I've started work on the OXP, as talked about in another thread. It's slow going, but it is going.
This OXP will make some core NPC-only ships buyable for the player. This includes some "Pirate" variants.
Feedback is welcome, as always.

Yep. This OXP is going to be more elegant (better external views and gun positions), plus I want to have the pirate versions for sale as well. Also, if anyone wants to debate the price of NPC-only core ships, it would be really appreciated because I have no idea where to start.
Probably a good starting point is the Cobby Mk1, as it's closest to most of the ships you're looking at (Mamba, Sidewinder etc) in terms of size and general spec. Reduce the price a bit for lack of hyperdrive, but then look at things like pylons and (as best you can) energy banks etc to adjust the price.
Commander Smivs, the friendliest Gourd this side of Riedquat.

Sound advice... I know I'm going to spend a lot of time flying NPC ships.

I'm starting to wonder if this is too far out of my ability range... the concept sounds simple, but believe me, it's not.
I'm releasing a version of this OXP that allows you to buy the Krait. Chances are good you'll find one for sale.
I can't really add much to here, but I would like to convey my support. I have tried making separate temporary new commanders to fly npc ships via oxps like illicit unlock. While they have been fun, these commanders usually were just a temporary diversion, as those oxps often still had some issues, mainly with the viewpoints (no slight intended to the authors.)

Yeah, the views are very irritating. Smivs' scale image of Oolite ships is somewhat helpful, actually. Commander Wilmont, I'm very glad to know that support is out there.
I think there should be no limits as to what you could buy and fly. The Krait is such a cool ship, despite not having a hyperdrive. Make sure its as fast as the NPC version though. Perhaps injectors as standard?

Cheers,

Maybe you could start a Kickstarter Campaign to found your £4500 pledge.
Thanks to Gimi, I got an eBook in my inbox tonight (31st May 2014 - Release of Elite Reclamation)!
