Illicit Unlock

[phkb]

It's been 10 years and 1 day since the last update for Illicit Unlock was released, so it seemed appropriate to do an update. Illicit Unlock give you the ability to purchase some of the non-player ships in the core game - the Gecko, Krait, Mamba, Sidewinder, Constrictor and GalCop Vipers. Most of these ships don't have a hyperdrive, however, so they'll be a challenge to fly around.

Available via the download manager, or via this link: IllicitUnlock.oxz.

Fly safe, commanders!

Just a quick update for this to include Mamba Escorts, Shuttles, Transporters, Mining Transporters, Worms and Worm Miners in the mix, which I think covers all the ships in core. Version 2.2 available for download now.

Thank you

I seldom change ship, but I like a lot to go to the dealer on each station to see what is available. It's entertaining and often beautiful. Some variety can only improve the experience.

Hi!!!
Has anyone ever bought a "constrictor" ???
is it worth the price you have to pay?
Thanks!

[Norby]

If you wanna left behind Viper Interceptors in a core ship then yes, Constrictor is the fastest and best standard ship in combat.

If you just want the best speed in an ubership then try [wiki]WonderWorm[/wiki].

There is an even faster oxp ship in [wiki]RocketShips[/wiki]: the illicit unlocked escape pod, named to Uber Pod which really incredible: it slam into the planet in 5 seconds after undock if you not pull up instantly! Moreover reach the Sun using Torus in 3 seconds. It is a joke ship, but playable.

The Constrictor is a really cool ship to fly - worth every penny!

(Very) belated thanks for updating this phkb.

I love having the non-hyprdrive ships available for purchase

Hi!
i'm very pleased with my boa 2 class cruiser, but i'm thinking of buying a new ship in the future. I'd prefer a core game ship.
If there is a better ship than boa 2 class cruiser , it may be "the constrictor".
I don't know if this is a question that should be answered but i'd like to know about its "classified characteristics" (cargo capacity, energy banks.....) and any hint of where to find it.
it is a really very expensive ship!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!!!

[Cody]

Unless Illicit Unlock changes stuff, I think the Constrictor can carry [classified] of cargo - not suitable for a trader.
It's compact and very fast - perfect for a courier!

[phkb]

I think the Constrictor can only carry 15TC of cargo - not suitable for a trader.

Confirmed. But now, because this information is classified, this post will self-destruct in 5 seconds....

Click. Boom.

[javirodriguez]

This information is no longer "classified", i've just seen it on elite wiki!!!

[Norby]

any hint of where to find it

If you also would like to learn a bit about how Oolite is built then a hint is that many information is in readable text files deep inside the game folders, including what you are looking for. Another hint is that [wiki]OXP howto[/wiki] describe the structure of these files.

Hi!
i managed to get a "constrictor" but the price is not right, It's too cheap!!!!!!
It must be a mistake.

[phkb]

What price did you get it for?

Edit to add: Oooh, right. Yeah. Sorry. Another zero needed on that price, actually.

Aaand version 2.3 now available, comes free with even more realism!

[javirodriguez]

The price is now right, although i think that it should be even more expensive. On the other hand, it is too hard to come by, it should be easier to find!!!
I'm putting "constrictor" to the test, this ship is really good.
There are some issues with some equipment that i'll tell at some other time!!!
Thanks!!!!!
