Oolite Bulletins

welcome to the forum Hamish. Creating your own ship OXP is great fun. If you want to create your own ship I would suggest that the easiest way for starters is to produce a simple ship model in something such as Wings 3D and then use existing config folders (tweaked to apply to your new ship). As Jaz...

This looks great cim.

It would be good to see a variety of these in game.

Great work with the Mamba Griff

Smithy I'm glad you like them. I have another ship OXP, (The Arachnid Mark 1), which I will be releasing once I get some time. It is my first attempt at a 'traditional' Elite style ship. If you are looking for a new modelling software package Wings 3D is a good option. It's free and powerful but bes...

Smithy - That looks fantastic really well done.

I have been a little preoccupied lately with real life but hope to be back to building ships shortly.

Simon - Great looking ship. I look forward to its release.

sad news indeed. I agree with the idea of memorial however.

Thanks guys I'm in the process of testing the ship in game to make sure it plays as intended then have a little tweaking to do with the texturing.

This also looks great Paradox.

I thought that I would posts some screenshots showing current progress from a test version of my latest ship OXP, the Arachnid Mark 1, which is intended to be similar in specification to a Cobra Mark 3. I still have a little work to do on this one but it's not too far off now :D http://i1064.photobu...

Nice........I'll download when I get home tonight.

I like the Manta and Prototype 17 best.

Thanks Griff and I'm glad that you think the tutorial should be useful for those wishing to introduce shaders in to their OXPs.

It just seemed that if I was going to have a look at shaders it was an ideal time to put to paper, so to speak, what I learnt.

Good looking ship Paradox

That’s a shame to here Amaranth as I was looking forward to seeing your ships in game however I hope that you enjoy your break and come back at some stage not too far in the future. One option would be to become a ship designer and texturer as this is what you enjoy and then team up with another OXP...
