The Cougar ST OXP ship is now available via the in-game OXP Manager. New textures, shaders, and a new alternate ship entry using 1.79 AI and NPC roles. Also can be found at a shipyard near you. Not for everyone as it has only a meager 5 TC cargo hold and no Cargo Bay Expansion. More information and new screen shots: [wiki]Cougar ST OXP[/wiki]
Changes:
1) Some errors / unwanted effects crept in related to the like_ship attribute from the custom Cougar ST, so the shipdata.plist had a total makeover. Anyone who installed version 1.4 is advised to remove same and replace with version 1.5.
2) The custom Cougar ST - the bounty hunter - was made a little tougher as he was getting wiped out too easily.

Introducing a new start-up shipyard located within Ontiat orbital space. They will be offering a range of design solutions which adhere to classical forms and functions. The company is staffed with a dedicated team of draftsmen and engineers, and run by the legendary figure of Ontiatian space-faring history (known only on Ontiat), Ninu Á . Although 200 years of age, she is still a hale and hearty reptile. Once a year, for six cycles of Rynôth, Ninu has holidayed on Tionisla. SoloTek will close their doors during this period, according to her wishes.
Down to business: SoloTek Industries has a number of projects at various stages. The marketing department has been feverishly wording and re-wording a press release for the craft seen below, photographed during it's initial test flight. Full details will be available soon.
How about creating some sort of shipyard for Solotek Industries at Ontiat? You could have a range of your ships for sale, and you would also be doing something for the Ontiat system! You could even shut it down for half a year if you so wished! (But have black market ships available at the main orbital at higher prices!).
