Overview

The Fer-de-Lance Spaceship, SS for short, is a variant of the Fer-de-Lance which is based on the designs of Simon B and produced under license from SoloTek Industries. While slightly faster, it offers only 2 mounts (fore and rear). On the plus, the basic price is 35,000 Cr less.

The figher-like design of the hull attracted some rich adventurous commanders who didn't want to miss the well known luxury while hunting. The ship is nowadays mainly found with hunters and assassins.

Remarks

Some words from the author:

I've always been a fan of Simon Bridge's modeling and texturing skills. My aim with this OXP was to add some visual flash by rendering the ships with new shaders and textures. Well, the shaders aren't exactly new. I used Oolite's built in vertex shader and Keeper's fragment shader. Another goal was to bring these ships up to speed for Oolite 1.80, which offers new AI's and ship roles.

New Textures:
I left Simon's diffuse textures untouched, but I tweaked the models in Wings3D to give each ship a streamlined appearance rather than all hard edges. Then I used the diffuse texture as source and created from them the following:

  • Specular Map in the alpha channel of the diffuse texture.
  • Effects Map for glowing effects.
  • Normal Map with a random paint color texture in the alpha channel.


Credits

  • Simon Bridge aka Simon B (models and diffuse textures)
