Old Ships
Overview
This expansion pack adds 8 ships to the Universe,
the Bushmaster Miner (ArcElite)
Cat/Cougar (Elite2)
Chameleon (EliteA)
Ghavial (EliteA)
Iguana (EliteA)
Monitor (EliteA)
Ophidian (EliteA)
Salamander* (EliteA)
of these, only the Bushmaster is an NPC only, due to the Miner's Guild restrictions preventing 'just anybody' from flying it
- Salamander is, from what I've been able to find, a 'myth-name'.
the models are either taken by eye-measurement via the great collection of ships by John Mackay at http://mackayj.doosh.net/, or in the case of the EliteA ships, true to the original given coordinates.
the original designs are, from what I can tell, by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras for the Bushmaster, by Ian Bell for the Cat/Cougar, and the rest by Angus Duggan,

Difficulty Rating
"Noob". This OXP adds new ships, but the ships added are within the power-range of the Classic Elite Ships. If you chose to install this OXP more variety is added to the game. These new ships are no tougher than the ships you would encounter in the basic set. This OXP simply adds more variety to the ships you will encounter in the space lanes and find for sale in Shipyards. This OXP is a SHIPS OXP. Install it and everyone can fly these ships, the Player and NPCs alike.
Installing and Playing
To play the OXP, unzip the download file. This will create a folder named "oldships.oxp" and a readme.Move the "oldships.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.
