Oolite Bulletins

The MT1040Shurken was designed with three roles in mind. First, it can be used as a trader, though it only carries 15 tons. More so, it was envissioned as an escort ship, with a high end speed of .450LM, and relatively quick response to excelleration, pitch, and roll. The third role, out of a desire to present the Gal Navy with a stealth ship, is it's apex. The Shurken-ninja is an answer to the Assasines Guild, and some of their not so legal "jobs". However, it is not only aimed at the Assasins Guild, as it is well known that the law enforcers of the Galaxy require their own "Hit Men", now and then. Only the Shurken-ninja has a cloak, but there are no blue lights to advertise itself when it drops the cloak. Also, only the Shuriken-ninga comes standard with Military Lasers, and Naval Shield Booster. All three versions are quite capable craft. I sure had fun testing them. Stats:

max_flight_speed = .450LM
max_energy = 370
energy_recharge_rate = 3.7
max_flight_pitch = 1.2
max_flight_pitch = 1.6
max_missiles = 4
thrust = 45

I like your Shuriken better than mine, Mandoman. I released it in a combo set called, "Solo's Silver Ships". No worries.

I'm sorry, CaptSolo. I didn't check close enough on the name, I guess. I'll get it changed to something else. Many apologies.

CaptSolo, will this change be acceptable? I very sorry I infringed on your Shuriken.

I'm sorry I mentioned it. Yes, it is more than acceptable, Mandoman.

No problem. That's great. I just didn't dig deep enough into the ship oxps to make sure.

Found an error in the Shurken-escort, model = "mt104shurken.dat", and it should have read, model = "mt1040shurken.dat". Missing the zero at the end of mt1040. It's fixed, and the updated link is posted, and will be up soon on the the Wiki.
