Well, I think i've got this oxp finished now, although my PC seems to hide a lot of shader related bad news from me for some reason, i'm almost certain it's going to work straight out of the box *prays silently*

The oxp won't work properly with any version of Oolite earlier than v1.72 (it uses the randomUnitVector shader binding to randomise the paint colour used on the ship).
edit: oxp now requires oolite 1.74 or higher

Check out this thread for Cmdr Wyverns beefed up version of the griff_boa & griff_krait oxp's, they play much better in-game than the originals

I can report a complete lack of shader errors so far. :-)

That is a very impressive ship :shock:

Is there any change that in the future there will be an oxp that will change all ships and stations of the basic set into something like that?
In the past there has been a discussion about a dream team and the replacement of all basic set via an oxp. I have also seen a very impresive anacoda in a snapshot but i can not found it in the wiki page so i can not download it

How many ships has been changed so far and from where i can download them?

Most amazing ship I've ever seen in Oolite. The only observation I have to make is that the turrets seem to be fluttering (hope this is the correct word) until they get a target lock. Very minor thing, though, it still is the best design out there, in my opinion.

Yeah, 'twitchy turret syndrome' - it comes to us all in the end.
Is there something i can change in the turret subentities settings in the shipdata.plist? - make the thrust setting higher/lower?

:lol: I've just seen the Wiki pages for the space magazines on the wiki! Brilliant!

That's an amazing ship...... where do I get one for my house?

:D
I shot him back first. That is to say, I read his mind and fired before he would have fired on me. No, sir, he wasn't a fugitive.

Well, a promise of more ships looking like that would make me reconsider my plans and buy kinda more expensive notebook....

Looking at the screenie, I realized one thing tho. Oolite would need complete graphics overhaul...

Under 1.72, will the turrets fire if it's a player ship?
