Neolite 1.1 has been uploaded to my box account. I've updated the http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Neolite_Ships with a link and some install notes for Simon's Neolite box page and also added an additional section with the download links and install notes for Neolite 1.1.
There has been an update to both the Neolite Addition and Replacement OXP's to version 1.1.1 - fixes a bug carried over from the original Neolite with referencing the boa and boa2's custom escape pod model.
Also some time ago I updated the Wolfies readme to note that the ships were based on Wolfwood's original work.

I'm sorry to be a numpty, but I can't help it. Am I right in thinking some of the links on the wiki are wrong and pointing at v1.1 for Addition and Replacement? And that the Downloads part of the page is both incorrect and incomplete?
Also, the Neolite_Core_Addition_1.1.1.zip download has two different Readme.rtf files in it but I can see one is the old v1.1 one. (Although why adding one line of text blows it from 2K to 37K is beyond my interest to comprehend.)
Also, the shipdata.list gives the incorrect missile_launch_position for neo_thargoid ships of 0.0 0.0 -20.5 rather than 0.0 -46.0 91.0 which I think may be the preferred value.
Also, does one install Neolite Companion and Neolite Wolfies in addition to the Core and Resources_A and Resources_B OXPs to get even more ships?

The Core Resources files is still at 1.1, but the addition and replacement files are at 1.1.1 - all the links are in the last section Neolite 1.1. The Downloads section links to Simon's original host (which is down) and his Box Account which has got the original Neolite 1.0 files. I'll update the wiki to make that a bit clearer.
The 1.1 versions of Wolfies and Companion are full stand alone OXPs - they don't need the Core Resources to be installed if you are not using the Core Set.
The different readme versions is me being a numpty - I've double checked shipdata.plist and it has got the update. The bloat of the readme it what happens when you migrate from OpenOffice to Microsoft Office 2010.... (but I did get MS Office 2010 Professional for £9 via work).
Re 'bugs' I haven't fixed anything that's not 'properly' broken. You'll notice nothing has got a scoop position defined in Neolite for example - it doesn't seem to cause any problem for scooping though whether as a player or an NPC. I think the core game code still fixes bad missile launch positions on the fly so that's been left as it.

It just results in warning messages in the Latest.log unless the missile launch position is changed. I have been ignoring it but just lately I have been on a mission to diagnose and highlight every warning and error that comes up.

Hmmh, is there a way to reach Simon? I pm'd but got no answer so far. I'd like to work/update/fix his alternative r²dux ubertharg. In the diffuse he writes it's cc-sa but I'd like to ask him if it's for him, if I mess with it

SimonB is quite active in Google+. You can find a link to his account from his signature.
too bad... what happened to good old email, now you have to sell your entire life before to communicate. Sorry for being old fashioned.
Anyway, I think I'll rather work on something else and cancel the ubertharg for now.
