User:Thargoid

Thargoid is a small green furry creature from Alpha-Centuri (occasionally mistaken for a sick trumble), who in his spare time likes to wrestle balrogs, rescues dragons in distress from damsels and paint dust motes in interesting but luridly invisible colours.

Some of the above may not be 100% accurate (he swears he's blue, not green).

He has also written a few OXPs for Oolite, and has a couple more in progress, much to the annoyance of Mrs Thargoid and the little Thargons:

Released:

• Aquatics v1.01 - Ships OXP, with future plans for shipyard station and mission.

• Pods v1.00 - New cargo pods and pod features. Includes fuel, missile, large-capacity and empty pods, plus some which explode, don't scoop right, jam in the scoops or even explode in the cargo bay, breaching the hull. Oh and I succumbed and added the trumble pod too, much as I wasn't going to...

• Pods UPS Courier add-on v1.00 - Extension to the Pods OXP to impliment some of the pods to the UPS Courier OXP's UPS pods. Note that both Pods and UPS Courier need to be installed for this to work and be a proper player experience.

• Energy Equipment v1.02 - Two new pieces of equipment, the emergency charge device (ECD) and the emergency energy unit (EEU). Both are single-use devices, the ECD a pylon-based player triggered device that adds a top-up to the ships energy banks, and the EEU a system-fitted version that is automatically triggered when energy levels become critical.

Under development or planned:

• Combat Drone - What it says on the tin, an OXP adding a new missile variant which can attack its selected target independently, via both laser and explosion.

• To Catch a Thargoid - Some new Thargoid ships, plus a mission.

• Icons - Some classic ships for the Ooniverse. Initial ideas include the Concoorde, the Starship Tootanic and the Discwoorld.
