Passenger Ship
I was thinking. Is there a good ship for passenger carrying? I mean a ship that is preferably fast, good for fighting through to wherever is needed, and has enough space for a passenger berth? I don't see much of this in the original ships. The Cobra MkIII is fits this description and is great, but it might be nice for a little variation. My souped-up Adder is fun, but I will be glad to upgrade when I have the money. And the Asp doesn't have a cargo hold. Are there some good OXP ships that aren't game changers? I feel like vanilla Oolite doesn't have a great variety in ships as far as player options go. I mean, does anyone really fly in a Star Boat?

Re: Passenger Ship
The Python is a pretty good ship for its price.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Re: Passenger Ship
It is indeed! I have spent a decent amount of time in one. It is a little cumbersome, however. I would love something small, maybe even as small as a 10 ton hold, but also fast and powerfulCody wrote:The Python is a pretty good ship for its price.

~10T hold, small, fast, powerful... maybe you're looking for a Fer-de-lance?Hans Olo wrote:It is indeed! I have spent a decent amount of time in one. It is a little cumbersome, however. I would love something small, maybe even as small as a 10 ton hold, but also fast and powerful
Re: Passenger Ship
Asp Explorer (Z-ships) does have a cargo hold, and with with Large Cargo Bay you can fit a passenger berth in it .
Same applies to Sunracer (Far Arm ships).

Re: Passenger Ship
The Wolf Mk II is also a good ship - though it's flown by some very disreputable pilots.

Re: Passenger Ship
I've heard rumours of this ship, I'm surprised I didn't look into it! Definitely on my wishlist now. I got in a bit of a financial crisis and couldn't afford a Cobra Mk II at this point, but I am working on fixing that!Cody wrote:The Wolf Mk II is also a good ship - though it's flown by some very disreputable pilots.

Re: Passenger Ship
I use a veloce e appunita MvM Veloce e Appuntita OXP ver. 1.0
Date: 4 November, 2012
Author:Knotty
Installation and use:
Copy the OXP to your add ons Folder The Marziani verdi Martelli Veloce e Appuntita is the utimate super Grant tourer for exhilarating performace and unparralled comfort. It's smooth lines hide the raw power of the most powerfull sublght engines placed in a spaceframe, and it's tentacle crafted cabin ensures absolute luxary wherever you go. a multitude of colour options with a high spec of standard features (*convertable option no longer avaliable) This ship is a grand tourer in the vain of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, Maserati GranTurismo, Aston Martin DB9, good looks, loads of power, fast of the line but not something to chuck round a corner, somewhat lacking in storage, and an arm and a leg to buy and own. The design is inspired by the clean lines Porsche design boat, with a hypersonice wave rider lower hull

Re: Passenger Ship
You could also look at one of my OXPs, the Arachnid Mark 1, follow the link on my signature strip for the Wiki page and download link.
It's a ship based on an Elite style and is similar in specification to a Cobra Mark 3 (A little less cargo space but slightly faster. Full specs are on the Wiki page).

Re: Passenger Ship
Maybe someone ought to design a proper passenger ship OXP with non-removeable passenger cabins? ALA the Orca or Dolphin from ED.

Re: Passenger Ship
I have to say, the old BCC takes some beating. Not particularly fast, more of a luxury liner than a black cab, but a whole heap of convertible cargo space ... and those 7 energy banks are not to be sniffed at.
