Maybe it is possible to have the revised police viper change signals as its AI status changes? Flashing blue lights when they move to intercept a fugitive or something.... Or was that what you meant anyway?

I believe this is what is already happening with police ships. According to the policeInterceptAI, the first thing they do is switch on lights.

I see. Maybe I am too much of a law-abiding trader...

Best wishes,

Wow, the viper looks really cool and the Adder (specially the cockpit windows) looks awesome.

**want more**

Nice. Although the moon in the background looks too much like Earth's moon for my taste.

@captKev : goddamn, that's a glorious screenshot. looks like i'm missing a few OXPs, must admit to have been long gone from playing Oolite for a while, sidetracked into doing a mission for Delta Force Black Hawk Down.

which oxps are those items from?

@Killer Wolf, version 1.71 of Oolite with griff_shady_station, Rusty Ships, System Redux and Fighter HUD.

Here's an alternative version to my earlier screenshot. The sun and the planet make for a completely different lighting.

Here the earlier one again for comparison:

@ all,

Wow great!
Keep them coming!

Nope, the alternative is fundamentally wrong.

You can't have liquid oceans and that amount of sunlight without a creating a very active atmosphere - but there are no clouds on the planet.

Well, that's an issue of System_Redux. The clouds of the clouded planet are simply in the texture itself. The Mars-like planet with oceans has no clouds.

Which brings up the question why (all!) the System_Redux planets don't have the usual Oolite-clouds? Answer: because System_Redux doesn't actually use the addPlanet-method, but the addMoons-method, which supresses the cloud-layer. Therefore they can't have clouds, if the textures themselves don't have them.

EDIT: Which still leaves the question why there is some kind of atmosphere around the planets (which shouldn't be there for objects that are added with the addMoon-method). Anyway, the absence of a cloud layer may also be due to the setting of percent_cloud to 0.0 in the universal-entry of the planetinfo.plist in System_Redux (although I'm not sure whether that is even supposed to work, if it's not a key of the planet-entry).

So that would be a "lack of realism"-complaint to the authors of System_Redux.

Anything can in the Oolite Ooniverse.
