(This ship is also part of the coluber.oxp. Here comes the single ship .OXP that contains only the updated version of the red racer.)

The Red Racer is a fast, heavy long range fighter. It´s primary field of application is to act as escort for cargo ships that want to visit political unstable systems.
The Red Racer is something between an Asp MK 2 and a Cobra MK 3. Faster than a Cobra, but slower than an Asp, more cargo capacity than an Asp, but less than a cobra, slower energy recharge rate but better maneuverability than both.
This ship has VERY good dogfight abilities and can be equipped with strong shields. Thus is quite popular with pirates and bountyhunters alike.
It is rumored that some members of the Fist of Alecto, a secret society of bounty hunters, fly a special version of the Red Racer that is invisible on normal scanners. But if you ask me, that stories are just the same seaman´s yarn from the spacelanes as the stories about the deadly wonder worm, the mystic queen of the trumbles or the "Flying Dutchman" cobra MK 3 that guides the lost souls of those who die in witchspace back home.

If you want to use the CRR-HUD, just edit the shipdata.plist and delete the two slashes in front of the line "hud = cb68_crr_hud.plist. Or just put the stand-alone-version of CRR-HUD into your addons folder.
I have added a save-file containing a fully equipped Red Racer for those who just want to make a quick testflight.
For those who want to customize the Red Racer I have also added the GIMP and WINGS3D sourcefiles in the .ZIP-archive. The use of the sources makes customizing much easier. But be careful! Playing around with .OXP´s is highly addictive.
