Most of the .oxp's are accessable, though a couple (such as the 'Ugly Cobras' and new YT-1300 skin) are inaccessable. Strange, since the .oxp's either side of them (Lovecats, Dark Wheel Cobra III and Urutu Mk IV) are all accessable. When you try to download the inaccessable ones, a 403 Forbidden screen comes up stating: "You don't have permission to access /files/active// on this server.".

Can anybody tell me about these? Who created them? What they were?

I understand that Charlie created a YT-1300 Falcon (his "Falcon OXP" - no obvious mention of YT-1300 in his title), but perhaps this "skin" was by another?

Sorry, a few months too late for me to remember anything. It felt as Oosat2 became very chaotic with a boom of new modders, just as Giles stepping down was hitting hard. Not to mention vast, depressing amounts of spam.

But no, no memories connected to those names here.

The "Falcon" being referred to is the Millennium Falcon, a design from a movie called Star Wars which had a cult following at the time. The OXP had the player/pilot viewpoint offset to one side, mimicking the movie spaceship, which made the "Port View" screen practically useless.

The Falcon could be found on the expansion manager as well: viewtopic.php?p=274489&hilit=Falcon#p274489
