Illicit Unlock

[Norby]

it should be even more expensive

The wiki contain 10MCr as cost of Constrictor.

Could easily be more - and it should be very rare, considering its history.

I think that 2M would be fine.
i've already seen its characteristics and unless "illicit unlock oxp" is wrong, this ship can't be equipped with some very important equipment.

Wow, I should really read the wiki more. So much for "classified"...

I'll check out the equipment issues shortly, and bump up the price again.

OK version 2.4 is now available for download. I've increased the cost of the Constrictor again, added the missing optional equipment (no idea why the Advanced Spare Compass wasn't in there to begin with), and slightly reduced the chance of finding one.

Good hunting, everyone!

Hi!
You nailed it! "important equipment" is now available.
I'm now testing oxp equipment, most of them work fine, but TELESCOPE EXTENDER +GRAVITY ESCANNER can't be installed ( constrictor, gecko.....)
Thanks!

If OXP equipment can't be installed, it will be restrictions in the OXP itself that are the cause now. I haven't looked at that particular one, but I know that Norby often includes mass restrictions in his equipment packs.

TELESCOPE EXTENDER +GRAVITY SCANNER can't be installed ( constrictor, gecko.....)

The extender need a ship with at least 30t mass but Gecko only 24t and a Constrictor just 28t. The new heavy variant Constrictor SG is 42t so can hold an extender, but still can not use Gravity Scanner which need over 130t like a Cobra Mark III.

Sorry! you are right, i've just read it now.

Hi!
i'm not sure if it was designed this way or not but there was a horizontal stripe at the bottom of constrictor's rear view (it happens the same to gecko), it was a bit uncomfortable so i had to edit shipdata.plist to change some parameter.
This horizontal stripe has already disappeared and "rear view" looks better.
the new parameter is: view_position_aft = "0.0 5.0 -30.0"
You only have to change the third number:
Before: -22.5
Now: -30.0
A picture is worth a thousands words, but i can´t upload pictures on this forum!!!!

Another issue is that "shield boosters" should be added to gecko, krait and mamba.

You need to host pics somewhere (there are various free options - Postimage is one), then link to them here.
