Intro
Created by Arexack as part of an ongoing project to insert greater variety into the wonderful Ooniverse.
Firstly, the OXP adds different types of cargo canisters. Some types of cargo are packed in wooden crates, some in metal pods, some in metallic pyramids, radioactives have a warning symbol painted on their canister and so on. Adds variety when you laser up an innocent trader to scoop his cargo!
The OXP also adds a small chance of scooping up a Fuel Pod from a vanquished enemy, topping up your tanks.
Secondly, the OXP adds more wreckage to the game. When a ship is destroyed, broken pieces of the ship may spin away and explode, making for more enjoyable kills!

Note on History
I updated Cargo Wreck Teaser.oxp a few times since the last message. The current version v.1.6 now contains a material directory with specular maps for all barrels. The specular maps add selective reflections to the barrels. Your computer needs shaders to use those maps. Also is this oxp since version 1.5.4 fully compatible with the current 1.73 Oolite AND with the coming 1.74 release. For those that already work with trunk versions, I prepared a little Cargo Wreck Showroom.oxp. It is just a small oxp that displays all available barrels on a mission screen after startup. Because the pods are now blown up at full screen size, you'll see them better than in game. This last showroom.oxp needs Oolite v.1.74
