting: Thargoid 
Naming list: P.A. Groove

'''Overview''' 
Moogul Shipyards Inc. based on Bearrabe (G6) presents the Tigershark. Without doubt, it is one of the most elegant liners in space. Within its 2.1 kilometres length it features all the luxury you would normally expect to find on a liner. Originally this liner was meant as a multiple role hull, like the Orisis. Although most of the Tigersharks are fitted as cruise ships some liners are fitted as office ships, hospital ships or even diplomatic centres. Due to an efficient partnership with both GASEC and the Aquarian Shipbuilding Corp this ship is encountered all over the eight.

'''Drives''' 
The 2 special Propucel A2 Drives have the unique property that no exhaust plume is generated. This makes the drive more efficient and fast. Some commander in older ships cannot dock with the liner because it is too fast. The drive is capable of .28 LM.

'''Docking''' 
Docking is from the back. After asking permission the ship slows down a bit so you can dock. For visiting commanders it even features an on-board trade port for trade and equipment.

==Saga Class Liners==

[[Image:pandoo_liner.png|300px|right]]

Model: ADCK 
Basic Texture: Smivs 
Lighting maps: Smivs 
Scripting: Thargoid 

'''Overview''' 
The 'Saga' class cruise liners are operated by P&Oo Cruises, who specialise in luxury retirement cruises. These one and a half kilometer long vessels are luxuriously appointed and have all the facilities their demanding clients require.

They tend to operate in 'safer' systems as the elderly passengers are looking for quiet enjoyment of their cruise, and the ships will normally be accompanied by six Sidewinder-X escorts for added safety.

The staterooms are appointed up to five-star standards, and the ships have many quality restaurants, shops, cinemas and all the features a ship of this type would be expected to have.

One of the main features is the 'Concourse', a vast open atrium with several mezzanine decks, where you will find the shops and other public facilities. The 'Concourse' is topped by a vast plexiglass dome which has a viewing gallery aound it's base giving an incredible panoramic view above the ship. Often the liner will orientate itself so that, when in orbit around a planet, the planet can be seen 'hovering' above the ship.

The Classic Ships

2017-03-16T19:54:11Z

Smivs: removed redundant sentence.

== Overview ==

"The Classic Ships" is a shipset OXZ which has been produced to bring the original Elite-style Oolite ships back into the game. With high-quality modern graphics, these charming Retro designs ensure that Nostalgia has never looked so good.

== The Ships and their Background ==

[[Image:classicComp1.png|right|750px]]

In the 31st Century, spacecraft of all types are needed in large numbers as the inhabited planets can only survive and prosper through inter-system trade. But ship losses are high - space is inherantly dangerous, and more perils await the spacefaring community than just natural hazards. Many ships do survive though, and indeed some of the ships encountered could be hundreds of years old.

Due to frequent losses and also to sustain the burgeoning galactic economy, ships, lots of them, have to be built quickly and cheaply, but they also have to be incredibly strong and durable.

With one or two exceptions all the ships of this time are pure spacecraft, built solely to fly between Star Systems, with the GalCop stations that orbit all inhabited Worlds as their departure and arrival points. As a consequence they have no atmospheric or planetary-landing capability as these are simply not needed. They are therefore built in space at huge orbital shipyards which are dotted around the Eight at suitable planets and moons.

Due to the difficulties of working in zero-G, the need was for designs that can be fabricated relatively quickly and easily. It therefore soon became clear that the optimum manufacturing method was to design and build large, un-sophisticated hulls, with huge panels of Duralium Alloy being welded together into simple, easy-to-construct forms. The Duralium panels used can be as large as five by three metres and are nearly 1/2 metre thick, as this offers maximum protection against micro-meteorites and radiation, and also some protection against laser fire.

By building the ships as large as they are, it is also possible to include all the equipment, running gear, engines, fuel tanks, holdspace, living quarters, life support and ordnance within the hull itself. This offers maximum protection to all the ship's systems.

These ships would be just as effective (and even easier to build) if they were just big cubes, but most sentient races possess a sense for aesthetics, meaning that the demand is for something more attractive than a flying brick. So despite the minimalist ethos behind the designs the various models are still stylish and distinctive.

== Special features ==

1) Where appropriate the ships have flashing navigation strobes.
 
2) The Thargoid Warships have the alternating red/green colour scheme described on the Wiki.
 
3) The Moray Starboat and Medical boat (submarine flying boats built by aquatic Races) have a unique 'organic' hull, and special 'HydroStellar' drive units capable of propelling the craft in water, atmosphere or space.
 
4) The ships will become visibly derelict if the pilot ejects in an escape capsule. As the ship shuts down the navigation strobes are switched off, followed a few seconds later by the main interior and hull lights. As the exhaust starts to fade, the ship begins to gently tumble, and finally the engine powers down completely leaving the ship dark and dead, drifting in space.
 
5) Extra Textures. Previously, variants of three types of ship shared common textures, and three new Pirate ships were introduced in Oolite v1.80, so six extra textures have been added, bringing the total to Thirty Seven. Each ship specified in shipdata now has its own unique texture.

== This Expansion Pack ==

The "Classic Ships" are facsimilies of the original Elite ships, first seen as wireframe graphics in 1984.

They were re-modeled and textured by Giles Williams (Aegidian) when he first coded Oolite in 2004. In this form they were the default ships until the release of Oolite v1.80 in June, 2014 by which time they were looking rather tired and dated. Although now superceded as the default shipset, they are still held in high esteem by many, and have a strong nostalgic and Retro appeal. In producing this Expansion, the author's aim was to re-imagine them in a thoroughly modern way while preserving the heritage they represent.

The original models have been used and are unchanged. New models have been produced to add engines to the ships and a Gun model has also been utilised. This approach retains the authenticity of the classic shapes while giving them the more rounded, complete look demanded today.
The texturing has also been completely updated to meet modern standards. The texture designs are heavily influenced by Aegidian's original set, but have been extensively re-worked to meet today's standards of detail and quality.
Using diffuse, emission, normal and specular mapping this shipset requires a shader-capable computer to look at its best although it will work (and still look good) on most non-shader machines. Users of low-end computers might find the high-resolution images too heavy on resources however.

Two versions are available in line with recent shipset convention, a 'Replace' set which replaces the default ships with the Classic Ships, or an 'Addition' set which adds the Classic Ships to the default set to allow a mix.

This OXZ has no affect on gameplay or game mechanics.

==The Classic Ships suite==

The Classic Ships OXZ has five supplementary packs available.

[[Mussurana | The Classic Mussurana]] Aegidians pretty Void Yacht, fully updated for today.

[[ClassicShipyard | The Classic Shipyard]] allows the player to buy a ship with any of the alternative textures featured in the OXZ suite.

[[Classic_Super-Pythons | The Classic SuperPythons]] is a modern graphics update for two of Aegidian's early OXP ships, the Python Class Cruiser and the Python Eunectes Turbo.

[[ClassicVarietyPack | The Classic variety Pack]] adds 20 more textures for the core ships to give more variety.

[[Classic X-ships | The Classic X-ships]] is a modern graphics update for three of Aegidian's early OXP ships. Asp-X, Cobra2-X and Sidewinder-X.

and one complementary OXZ

[[BetterBuoys | Better Buoys]] re-textures the default navigation and Witchpoint buoys.

Smivs: updated version number of classic mussuraa

(Moonscape and Astronaut images:- NASA)

[[Image:CmdSmivs.jpg|center]]

'''Commander Smivs'''

A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away a young Cucurbitan known simply as Smivs cut his teeth in a Cobra spacecraft trading goods and collecting bounties to earn an honest crust. He enjoyed this life for just a few brief years before mysteriously disappearing, it seemed forever.
 
No one knew what had happened or where he had gone, but rumours were that his ship's C64 flight computer had failed on a mission leaving him stranded at the back end of nowhere.
 
And then, some twenty five years later he miraculously returned, older and wiser but penniless. Starting with a lowly Cobra Mk I he set about cleaning up the Ooniverse and doing a nice bit of trade on the side. He slowly built up some funds which allowed him eventually to upgrade to a Python, and then after a while to a Boa Class Cruiser, until today when you will find him flying the Iron-Ass Boa II Clipper ''Bilbo Maru''.
 
People sometimes ask Commander Smivs where he had been, what he had seen and done in the intervening years, but they never get an answer. The mystery, the enigma will most likely never be explained. All we know is that the young seed has grown into a Gourd of distinction, and he now strides the Ooniverse like a Colossus, banishing evil, acting as a force for good, and generally making loads of money and having a damn good time.


[[Image:BilboMaru.png|right]]

'''Bilbo Maru'''
The ''Bilbo Maru'' is a Boa II Clipper Class, bought new from the Gerege Federation Space Works by Commander Smivs to replace the ''Nemesis'' a veteran Boa Class Cruiser which after many years of sterling service was starting to get a bit tired.


She is very well equipped, and is a true 'Iron Ass'. As well as the standard Fuel Scoops, Heat Shielding and supplementary external Fuel Tanks the following equipment has been fitted.
 
Factory Fitted:-
 
Escape Capsule, 4 x Military Lasers, ECM, Naval Energy Unit, Docking Computers, Fuel Injectors, Advanced Space Compass, Scanner Targeting Enhancemant, Multi-targeting System, Target System Memory Expansion, Advanced Navigational Array, Shield Boosters, Military Shield Enhancement.


Carried over from previous ship:-
 
Cloaking Device.


Retro-fitted:-
 
Wormhole Scanner, Rock Hermit Locator, Beer Cooler, 5 x ECM Hardened Missiles, Galactic Hyperdrive.


Unlike many of the Cucurbita people, Commander Smivs has a fondness for animals, and he has added an image of Bilbo his pet Cat (a type of small furry carnivore from planet Earth) after who the ship was named, to the vessel's sides.


Total cost of purchase and fitting-out was 748 210 Cr.

Mussurana

}}

== Overview ==

The Mussurana snake is a snake that eats other snakes. Perhaps the Mussurana Void-Yacht can be called a snake ship that eats other snake ships. Agile, reasonably quick and easy to equip well as a trade ship that can look after itself, this new offering from the [[Zorgon Petterson Group]] goes on to continue the reputation that ZPG gained after it designed the now legendary [[Fer de Lance (Oolite)|Fer de Lance]].

== Notable Features ==
Weighing in at a colossal Cr.875,000 for the standard model, this is a ship made for the rich, with an interior to match. The ship has luxurious appointings, without appearing decadent or in bad taste. Zorgon Petterson Group's interior designers have created luxury living quarters with the same clean and understated industrial design that wealthy and discerning commanders have come to expect. This is the ship that Steve Jobs would fly were he to visit Lave and obtain his pilots license.

The comfortable living arrangements does not mean the ship is comfortable for those who make it their target. Most Mussurana commanders spare no expense on defences and weaponry, so you can expect to find any Mussurana you encounter to equipped with [[Military_Lasers|military lasers]] and [[witch fuel injectors]]. Well-heeled bounty hunters with a sense of class are often seen in the Mussurana, having traded up from their Fer de Lance.

== Incidents ==
Only a week after the Mussurana went on sale at Zorgon Petterson Group dealerships, a Mussurana was used to assassinate the charismatic leader of the United Metalworkers Union in Reorte. The ship evaded police [[Viper (Oolite)|Viper]] patrol craft, and slipped into hyperspace. The perpetrator still has not been caught.

Liners

2017-03-14T20:02:39Z

Smivs: changed image of Saga liner

==Overview==

Liners adds huge cruise liners to the space-ways. These are enormous vessels, self-contained cities in space, with often tens of thousands of passengers on board. They will occasionally be found en-route to the planet, or in orbit around the planet close to the Main Station where passengers can enjoy the facilities of the GalCop stations and visit the planet below. Many of these ships have their own escort ships, shuttles and supply ships and these will often be seen ferrying passengers, crew and supplies from the station or the liner.

==Aurora==

[[Image:Aurora-liner3.png|300px|right]]

Model: P.A. Groove 
Basic Texture: P.A. Groove 
Lighting and mapping: Griff: 
AI and Escape Capsule Behavior: Thargoid

'''Overview''' 
Rarely does the traveller in the Ooniverse have the chance to spot the mighty Aurora Megacruiser. But once spotted, never forgotten. With a length of 4.3 kilometres and about 800 meters in height it really is a mobile world capable of supporting 500,000 souls in a standard setting. Transportation takes place by high speed people/alien movers. You may be surprised to learn the Aurora does not support a public ship dock. This is because the dock masters of the Aurora want to know exactly who is on board. A trip on an Aurora is the trip of a lifetime: the waiting list for a place on one of the Ooniverse's 100 Aurora Megacruisers is almost 10 years.

It's a safe ship but it still can be nuked or Q-bombed so expect it to be escorted by quite a large fleet. But rest assured, in case of an emergency evacuation, a large lifeboat fleet can comfortably accommodate the richer passengers.
Enjoy this ship while you can as the ship is going out of service because of the challenges of bringing the clients on board by pods (not featured in this OXP).

'''Facilities''' 
On board the passengers are treated with a wealth of facilities. From shopping malls to hospitals, a public central park, botanic gardens and hotels. Passengers travel for more than a year on the ship and for the ultimate in luxury a Round the Ooniverse Cruise takes passengers to all the 8 galaxies.

'''Engines''' 
4 GASEC SR-GDs (Space Rotary Galactic Drive) take the ship to 0.24 LM which is quite fast for such a large ship.

PLEASE NOTE:- Aurora.oxp becomes obsolete when installing this oxp.

==Emerald==

[[Image:emerald-liner2.png|300px|right]]

Model: Thargoid 
Basic Texture: P.A.Groove 
Normal and Lighting maps: Griff 
Scripting: Thargoid

'''Overview''' 
The Emerald is a luxury city in space and has all the facilities that you'd expect to serve the thousands of passengers on board. 
The ship is served by its own fleet of shuttles, liners and runabouts to ferry passengers, crew and supplies around at the planets and stations visited.

==Tigershark==

[[Image:Tigershark2 1024.jpg|300px|right]]

Model: P.A. Groove 
Basic Texture: P.A.Groove 
Normal and Lighting maps: Griff 
Scripting: Thargoid 
Naming list: P.A. Groove

'''Overview''' 
Moogul Shipyards Inc. based on Bearrabe (G6) presents the Tigershark. Without doubt, it is one of the most elegant liners in space. Within its 2.1 kilometres length it features all the luxury you would normally expect to find on a liner. Originally this liner was meant as a multiple role hull, like the Orisis. Although most of the Tigersharks are fitted as cruise ships some liners are fitted as office ships, hospital ships or even diplomatic centres. Due to an efficient partnership with both GASEC and the Aquarian Shipbuilding Corp this ship is encountered all over the eight.

'''Drives''' 
The 2 special Propucel A2 Drives have the unique property that no exhaust plume is generated. This makes the drive more efficient and fast. Some commander in older ships cannot dock with the liner because it is too fast. The drive is capable of .28 LM.

'''Docking''' 
Docking is from the back. After asking permission the ship slows down a bit so you can dock. For visiting commanders it even features an on-board trade port for trade and equipment.

==Saga Class Liners==

[[Image:pandoo_liner.png|300px|right]]

Model: ADCK 
Basic Texture: Smivs 
Lighting maps: Smivs 
Scripting: Thargoid 

'''Overview''' 
The 'Saga' class cruise liners are operated by P&Oo Cruises, who specialise in luxury retirement cruises. These one and a half kilometer long vessels are luxuriously appointed and have all the facilities their demanding clients require.

They tend to operate in 'safer' systems as the elderly passengers are looking for quiet enjoyment of their cruise, and the ships will normally be accompanied by six Sidewinder-X escorts for added safety.

The staterooms are appointed up to five-star standards, and the ships have many quality restaurants, shops, cinemas and all the features a ship of this type would be expected to have.

One of the main features is the 'Concourse', a vast open atrium with several mezzanine decks, where you will find the shops and other public facilities. The 'Concourse' is topped by a vast plexiglass dome which has a viewing gallery aound it's base giving an incredible panoramic view above the ship. Often the liner will orientate itself so that, when in orbit around a planet, the planet can be seen 'hovering' above the ship.

Smivs: small changes for v1.6

==Overview==

Liners adds huge cruise liners to the space-ways. These are enormous vessels, self-contained cities in space, with often tens of thousands of passengers on board. They will occasionally be found en-route to the planet, or in orbit around the planet close to the Main Station where passengers can enjoy the facilities of the GalCop stations and visit the planet below. Many of these ships have their own escort ships, shuttles and supply ships and these will often be seen ferrying passengers, crew and supplies from the station or the liner.

==Aurora==

[[Image:Aurora-liner3.png|300px|right]]

Model: P.A. Groove 
Basic Texture: P.A. Groove 
Lighting and mapping: Griff: 
AI and Escape Capsule Behavior: Thargoid

'''Overview''' 
Rarely does the traveller in the Ooniverse have the chance to spot the mighty Aurora Megacruiser. But once spotted, never forgotten. With a length of 4.3 kilometres and about 800 meters in height it really is a mobile world capable of supporting 500,000 souls in a standard setting. Transportation takes place by high speed people/alien movers. You may be surprised to learn the Aurora does not support a public ship dock. This is because the dock masters of the Aurora want to know exactly who is on board. A trip on an Aurora is the trip of a lifetime: the waiting list for a place on one of the Ooniverse's 100 Aurora Megacruisers is almost 10 years.

It's a safe ship but it still can be nuked or Q-bombed so expect it to be escorted by quite a large fleet. But rest assured, in case of an emergency evacuation, a large lifeboat fleet can comfortably accommodate the richer passengers.
Enjoy this ship while you can as the ship is going out of service because of the challenges of bringing the clients on board by pods (not featured in this OXP).

'''Facilities''' 
On board the passengers are treated with a wealth of facilities. From shopping malls to hospitals, a public central park, botanic gardens and hotels. Passengers travel for more than a year on the ship and for the ultimate in luxury a Round the Ooniverse Cruise takes passengers to all the 8 galaxies.

'''Engines''' 
4 GASEC SR-GDs (Space Rotary Galactic Drive) take the ship to 0.24 LM which is quite fast for such a large ship.

PLEASE NOTE:- Aurora.oxp becomes obsolete when installing this oxp.

==Emerald==

[[Image:emerald-liner2.png|300px|right]]

Model: Thargoid 
Basic Texture: P.A.Groove 
Normal and Lighting maps: Griff 
Scripting: Thargoid

'''Overview''' 
The Emerald is a luxury city in space and has all the facilities that you'd expect to serve the thousands of passengers on board. 
The ship is served by its own fleet of shuttles, liners and runabouts to ferry passengers, crew and supplies around at the planets and stations visited.

==Tigershark==

[[Image:Tigershark2 1024.jpg|300px|right]]

Model: P.A. Groove 
Basic Texture: P.A.Groove 
Normal and Lighting maps: Griff 
Scripting: Thargoid 
Naming list: P.A. Groove

'''Overview''' 
Moogul Shipyards Inc. based on Bearrabe (G6) presents the Tigershark. Without doubt, it is one of the most elegant liners in space. Within its 2.1 kilometres length it features all the luxury you would normally expect to find on a liner. Originally this liner was meant as a multiple role hull, like the Orisis. Although most of the Tigersharks are fitted as cruise ships some liners are fitted as office ships, hospital ships or even diplomatic centres. Due to an efficient partnership with both GASEC and the Aquarian Shipbuilding Corp this ship is encountered all over the eight.

'''Drives''' 
The 2 special Propucel A2 Drives have the unique property that no exhaust plume is generated. This makes the drive more efficient and fast. Some commander in older ships cannot dock with the liner because it is too fast. The drive is capable of .28 LM.

'''Docking''' 
Docking is from the back. After asking permission the ship slows down a bit so you can dock. For visiting commanders it even features an on-board trade port for trade and equipment.

==Saga Class Liners==

[[Image:pandoo-liner.png|300px|right]]

Model: ADCK 
Basic Texture: Smivs 
Lighting maps: Smivs 
Scripting: Thargoid 

'''Overview''' 
The 'Saga' class cruise liners are operated by P&Oo Cruises, who specialise in luxury retirement cruises. These one and a half kilometer long vessels are luxuriously appointed and have all the facilities their demanding clients require.

They tend to operate in 'safer' systems as the elderly passengers are looking for quiet enjoyment of their cruise, and the ships will normally be accompanied by six Sidewinder-X escorts for added safety.

The staterooms are appointed up to five-star standards, and the ships have many quality restaurants, shops, cinemas and all the features a ship of this type would be expected to have.

One of the main features is the 'Concourse', a vast open atrium with several mezzanine decks, where you will find the shops and other public facilities. The 'Concourse' is topped by a vast plexiglass dome which has a viewing gallery aound it's base giving an incredible panoramic view above the ship. Often the liner will orientate itself so that, when in orbit around a planet, the planet can be seen 'hovering' above the ship.

'''Commander Smivs'''

A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away a young Cucurbitan known simply as Smivs cut his teeth in a Cobra spacecraft trading goods and collecting bounties to earn an honest crust. He enjoyed this life for just a few brief years before mysteriously disappearing, it seemed forever.
 
No one knew what had happened or where he had gone, but rumours were that his ship's C64 flight computer had failed on a mission leaving him stranded at the back end of nowhere.
 
And then, some twenty five years later he miraculously returned, older and wiser but penniless. Starting with a lowly Cobra Mk I he set about cleaning up the Ooniverse and doing a nice bit of trade on the side. He slowly built up some funds which allowed him eventually to upgrade to a Python, and then after a while to a Boa Class Cruiser, until today when you will find him flying the Iron-Ass Boa II Clipper ''Bilbo Maru''.
 
People sometimes ask Commander Smivs where he had been, what he had seen and done in the intervening years, but they never get an answer. The mystery, the enigma will most likely never be explained. All we know is that the young seed has grown into a Gourd of distinction, and he now strides the Ooniverse like a Colossus, banishing evil, acting as a force for good, and generally making loads of money and having a damn good time.


[[Image:BilboMaru.png|right]]

'''Bilbo Maru'''
The ''Bilbo Maru'' is a Boa II Clipper Class, bought new from the Gerege Federation Space Works by Commander Smivs to replace the ''Nemesis'' a veteran Boa Class Cruiser which after many years of sterling service was starting to get a bit tired.


She is very well equipped, and is a true 'Iron Ass'. As well as the standard Fuel Scoops, Heat Shielding and supplementary external Fuel Tanks the following equipment has been fitted.
 
Factory Fitted:-
 
Escape Capsule, 4 x Military Lasers, ECM, Naval Energy Unit, Docking Computers, Fuel Injectors, Advanced Space Compass, Scanner Targeting Enhancemant, Multi-targeting System, Target System Memory Expansion, Advanced Navigational Array, Shield Boosters, Military Shield Enhancement.


Carried over from previous ship:-
 
Cloaking Device.


Retro-fitted:-
 
Wormhole Scanner, Rock Hermit Locator, Beer Cooler, 5 x ECM Hardened Missiles, Galactic Hyperdrive.


Unlike many of the Cucurbita people, Commander Smivs has a fondness for animals, and he has added an image of Bilbo his pet Cat (a type of small furry carnivore from planet Earth) after who the ship was named, to the vessel's sides.


Total cost of purchase and fitting-out was 748 210 Cr.

The Classic Ships

2016-09-09T18:02:05Z

Smivs: updated for v 1.4

== Overview ==

"The Classic Ships" is a shipset OXZ which has been produced to bring the original Elite-style Oolite ships back into the game. With high-quality modern graphics, these charming Retro designs ensure that Nostalgia has never looked so good.

== The Ships and their Background ==

[[Image:classicComp1.png|right|750px]]

In the 31st Century, spacecraft of all types are needed in large numbers as the inhabited planets can only survive and prosper through inter-system trade. But ship losses are high - space is inherantly dangerous, and more perils await the spacefaring community than just natural hazards. Many ships do survive though, and indeed some of the ships encountered could be hundreds of years old.

Due to frequent losses and also to sustain the burgeoning galactic economy, ships, lots of them, have to be built quickly and cheaply, but they also have to be incredibly strong and durable.

With one or two exceptions all the ships of this time are pure spacecraft, built solely to fly between Star Systems, with the GalCop stations that orbit all inhabited Worlds as their departure and arrival points. As a consequence they have no atmospheric or planetary-landing capability as these are simply not needed. They are therefore built in space at huge orbital shipyards which are dotted around the Eight at suitable planets and moons.

Due to the difficulties of working in zero-G, the need was for designs that can be fabricated relatively quickly and easily. It therefore soon became clear that the optimum manufacturing method was to design and build large, un-sophisticated hulls, with huge panels of Duralium Alloy being welded together into simple, easy-to-construct forms. The Duralium panels used can be as large as five by three metres and are nearly 1/2 metre thick, as this offers maximum protection against micro-meteorites and radiation, and also some protection against laser fire.

By building the ships as large as they are, it is also possible to include all the equipment, running gear, engines, fuel tanks, holdspace, living quarters, life support and ordnance within the hull itself. This offers maximum protection to all the ship's systems.

These ships would be just as effective (and even easier to build) if they were just big cubes, but most sentient races possess a sense for aesthetics, meaning that the demand is for something more attractive than a flying brick. So despite the minimalist ethos behind the designs the various models are still stylish and distinctive.

== Special features ==

1) Where appropriate the ships have flashing navigation strobes.
 
2) The Thargoid Warships have the alternating red/green colour scheme described on the Wiki.
 
3) The Moray Starboat and Medical boat (submarine flying boats built by aquatic Races) have a unique 'organic' hull, and special 'HydroStellar' drive units capable of propelling the craft in water, atmosphere or space.
 
4) The ships will become visibly derelict if the pilot ejects in an escape capsule. As the ship shuts down the navigation strobes are switched off, followed a few seconds later by the main interior and hull lights. As the exhaust starts to fade, the ship begins to gently tumble, and finally the engine powers down completely leaving the ship dark and dead, drifting in space.
 
5) Extra Textures. Previously, variants of three types of ship shared common textures, and three new Pirate ships were introduced in Oolite v1.80, so six extra textures have been added, bringing the total to Thirty Seven. Each ship specified in shipdata now has its own unique texture.

== This Expansion Pack ==

The "Classic Ships" are facsimilies of the original Elite ships, first seen as wireframe graphics in 1984.

They were re-modeled and textured by Giles Williams (Aegidian) when he first coded Oolite in 2004. In this form they were the default ships until the release of Oolite v1.80 in June, 2014 by which time they were looking rather tired and dated. Although now superceded as the default shipset, they are still held in high esteem by many, and have a strong nostalgic and Retro appeal. In producing this Expansion, the author's aim was to re-imagine them in a thoroughly modern way while preserving the heritage they represent.

The original models have been used and are unchanged. New models have been produced to add engines to the ships and a Gun model has also been utilised. This approach retains the authenticity of the classic shapes while giving them the more rounded, complete look demanded today.
The texturing has also been completely updated to meet modern standards. The texture designs are heavily influenced by Aegidian's original set, but have been extensively re-worked to meet today's standards of detail and quality.
Using diffuse, emission, normal and specular mapping this shipset requires a shader-capable computer to look at its best although it will work (and still look good) on most non-shader machines. Users of low-end computers might find the high-resolution images too heavy on resources however, but a 'Lite' version of the set with much smaller graphics files is scheduled for release very soon.

Two versions are available in line with recent shipset convention, a 'Replace' set which replaces the default ships with the Classic Ships, or an 'Addition' set which adds the Classic Ships to the default set to allow a mix.

This OXZ has no affect on gameplay or game mechanics.

==The Classic Ships suite==

The Classic Ships OXZ has five supplementary packs available.

[[Mussurana | The Classic Mussurana]] Aegidians pretty Void Yacht, fully updated for today.

[[ClassicShipyard | The Classic Shipyard]] allows the player to buy a ship with any of the alternative textures featured in the OXZ suite.

[[Classic_Super-Pythons | The Classic SuperPythons]] is a modern graphics update for two of Aegidian's early OXP ships, the Python Class Cruiser and the Python Eunectes Turbo.

[[ClassicVarietyPack | The Classic variety Pack]] adds 20 more textures for the core ships to give more variety.

[[Classic X-ships | The Classic X-ships]] is a modern graphics update for three of Aegidian's early OXP ships. Asp-X, Cobra2-X and Sidewinder-X.

and one complementary OXZ

[[BetterBuoys | Better Buoys]] re-textures the default navigation and Witchpoint buoys.

The Classic Ships

2016-09-09T17:57:21Z

Smivs:

== Overview ==

"The Classic Ships" is a shipset OXZ which has been produced to bring the original Elite-style Oolite ships back into the game. With high-quality modern graphics, these charming Retro designs ensure that Nostalgia has never looked so good.

== The Ships and their Background ==

[[Image:classicComp1.png|right|750px]]

In the 31st Century, spacecraft of all types are needed in large numbers as the inhabited planets can only survive and prosper through inter-system trade. But ship losses are high - space is inherantly dangerous, and more perils await the spacefaring community than just natural hazards. Many ships do survive though, and indeed some of the ships encountered could be hundreds of years old.

Due to frequent losses and also to sustain the burgeoning galactic economy, ships, lots of them, have to be built quickly and cheaply, but they also have to be incredibly strong and durable.

With one or two exceptions all the ships of this time are pure spacecraft, built solely to fly between Star Systems, with the GalCop stations that orbit all inhabited Worlds as their departure and arrival points. As a consequence they have no atmospheric or planetary-landing capability as these are simply not needed. They are therefore built in space at huge orbital shipyards which are dotted around the Eight at suitable planets and moons.

Due to the difficulties of working in zero-G, the need was for designs that can be fabricated relatively quickly and easily. It therefore soon became clear that the optimum manufacturing method was to design and build large, un-sophisticated hulls, with huge panels of Duralium Alloy being welded together into simple, easy-to-construct forms. The Duralium panels used can be as large as five by three metres and are nearly 1/2 metre thick, as this offers maximum protection against micro-meteorites and radiation, and also some protection against laser fire.

By building the ships as large as they are, it is also possible to include all the equipment, running gear, engines, fuel tanks, holdspace, living quarters, life support and ordnance within the hull itself. This offers maximum protection to all the ship's systems.

These ships would be just as effective (and even easier to build) if they were just big cubes, but most sentient races possess a sense for aesthetics, meaning that the demand is for something more attractive than a flying brick. So despite the minimalist ethos behind the designs the various models are still stylish and distinctive.

== Special features ==

1) Where appropriate the ships have flashing navigation strobes.
 
2) The Thargoid Warships have the alternating red/green colour scheme described on the Wiki.
 
3) The Moray Starboat and Medical boat (submarine flying boats built by aquatic Races) have a unique 'organic' hull, and special 'HydroStellar' drive units capable of propelling the craft in water, atmosphere or space.
 
4) The ships will become visibly derelict if the pilot ejects in an escape capsule. As the ship shuts down the navigation strobes are switched off, followed a few seconds later by the main interior and hull lights. As the exhaust starts to fade, the ship begins to gently tumble, and finally the engine powers down completely leaving the ship dark and dead, drifting in space.
 
5) Extra Textures. Previously, variants of three types of ship shared common textures, and three new Pirate ships were introduced in Oolite v1.80, so six extra textures have been added, bringing the total to Thirty Seven. Each ship specified in shipdata now has its own unique texture.

== This Expansion Pack ==

The "Classic Ships" are facsimilies of the original Elite ships, first seen as wireframe graphics in 1984.

They were re-modeled and textured by Giles Williams (Aegidian) when he first coded Oolite in 2004. In this form they were the default ships until the release of Oolite v1.80 in June, 2014 by which time they were looking rather tired and dated. Although now superceded as the default shipset, they are still held in high esteem by many, and have a strong nostalgic and Retro appeal. In producing this Expansion, the author's aim was to re-imagine them in a thoroughly modern way while preserving the heritage they represent.

The original models have been used and are unchanged. New models have been produced to add engines to the ships and a Gun model has also been utilised. This approach retains the authenticity of the classic shapes while giving them the more rounded, complete look demanded today.
The texturing has also been completely updated to meet modern standards. The texture designs are heavily influenced by Aegidian's original set, but have been extensively re-worked to meet today's standards of detail and quality.
Using diffuse, emission, normal and specular mapping this shipset requires a shader-capable computer to look at its best although it will work (and still look good) on most non-shader machines. Users of low-end computers might find the high-resolution images too heavy on resources however, but a 'Lite' version of the set with much smaller graphics files is scheduled for release very soon.

Two versions are available in line with recent shipset convention, a 'Replace' set which replaces the default ships with the Classic Ships, or an 'Addition' set which adds the Classic Ships to the default set to allow a mix.

This OXZ has no affect on gameplay or game mechanics.

==The Classic Ships suite==

The Classic Ships OXZ has five supplementary packs available.

[[Mussurana | The Classic Mussurana]] Aegidians pretty Void Yacht, fully updated for today.

[[ClassicShipyard | The Classic Shipyard]] allows the player to buy a ship with any of the alternative textures featured in the OXZ suite.

[[Classic_Super-Pythons | The Classic SuperPythons]] is a modern graphics update for two of Aegidian's early OXP ships, the Python Class Cruiser and the Python Eunectes Turbo.

[[ClassicVarietyPack | The Classic variety Pack]] adds 20 more textures for the core ships to give more variety.

[[Classic X-ships | The Classic X-ships]] is a modern graphics update for three of Aegidian's early OXP ships. Asp-X, Cobra2-X and Sidewinder-X.

and one complementary OXZ

[[BetterBuoys | Better Buoys]] re-textures the default navigation and Witchpoint buoys.

Smivs:

(Moonscape and Astronaut images:- NASA)

[[Image:CmdSmivs.jpg|center]]

'''Commander Smivs'''

A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away a young Cucurbitan known simply as Smivs cut his teeth in a Cobra spacecraft trading goods and collecting bounties to earn an honest crust. He enjoyed this life for just a few brief years before mysteriously disappearing, it seemed forever.
 
No one knew what had happened or where he had gone, but rumours were that his ship's C64 flight computer had failed on a mission leaving him stranded at the back end of nowhere.
 
And then, some twenty five years later he miraculously returned, older and wiser but penniless. Starting with a lowly Cobra Mk I he set about cleaning up the Ooniverse and doing a nice bit of trade on the side. He slowly built up some funds which allowed him eventually to upgrade to a Python, and then after a while to a Boa Class Cruiser, until today when you will find him flying the Iron-Ass Boa II Clipper ''Bilbo Maru''.
 
People sometimes ask Commander Smivs where he had been, what he had seen and done in the intervening years, but they never get an answer. The mystery, the enigma will most likely never be explained. All we know is that the young seed has grown into a Gourd of distinction, and he now strides the Ooniverse like a Colossus, banishing evil, acting as a force for good, and generally making loads of money and having a damn good time.


[[Image:BilboMaru.png|right]]

'''Bilbo Maru'''
The ''Bilbo Maru'' is a Boa II Clipper Class, bought new from the Gerege Federation Space Works by Commander Smivs to replace the ''Nemesis'' a veteran Boa Class Cruiser which after many years of sterling service was starting to get a bit tired.


She is very well equipped, and is a true 'Iron Ass'. As well as the standard Fuel Scoops, Heat Shielding and supplementary 4LY external Fuel Tanks the following equipment has been fitted.
 
Factory Fitted:-
 
Escape Capsule, 4 x Military Lasers, ECM, Naval Energy Unit, Docking Computers, Fuel Injectors, Advanced Space Compass, Scanner Targeting Enhancemant, Multi-targeting System, Target System Memory Expansion, Advanced Navigational Array, Shield Boosters, Military Shield Enhancement.


Carried over from previous ship:-
 
Cloaking Device.


Retro-fitted:-
 
Wormhole Scanner, Rock Hermit Locator, Beer Cooler, 5 x ECM Hardened Missiles, Galactic Hyperdrive.


Unlike many of the Cucurbita people, Commander Smivs has a fondness for animals, and he has added an image of Bilbo his pet Cat (a type of small furry carnivore from planet Earth) after who the ship was named, to the vessel's sides.


Total cost of purchase and fitting-out was 748 210 Cr.

==O.C.C. Teretrurus Mk-I 'Purple Haze/Shield Tail'==
The Thruttles are a family of silly walruses who run a small shop in Galaxy 3 known as the Orzaedve Cobra Choppers. The Teretrurus MK-I is made from a vintage Cobra MK-III hull - or more like a quarter of a hull fitted with some just-divorced-at-age-45 sized engines. It comes in two variants, the Purple Haze (shown below) and the Shield Tail (right). There is little difference between the two ships, other than the colour scheme and the interior (the Shield Tail comes equipped with a shower compartment that uses actual water).

==Custom Paintjobs==

==Teretrurus v3.0 OXZ (by Smivs)==

An update of Dr Nil's Teretrurus Mk.1 OXP.

Released 29th January, 2016

The Teretrurus is a 'chopped' Cobra Mk III and is available in two styles, The 'Purple Haze' and the 'Shield Tail'. They are identical except for their brash and shiny paintjobs. Both are player-buyable and they also feature in-game occassionally in several roles.

This version brings improved graphics with detailed high-definition textures and emission, normal and specular mapping, so shaders should be 'on' to enjoy them at their best, but they do also look very good in non-shader mode.

The original models have been retained and the ships are unchanged from the original spec's in the Wiki.
The code has been updated from XML to openStep, and has been completely revised for v3.0.
shipdata has been re-written for v3.0 to ensure compliance with Oolite v1.80, and a few detail changes have been made to ensure the OXP is balanced, and is consistant with the Wiki page.
Shipdata 'Accuracy' has been set to 6 so the pilots will be better than average, but not too lethal.

Smivs: teretrurus update - new link

(Moonscape and Astronaut images:- NASA)

[[Image:CmdSmivs.jpg|center]]

'''Commander Smivs'''

A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away a young Cucurbitan known simply as Smivs cut his teeth in a Cobra spacecraft trading goods and collecting bounties to earn an honest crust. He enjoyed this life for just a few brief years before mysteriously disappearing, it seemed forever.
 
No one knew what had happened or where he had gone, but rumours were that his ship's C64 flight computer had failed on a mission leaving him stranded at the back end of nowhere.
 
And then, some twenty five years later he miraculously returned, older and wiser but penniless. Starting with a lowly Cobra Mk I he set about cleaning up the Ooniverse and doing a nice bit of trade on the side. He slowly built up some funds which allowed him eventually to upgrade to a Python, and then after a while to a Boa Class Cruiser, until today when you will find him flying the Iron-Ass Boa II Clipper ''Bilbo Maru''.
 
People sometimes ask Commander Smivs where he had been, what he had seen and done in the intervening years, but they never get an answer. The mystery, the enigma will most likely never be explained. All we know is that the young seed has grown into a Gourd of distinction, and he now strides the Ooniverse like a Colossus, banishing evil, acting as a force for good, and generally making loads of money and having a damn good time.


[[Image:BilboMaru.png|right]]

'''Bilbo Maru'''
The ''Bilbo Maru'' is a Boa II Clipper Class, bought new from the Gerege Federation Space Works by Commander Smivs to replace the ''Nemesis'' a veteran Boa Class Cruiser which after many years of sterling service was starting to get a bit tired.


She is very well equipped, and is a true 'Iron Ass'. As well as the standard Fuel Scoops, Heat Shielding and supplementary 4LY external Fuel Tanks the following equipment has been fitted.
 
Factory Fitted:-
 
Escape Capsule, 4 x Military Lasers, ECM, Naval Energy Unit, Docking Computers, Fuel Injectors, Advanced Space Compass, Scanner Targeting Enhancemant, Multi-targeting System, Target System Memory Expansion, Advanced Navigational Array, Shield Boosters, Military Shield Enhancement.


Carried over from previous ship:-
 
Cloaking Device.


Retro-fitted:-
 
Wormhole Scanner, Rock Hermit Locator, Beer Cooler, 5 x ECM Hardened Missiles, Galactic Hyperdrive.


Unlike many of the Cucurbita people, Commander Smivs has a fondness for animals, and he has added an image of Bilbo his pet Cat (a type of small furry carnivore from planet Earth) after who the ship was named, to the vessel's sides.


Total cost of purchase and fitting-out was 748 210 Cr.
