Liners

Overview

Liners adds huge cruise liners to the spaceways. These are enormous vessels, self-contained cities in space, with often tens of thousands of passengers on board. They will ocassionally be found en-route to the planet, or in orbit around the planet close to the Main Station where passengers can enjoy the facilities of the GalCop stations and visit the planet below. Many of these ships have their own escort ships, shuttles and supply ships and these will often be seen ferrying passengers, crew and supplies from the station or the liner.

Aurora

Model: P.A. Groove
Basic Texture: P.A. Groove
Lighting and mapping: Griff:
AI and Escape Capsule Behavior: Thargoid

Overview

Rarely the traveller in the Ooniverse has the chance to spot the mighty Aurora Megacruiser. With a length of 4.3 kilometers and about 800 meters in height it really is a mobile world capable of supporting 500,000 souls in a standard setting. Transportation takes place by high speed people/alien movers. The Aurora surprisingly does not support a public ship dock. The dock masters of the Aurora want to know exactly who is on board. The waiting list for a place on one of the Ooniverses' 100 Auroras is almost 10 years. It's a safe ship but it still can be nuked or Q-bombed so expect it to be escorted by quite a large fleet. In case of an emergency a large lifeboat fleet can evacuate the richest passengers. The ship is going out of service because of the awkward method of bringing the clients on board by pods (not featured in this OXP)

Facilities

On board the passengers are treated with a wealth of facilities. From shopping malls to hospitals, a public central park, botanic gardens and hotels. Passengers travel for more than a year on the ship. In its travels it takes passengers to all the 8 galaxies.

Engines

4 GASEC SR-GD's (Space Rotary Galactic Drive) take the ship to 0.24 LM which is quite fast for such a large ship.

Emerald

Model: Thargoid
Basic Texture: P.A.Groove
Normal and Lighting maps: Griff
Scripting: Thargoid

Overview

The Emerald is a luxury city in space and has all the facilities that you'd expect to serve the thousands of passengers on board.
The ship is served by its own fleet of shuttles, liners and runabouts to ferry passengers, crew and supplies around at the planets and stations visited.

Tigershark

Model: P.A. Groove
Basic Texture: P.A.Groove
Normal and Lighting maps: Griff
Scripting: Thargoid
Naming list: P.A. Groove

Overview

Moogul shipyards inc. based on Bearrabe (G6) presents the Tigershark. It certainly is one of the most elegant liners in space. With a length of 2,1 kilometers features all the luxury you could normally find on a liner. Originally this liner was meant as a multiple role hull, like the Orisis. Although most of the Tigersharks are fitted as cruiseships some liners are fitted as office ships, hospital ships or even diplomatic centers. Due to an efficient Partnership with both GASEC and the Aquarian shipbuilding corp this ship is encountered all over the eight.

Drives

The 2 special Propucel A2 Drives have the unique property that no exhaust plume is generated. This makes the drive more efficient and fast. Some commander in older ships cannot dock with the liner because it is too fast. The drive is capable of .28 LM.

Docking

Docking is from the back. After asking permission the ship slows down a bit. So you can dock. For commanders it features an onboard trade port for trade and equipment.

Saga Class Liners

Model: ADCK
Basic Texture: Smivs
Lighting maps: Smivs
Scripting: Thargoid

Overview

The 'Saga' class cruise liners are operated by P&Oo Cruises, who specialise in luxury retirement cruises. These one and a half kilometer long vessels are luxuriously appointed and have all the facilities their demanding clients require. They tend to operate in 'safer' systems as the elderly passengers are looking for quiet enjoyment of their cruise, and the ships will normally be accompanied by two Adder escorts for added safety. The staterooms are appointed up to five-star standards, and the ships have many quality restaurants, shops, cinemas and all the features a ship of this type would be expected to have. One of the main features is the 'Concourse', a vast open atrium with several mezzanine decks, where you will find the shops and other public facilities. The 'Concourse' is topped by a vast plexiglass dome which has a viewing gallery aound it's base giving an incredible panoramic view above the ship. Often the liner will orientate itself so that, when in orbit around a planet, the planet can be seen 'hovering' above the ship.
