Great to see you again, Solo! How are you on the health front?

I can hardly believe that no one has said it yet
but these look really good
That monitor in particular...
Random hull colouring on the neolites (or at least this batch of them) will be fantastic

I'm still play-testing the ships, but loving the game on my new rig too much at times. That and enjoying the outdoors while it is still summer. This expansion pack will not conflict with Spara's.

Very nice ships. Could you add the pics of your Chameleon, Ophidian, Monitor, Bushmaster Miner, Ghaial, Iguana also in the gallery of custom paint jobs on the ships pages on the Wiki themselves? In that case they could back link to the page of your oxp's I can do it also so if you want that just say so.
Example of the wiki page of the Chameleon with the custom paint job gallery.

I'm encountering an error when trying to download this from the manager. It counts up to 15.77 of 15.88, then fails. Repeated attempts give the same result.
Relevant entries from latest.log:
Code: Select all
23:00:49.328 [startup.complete]: ========== Loading complete in 4.07 seconds. ==========
23:01:22.852 [plist.parse.failed]: Failed to parse /home/shacklestein/GNUstep/Library/Caches/org.aegidian.oolite/Oolite-download.oxz/manifest.plist as a property list.
Parse failed at line 13 (char 474) - unexpected character (wanted '=')
23:01:22.852 [oxz.manager.error]: Downloaded OXZ does not contain a manifest.plist, has been left in /home/shacklestein/GNUstep/Library/Caches/org.aegidian.oolite/Oolite-download.oxz
23:01:43.476 [exit.context]: Exiting: Exit Game selected on start screen.
It looks like what's been dumped in Library/Cache is the complete OXZ, so I could probably just toss that into my AddOns as-is, but that fixes nothing for the next guy – or gal – wanting to use it…

I found the problem. There is an extra line in the manifest.plist that is causing an error. I pasted the download URL in there for reference purposes and failed to remove it. Fixing it now and re-uploading.
Edited to add: Fix confirmed.

And double confirmed. Also, apart from the manifest, identical to the one in Cache. A useful snippet of knowledge that.
