Aquatics OXP

From Elite Wiki
The Manta Ray in flight.

Overview

My first released OXP, introducing the product line from the Aquarian Shipbuilding Corporation of Aqualina in Galaxy 3.

These are mostly military, developed for the Sector Wars (see Vortex OXP).

A new range of ships for a wide variety of uses and credit accounts. Also a new HQ station is added to Aqualina (the former colony of Ribiara), and a mission can be undertaken there for a suitably experienced (Dangerous) commander.
