Oolite Bulletins

By request, I release this ship, the Petra. It is a guitar, made to act like a ship. After much testing, I came up with the energy ratings listed below, and I must say that I was hard pressed to survive the several dog fights I put it through. No offense intended, but I will not answer any posts made in this topic, as I just seem to get into trouble when I do so. Hope at least some will enjoy it. I sure have.

Specs.:

Max Speed = 380
Max Energy = 400
Energy Recharge Rate = 4.5
Thrust = 35
Max Cargo = 30 tons

Note: The pictures in this release are essentially the very ship in the .oxp, I just changed the paint scheme slightly. I doubt many of you will see the difference. Also, there are a couple more pic of it in my Mandotech Ind. thread.

Huzzah!

Thanks for the release, when I saw the pics in the Mandotech thread I knew I had to have it.
You weren't joking about the length but she flies just fine.

I'm not normally one for high concept ships like the Petra but the chance to pilot a flying V guitar spaceship cannot be refused.

SBP: *is very happy*

Thanks again dude!

Edit: Dude, omg the fretboard marker lights are pure win!

Oh, this is so getting a role in my Oofic!

I'm glad that it doesn't resemble a rubber chicken, anyway. Glad you like it.

Thanks Mandoman for releasing Petra!

Got to be Hotblack Desiato's ship!
Thanks!

Hehe, that is so cool, any chance on a stratocaster?

Why do I suddenly feel the need to put on some Hawkwind followed by ACDC?

Hah, I've been flying around in this listening to an all AC/DC station on itunes.

This ship rocks! \,,/ (>.<) \,,/

Slight revision, guys. Latest.log just now decided to point out that there is no petra-roque.png texture. Sure enough, I stupidly have that texture in the .jpeg format. I have corrected that little problem, so the link above has the revised version. Sorry for the hassle.
