[RELEASE] FE Ships
Posted: Wed Nov 11, 2020 7:19 am
FE Ships transforms the core Oolite ships into their Frontier First Encounters equivalents. The result: Larger hull-capacities and an altered speed-scale across the board.
Here's the breakdown:
FE Ships will, above all, be of benefit to traders and explorers, since Frontier and First Encounters increased the cargo capacity of all the original Elite ships.
For example, the Adder FE can boast a base 15 TC cargo hold, expandable to 30 TC with Oolite's cargo-bay extension. You will find this enhancement with FE ships across the board, including the now playable Gecko, Krait, Mamba, Sidewinder and Vipers.
To fly the new lightweight ships, you will need to install FE Ships Player alongside FE Ships.
For the full FE experience, use Normal Start and sell your Cobra III pronto!
At Lave, you will find available the Gecko, Krait, Sidewinder, Adder, and Cobra I. All will have the 'FE' suffix in-game.
Recommended upgrade paths for FE Ships Player:
Hunter: Gecko, Krait, Sidewinder, Mamba, Fer-de-Lance, Viper.
Trader: Gecko, Krait, Adder, Cobra I, Cobra III, Asp Explorer, and onward...
Geckos, Kraits, and Sidewinders have no docking computers, no military upgrades, no extra cargo holds. Their successful operation will prove a challenge. Enjoy!
FE Ships and FE Ships Player are downloadable in OXZ format from the Oolite Wiki as well as through Oolite's in-game Expansion Pack Manager.
Finally, my sincere thanks to all who helped me get this - my first release - into a playable state, especially another_commander, montana05, dybal, and Commander_X.
