Well done indeed! Great detail, and yet still looks "Elitish". }:]

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Thanks guys I'm in the process of testing the ship in game to make sure it plays as intended then have a little tweaking to do with the texturing.

Cargo Bay Extension 5T
Maximum speed 0.355 LM
Thrust 35
Manoeuvrability Roll 1.5 and Pitch 1.6

Gun mounts 4No (Fore, Aft, Port and Starboard)
Missile slots 2
Shield boosters available Yes
Military shields available Yes

Thanks Spara.

I've been play testing the ship for a little while now and believe that I have got it balanced in such a way that it compares quite closely with Cobra Mark 3.

I will also be putting together a Wiki page, in the same style as those produced for my other OXPs, which will provide further information.

Yep, it's got quite a 'no nonsense' air about it..

Er, nearly :?
It has been dormant for a long time due to RL(TM) issues, but life is a bit more settled now and I have been in touch with CML who is my 'partner in crime' on this one regarding resurrecting it. Cutting a long story short we should be able to get back to it very soon.
Memory tells me that it just needs a bit more script tweaking done and a tidy up of the texturing, so once we've reminded ourselves where we got to, we'll try to get it finished.
