		+	'''Vimana Ship Overrides''' is available on the [[Expansions Manager]] in the '''Ships''' category.

−	The ship overrides in version 2.05 have been moved to a separate OXP, '''Vimana Ship Overrides''', available on the Expansion Manager in the '''Ships''' category.
		+	Those overrides make VimanaHUD the default HUD for many core game ships, and also increase the following ship properties:

		+	:*Energy banks
		+	:*Cargo capacity

−	Those overrides make VimanaHUD the default HUD for many core game ships, and increase the following ship properties: cargo capacity, flight speed, number of pylons, energy banks.
		+	These were an integral part of Gnievmir's original Vimana HUD. The reason for hiving the overrides off into a second oxp is that some players will want to stay with the original ship's characteristics. They can now use HUD Selector to select the Vimana HUD as the default HUD.

		+	Players that are using VimanaHUD v2.05 (or earlier) are advised to install this additional OXP ''before'' loading the saved game of a ship that has cargo based on the expanded capacity granted by v2.05: otherwise cargo loss will result.

 The warning messages are a very great help. Especially for low altitude & high cabin temperature - which can easily prove fatal since one does not usually keep one's eye on the altimeter or cabin temperature gauges! The others (shields, energy banks, incoming missile) are useful too.
