[Release] Coluber Yellowbelly racer

Post by Captain Beatnik »

This .oxp adds the Coluber CYR-30350 "Yellowbelly Racer" to the Ooniverse.

The Yellowbelly Racer is a armored multi purpose ship, a good choice for a lonewolf trader. It has less cargo capacity
than a cobra 3, but more energy and a slightly better energy recharge rate.

What else can I tell you about the Yellowbelly Racer? Well, I think the best description might be the ode "Space-Fever"
by Njoh Feesamild, the famous poet from Isinor:

"I must now out in space again, the lonely space and the endless sky,
And all I ask is a sturdy ship and a good working HUD to steer by,
And the joysticks kick and the energy banks song and the engines shaking,
And a grey mist of far away galaxies, and a pirate-ships hull breaking."

CYR-30350 Yellowbelly Racer stats:

Size (metres, WxHxL) 96 x 24 x 88
Cargo capacity: 30 TC
Cargo bay extension: no
Maximum speed: 0.350 LM
Manoeuvrability
Roll: 2.5
Pitch: 1.0
Yaw: 0.8
Thrust: 40
Energy banks: 6
Energy recharge rate: Excellent (4.5)
Gun mounts: Fore, Aft
Missile slots: 4
Shield boosters available: Yes
Military shields available: Yes
Hyperspace capable: Yes
Available to player: Yes
Base price 325000 Cr

I have added a save-file containing a fully equipped Yellowbelly Racer for those who just want to make a quick testflight.

A HUD designed especially for the Yellowbelly Racer is available:

If you want to use the CYR-HUD, just edit the shipdata.plist
and delete the two slashes in front of the line "hud = cb68_cyr_hud.plist. Or just put the stand-alone-version of CYR-HUD into
your addons folder.

Enjoy! :)

Nice! Downloading..

really great ship design & texture! It fits in perfectly with the Elite ships as if it was designed by Braben & Bell themselves! :D

Handles nicely, too.. I managed to pick up a red & yellow one with a NEU already fitted for 525,000. Traded my iron-ass Cobby for it, and had 160,000 left over to spend on kitting her out. So amongst other things, I installed 6 passenger berths and turned her into the sexiest Taxi in Gal1 :twisted:


Whereupon, I had rather an interesting time...

Beautyful! Installed and tested yesterday (with the Pitviper) I like it very much!
It will be my next ship. Now I just bough a Pitviper Beast... I thought it was the right ship to face "Victim 11" :)

Looks good, taking it for a spin! :)
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

I think this is the best commendation that can be given to a ship designer. Thank you very much, Griff! :D :D :D

I like the guide lines for the crosshairs and I think it was very innovative of you to use a line of text for the guage markings. Very 'outside-the-box' of you and well done! :)

I like the ship design as it fits with the original shipset very nicely. :)
