Variants are fine, eg the mosquito sport and trader, look identical apart from the skin.

Actually the sport is smaller and has two extra fins which the mosquito doesn't

there are two variants of the sport though, a silver skin and an orange one.

Just downloaded the OXP, can't wait to play it. I'm in galaxy 2 at the moment though, so I've not even got my cloaking device (how do I get that by the way?)
Anyway, just posting to say - really looking forward to playing this one.

I can't log on either

actually, apart from the back of the ship, my textures are pretty simple......just don't tell anyone

Just to let you all know, my Cobra 3 is ready for download. Hope you like it, and remember kids, don't forget to vote!

I think laser coolers are a good idea! Especially as a lot of the new OXP include grand battles. Just make them really expensive if you want to even things out.

Almost finished!!

Get a Mosquito Trader

wow! I've never made Elite on any version of the game! I've got ages before I do on this one too, so well done! Now go and find Raxala

This is probably a silly idea and might not even be much use, but hey, I'll throw it out there. You know when you go to the shipyard and on the right is the rotating ship of the highlighted choice; wouldn't it be cool if you could click on that ship and rotate & zoom it yourself with the mouse (...

I've got a Hamadryad at the moment - so the fuel injectors getting me to full speed quickly doesn't make me smug, it makes me glad to stay alive when I realise I've bitten off more than I can chew taking on 5 pirates.

damn pesky pirates!

You can check your FPS by pressing Shift+F (if you want to )

An interesting path...the ships on that coverart are smoothed.

Yup, although mine is more inspired by the cover art rather than a direct copy.

EDIT: Also, I don't think glow maps have been implemented yet in the PC version (have they?)

I may have to reduce the texture size to 512x512 then if it's a graphics card issue. I'm having fun with sub-entities aswell (i've just found out how easy they are to add) so my pimped cobra is going to be one you want to shoot to bits - literally. You'll be able to blow away the back and see the ex...
