I remember when they were selling off old Mustang airframes for $149, moins the Packard Merlin, and a school-friend and I sat scratching our heads wondering how we could buy one, and how much it would cost us to ship it over to England, and where we would put it... ...and no, it never happened... ...our parents just didn't seem to be very keen.. :o
Very funny, Scotty, now beam down my clothes...

Can anyone tell me if NPC ships can have a heat insulation value of greater than 2.0 or is it capped at 2.0?

NPC ships can have any heat insulation value. 12.5 is sufficient to survive indefinitely just above the star's surface (except in nova systems)

Thanks cim - That's very useful information for my next OXP that I plan to begin development of once the GalTech Escort Fighter is released.

More info to follow in the next few days.

This little "bugger" would make a great looking ship I think...

Griff's Elite Bug isn't golden... but it looks quite 'bug-like'!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Thanks guys.

I'm quite looking forward to getting my teeth in to this one.

Further to some help and advice I received from both Griff and Thargoid I will be including shader effects in this OXP (But I will also provide a full emission map for those who can’t run shaders).

I thought that I would posts some screenshots showing current progress from a test version of my latest ship OXP, the Arachnid Mark 1, which is intended to be similar in specification to a Cobra Mark 3.

I still have a little work to do on this one but it's not too far off now :D
