WARNING: Ship <ShipEntity 0x3e98b4f0>{"Thargoid Thorgon Cruiser" position: (106124, 96910.6, 102120) scanClass: CLASS_THARGOID status: STATUS_IN_FLIGHT} requested escorts, when it is an escort ship itself. Avoiding possible circular reference overflow by ignoring escort setup.
This one is harmless. It just means what it says. A ship which usually has escorts is used as an escort itself. It's from Thargoid Carrier OXP and allows for more variation for the escort of the carrier.

This also means just what it says. The specified texture couldn't be found. The most likely reason is a different spelling (for instance a different capitalization). Or the file is accidentally missing altogether.
WARNING: Ship <ShipEntity 0x3e98b4f0>{"Thargoid Thorgon Cruiser" position: (106124, 96910.6, 102120) scanClass: CLASS_THARGOID status: STATUS_IN_FLIGHT} requested escorts, when it is an escort ship itself. Avoiding possible circular reference overflow by ignoring escort setup.
To better understand what this warning means, picture the following scenario: Ship 1 has Ship 2 as escort in its shipdata.plist, while at the same time Ship 2 has Ship 1 as escort in its own shipdata.plist section. Can you imagine what will happen the moment Ship 1 gets spawned ?
You guessed correctly: Oolite will consume the entire computer's memory by continuously spawning Ship 1s and Ship 2s, eventually leading to a spectacular crash. That's why we preemptively disallow nested escorts from being generated and that's what the warning means. As already mentioned, it's harmless and is more of a heads-up to the creator of the OXP than anything else.
About the missing texture: Harmless, but without a correct texture, that part of a ship stays black (Or misses the special effects if it was an effect texture).
[files.notFound]: ----- WARNING: Could not find texture file "griff_coriolis_distance-map.png".
This texture was used in the first version of my coriolis & dodo station remakes - the high poly recent ones. The texture was used to put some big numbers on the sides of the station, i took it out in later versions and just replaced it with an arty symbol.
I think there's another station oxp by a different author that uses some of my coriolis shaders to do its stuff, my guess is that that oxp doesn't include griff_coriolis_distance-map.png as at the time of it's release that texture could be found in my oxp
