Oolite Bulletins

Take a look at some of Capt. Solo's ships - use the OXP table and sort by author to group them. They have a distinctive style of their own but are not a million miles from mine and are all very nice.

<nods> The  Copperhead is a very cool ship.

Oh yes. I had forgotten those. They'll fit in nicely.

Wooo! I just discovered the marvels of camera drones and the beauty of neolite and re2dux ships!

They do provide some great camera angles for photoshoots. I was asked to post this elsewhere, so I thought why not here too.

Now that is some seriously cool detail work!

woah I put way too many grime & dirt texture layers into that ship, the file would take about 5 mins to load into the computer and when it had done so, it would be another few minutes watching it draw itself on the screen as a series of tiny tiles about 3 cms square before it would let me work on it! I couldn't merge all the layers together for some reason without it freaking out, i ended up with about 200

Nice pics everyone. @ Spara. I would like to see an updated X-ships OXP so yes please

After fiddling with those emission maps I just could not stop and started to create hires updates in the spirit of Smivs' shipset. I'll post a preview pic, when I have finished the Cobra 2x.

Wow! Huge thanks to all these selfless souls who pour their efforts into making Oolite look as good as it plays! Be blessed!

Here's my hires reskin of Aegidian's Cobra mk II (from x-ships) following closely the original design. Ship's name is still missing .

Coo!. How many ships are left in the set? They fit also nicely with the Smivs Shipset.

Yes, they will match Smivs' ships nicely. There are four ships in the x-ships oxp: Asp mk2 special, Cobra mk2, Python ET Special and Sidewinder Special. Cobra is now updated, so only three to go . I'm also planning on including Mussurana from Aegidians specials. Let's see how far I get with this project.

Looking nice

You could make a look and feel page on the Wiki where you list out OXPs that match your ships look and feel. Would be a great help for those who want a consistent universe. I know it's a subjective thing and very much down to taste, but if you use a few pictures, it would give the player an idea of where to look.

Would of course be great to have similar pages for the other ship sets as well (Griff ships, Simon B ships and so on).
