The face was unintentional but I like it, It should be finished and released on monday

That looks wicked, like a cross between a Cylon fighter and the 'id' monster from Forbidden Planet.
Serendipity meets design.

That is providing a "highway" of sorts for travel to distant planets of the system you are already in.

You mean the technology of Gates OXP used in TCAT.oxp, as mentioned by Thargoid 7 posts above yours?

Hasn't somebody already turned that into an OXP for connecting the additional planets from one of the SystemRedux-type OXPs?

Or were the trials unsatisfactory because of the floating point precision problem? I remember at least quite extensive threads about it, but I can't be bothered to search for them.

Frame's Solar System OXP did it (and did it very well). Although I don't think it was ever fully completed.

I just researched it--seems it wasn't. But its in the WIP section of the [wiki]OXP List[/wiki] now so whoever is interested can take a look.

Thanx maik. Staer9 that is one nightmare of a ship!

You're like the Stephen King of ship design!

I think that should have been called the 'Medusa' for the effect it will have on pilots seeing it in their scanner!

If I was an alien from a rogue planet or moon with no sun that is the ship I would fly. And to me it would probably look kind of cute while everyone else that I happen across(unlikely) goes to pieces at the sight! Inspired!

Thanks for the coments on the ship

, for the release it is just going to be a pirate ship (but a very rare one) and ocasionally a player ship (if you can find it).

as for the name, Medusa sounds good, but I get the fealing someone has already done it... but it is not on the ships oxp list.

make sure to check this thread for further development
