This is the first of my OXPs to break through the 300 download milestone so I'm very pleased to see it being well received.

Cool! How is the

Escape Pod OXP selling?

Cool. I still think the ship ought to be updated to include the engine jets though...?

Hi Cody the Escape pod OXP is currently at 226 downloads so is doing well also.

I have carried out some updating of this OXP which includes the repositioning of the rear laser as previously identified by Knotty.

I have also added a shader effect for the engine glow so that the engines get brighter as the ship increases speed.

It wasn't my intention to add exhausts as suggested by JazHaz however I'd be interested to know what the common consensus is on this option.

Cool. Has the OXP been updated on box.com? Do I just copy over the OXP or do I need to redo my player version, as I still fly the ship? Or is the player ship oxp "like_shipped" to the NPC version so the laser changes will copy over?

I've flown this ship since before the release of v1.77, so I haven't seen the new particle effect exhaust on my main commander (which is a shame). I wouldn't generally see the engine glows as I don't fly the ship viewing the ship on external views.

@ JazHaz thanks for getting back to me on this.

No I haven't issued the new version on box yet. I will issue the Aarachnid Mark 1 next week then move on to update the Serpent.

I will also look in to your query regarding the player versions and advise

I'll also have a look at the Serpent with exhausts.

I've been somewhat busy with real life over the last few months but it feels good to finally get my teeth back in to working on OXPs.

Following the release of the Arachnid Mark 1 earlier this week I've been looking at this OXP with a couple of updates in mind including investigating how the ship looks with exhausts.

Following these initial tests I must agree that the addition of exhausts looks good (So will be included in the next update).

Good news! And the rear laser will be adjusted too?

Shipbuilder · Post by **Shipbuilder** » Fri Oct 11, 2013 12:27 pm

Yes the rear laser has already been adjusted (So will be included in the next release).

Version 1.01 of the Serpent Class Cruiser is now available for download here - EDIT Version 1.02 now released.

Further information can be found on the ship’s Wiki page by following the link in my signature strip below.

The updated version corrects the position of the rear laser and also features exhaust plumes.

I hope that you all enjoy

Great! Downloading now....!

Hope I have updated my player ship (separate OXP) properly. Had to re-edit the shipdata.plist because you changed the format. Too late at night to test though...

Loving the S C C I do think it is a bit cheap to purchase in V 1.01 though.

From the shipyard plist

price = 10;

@ Jazhaz let me know if you have any problems and I'll see what I can do to help.

@ Duggan Thanks for spotting and reporting this I've corrected this and uploaded version V1.02.

Version V1.02 can be downloaded by following the link in the first post or alternatively by visiting my Wiki page by following the link in my signature strip below.

A trifling bug report that may refer to this ship.

12:24:32.254 [script.load.notFound]: ***** ERROR: Could not find script file serpent_death_script_pirate.js.
12:24:33.051 [script.load.notFound]: ***** ERROR: Could not find script file serpent_death_script_pirate.js.

It seems to have no bearing at all on my game play but thought I should mention it anyway
