Overview
I am restarting my original project to re-imagine the classic ships to take advantage of the expanded features in Oolite 1.73 (oooh - bleeding edge!) including normal mapping to create ridges, with custom shaders, specular and glow maps. The trick is to create detailed, medium-poly, models which still fit the classic Elite look and feel. I'll also be working to preserve backward compatibility so that 1.69 will still render something which looks respectable. All ships are under the GNU GPL v2 or compatible license. You may use these OXPs to make your own ships, so long as you extend the same courtesy to others. Skins, maps, etc are under creative-commons attribution-sharealake. I don't mind if you want to base your own work off mine, provided due credit is given. If there are any questions or concerns, do ask.
The OXP was written by SimonB.
Gallery of Ships
Hover your mouse over the image to find out which ship it is. (Note that the screenshots do not show Shaders, this is because they were taken on a non-shader computer!!)

Downloads
Neolite Core v1.0. This is a full replacement set for all native oolite (non oxp) ships.
Neolite Companion v1.0. It replaces the following oxps: oldships.oxp, aegidean specials, aegidean x-ships, and Python Class Cruiser.
Neolite Wolfies v1.0. It replaces the wolfwoods-variants.oxp.
Difficulty Rating
"Noob". This OXP only replaces ships with better looking ones
Version History
v1.0 Original release
Installing and Playing
To play the OXP, unzip the download file. This will create a folder named "Neolite.oxp".Move the "Neolite.oxp" folder to AddOns. As with all OXPs, its the folder ending .oxp that you need to put in Oolite's AddOns folder, otherwise Oolite will not read it.
CAVEAT: non-neolite OXPs which use like_ship entries in their plist may inherit subentities from neolite ships. These oxps will be fixed as they are detected.
