Released: The Scimitar

Post by CaptSolo »

Xeceesian shipyards went broke producing this ship and were forced into receivership. The CEO reportedly left the plant with the last unit and has not been seen since.

Wiki page with descriptions and expandable image Here.
I had to adjust the image thumbnail size to get it displayed - bit odd that.

This OXP can be downloaded from the link below:

nice one. :)

Just being curious - I wonder what made you decide no bounty hunters (but player) will fly this ship ?
§5&&&§" :| - Looks like I am going blind again.

PS - So you develop shaderfied ships on non-shader-hardware ? wow, how difficult does this make things ?

The shipdata.plist defines a player, hunter NPC, and pirate NPC roles. Following on my backstory, the pirate ship does not have quite the same specs as the other two.

The custom shaders were written by Griff and have been tried and proven. Just need to declare the textures in correct order and insure the effects map uses the correct RGB values. Also, while my wife was not looking I installed Oolite on her machine which supports full shaders. :twisted:

Sweet! Nice looking ship, Solo!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!
