<div>[[File:Convoy.png|right|frame|The Convoy formation avoids surprises on the spacelane by placing a fighter group fore and aft of the leader]]<br />
Adds sizeable numbers of traders/pirates travelling in formation to your game.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
Escort Formations adds 19 extra escort formations to the game, which will be used by traders and pirates, and can be used by other ships.<br />
<br />
The escort formations are divided into two categories - '''offensive''' formations, usually used by pirates to give a strong attack or to hide their strength - and '''defensive''' formations, usually used by traders to give good scanner coverage and avoid pirate ambushes.<br />
<br />
As this breaks up both trader and pirate formations, it can make it slightly more difficult to tell the difference between traders and pirates on the spacelane.<br />
<br />
==Download==<br />
[https://cim.sotl.org.uk/games/files/oolite/Escort_Formations_1.1.oxz Escort Formations 1.1] is the latest version. Install to your AddOns folder in the usual way.<br />
<br />
==Technical details==<br />
Only ships with a primary role of ''trader'', ''pirate'', ''hunter'' or ''police'' (from the core game) or ''bigTrader'', ''liner'', ''coachwhip'' or ''fuelship'' (from OXPs) will normally be affected by this OXP, and only those ships which are spawned with escorts. Ships which already have their own custom escort formation will not be affected, and some of the remaining eligible ships will keep the standard escort formation.<br />
<br />
You can apply the escort formations defined by this OXP to your own ships with other roles by using the following functions:<br />
To assign a random offensive formation to a different ship, suited to its escort count<br />
worldScripts["Escort Formations Randomiser"].$setupOffensiveEscorts(ship);<br />
<br />
To assign a random defensive formation to a different ship, suited to its escort count<br />
worldScripts["Escort Formations Randomiser"].$setupDefensiveEscorts(ship);<br />
<br />
To assign a specific formation to a ship<br />
worldScripts["Escort Formations Randomiser"].$setupEscortFormation(ship,formation);<br />
<br />
25% of convoys keep the classic V-shape. About a third of the remainder will get "vform" which looks very similar to classic up to 4 escorts, though is distinguishable at 6.<br />
<br />
''formation'' is the name of the formation. The 19 formations available in version 1.1 are:<br />
[[File:EscortFormationsArrowhead.png|thumb|right|345px|The Arrowhead formation provides heavy firepower on the initial attack]]<br />
* arrowhead<br />
* bulge<br />
* combat-spread<br />
* convoy<br />
* echelon<br />
* flank<br />
* helix<br />
* near-far<br />
* octahedron<br />
* opencolumn<br />
* planebox<br />
* pyramid<br />
* scouting-spread<br />
* screen<br />
* trail<br />
* twistbox<br />
* vform<br />
* vwide<br />
* wave<br />
If an unrecognised formation name is given, "vform" will be applied, which is similar, though not identical, to the standard escort formation.<br />
<br />
==Change log==<br />
1.1: Add eight more formations, include some common OXP trader-like roles in the list.<br />
<br />
1.0: Initial public release<br />
<br />
==Links==<br />
*[[Convoys]] also affects the mechanics/behaviour of the convoy ships: Freighters can fly in much larger groups, and introduces better-equipped convoy leaders (worth high bounties if piratical).<br />
*Convoy leaders without bounty label - as convoys, but more realistic (and more dangerous!)<br />
:Each of the above contain an update for this elderly OXP to include the newer AI's which came in with Oolite v.1.80<br />
*[[Freighter Convoys]] - ambience rather than mechanics (no major changes to AI)<br />

<div>:''This page is about the humanoid personage, Murgh the Munificent. For the ordinary admin Murgh, see [[User_talk:Murgh]]''<br />
[[File:Trumblebox-blackBG.png||thumb|right|200px|Though not responsible for the organism's appalling rate of reproduction, the young Murgh did craft the obscenely cute gaze of this inauspicious and undesired mascot.]]<br />
'''Murgh''', an oldtimer of the first wave of the Oolite era who briefly showed traits of intense and profligate industry, before he suddenly vanished into the soupy fog of a distant nebula. <br />
<br />
Initially scouted from the factory floor of [[GenFun]] by the august benefactor [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]], who saw beyond the excessive exuberance of the young sycophant and took notice of his sickly cute shaping of the latest genetic modifications of the [[Trumble]] menace. He was taken from obscurity and given the means to try his hand on material construction in a few diverse fields. A brief but chaotic reign running the [[Murgh Shipyards]] saw the construction of several ships and stations, as well as running a space-taxi service and an advertising firm on the side, with varying success. <br />
<br />
Perhaps fundamentally unsuited to the pressures of such widespread consumer demands, his career came to a sudden halt in the middle of the production of a new announced [[Racers|racing league]], as shoddy work was found strewn about, dumbfounded investors left empty-handed, and the supposed creator nowhere to be found. <br />
[[File:DisoB2 LS.png |thumb|right|520px|Diso B2 Station, once "a first" with optimism, now a derelict outpost in a mass-lock maze with a permanently crashed market, though surrounded by a kaleidoscopic nebulae tapestry.]]<br />
<br />
Decades since, accounts of a creature going by the name of '''Old Murgh''' indicate this may be the same individual having made a diametric occupational shift. Presently be located somewhere in the [[Sector1/Teveri|Teveri]] system, trading wine and other evil juices and describing himself as a humble wine-wallah, he consults patrons on complementing grubs and exotic foods with [[Sector1/Ribilebi|Ribilebian]] burgundies, [[Sector1/Ditiza|Ditizaian]] sherries, and [[Sector1/Leesti|Leestiian]] tokays, for a fee. <br />
<br />
==Station constructions==<br />
[[File:Globestation2.png|thumb|left|200px|The ill-conceived Globe station.]]<br />
Irresponsibly toying with implementing alternate shapes to the classic [[Coriolis Station (Oolite)|cuboctahedral Coriolis]], the [[Dodecahedron Station (Oolite)|Dodecahedron]] and the [[Icosahedron Station (Oolite)|Icosahedron]], Murgh found funding to go ahead with the construction of a beveled octahedron B2 prototype at [[Sector1/Diso|Diso]]. As the money and enthusiasm dissipated, no further such stations were ever built.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Oolite-torusLS.jpg|thumb|right|340px|The seminal Torus station at Onrira, before refurbishment. Initial designs proved hazardous as the construction was prone to spontaneously burst into a swarm of its constituent cells.]]<br />
Consumed by egocentricity, Murgh's only response to this failure was to steam forward in a yet grander scale. The [[Globe station]] was promptly constructed, but also this project failed to capture the imagination of the public. Possibly due to the station bearing little distinguishable difference to a common planetary body, no further stations were ordered. A huge financial blow to Murgh Industries, spiteful tongues have for unknown reasons referred to the Globe station as a "death star".<br />
<br />
Deep in a funk following repeated failure, Murgh happened upon a rare stroke of genius with the construction of the [[Torus station]]. Drawing inspiration from ancient cinema of unknown origin, this station was impressive to behold, but its true brilliance was found in the inexpensive nature of construction. Small modular pods were fabricated separately and programmed to auto-join, making the assembly phase the cheapest and safest station construction in the business. The triumph was short-lived however, as the tori proved equally easy to disassemble, causing mass casualties, obviously negating the previously set safety records. Upon foreclosure of Murgh Industries, other companies amended these issues, and the design may occasionally be seen in planetary systems. <br />
<br />
[[file:droidship_s1.png|thumb|left|320px|Ad droidships was the preferred medium of Murgh's advertising firm.]] <br />
==Advertising==<br />
Already proven inclined to opt for profit while untroubled by conscience, the lure of the advertising racked proved irresistible to the young Murgh. Before the construction of a sizeable a fleet of advertising droidships was even finished, the newly formed promotion agency Murgh PR had landed contracts from a wide array of fields, ranging from the arms industry to the most questionable of all health sectors, the fungal cure alternative medicine. <br />
<br />
Public announcement campaigns on behalf of the [[GalCop (Police)|GalCop police authority]] were initially cause for optimism, and after wooing Hatchling CEO Ludo Van Der Budenmayer, Murgh PR secured the campaign to launch the highly anticipated luxury speed ship [[BoyRacer]], which in resulted in euphoria, though prematurely. The joy quickly transformed to dread with the subsequent scandal in the wake of numerous tragic accidents as BoyRacers were revealed to come equipped with subpar automated steering. The unusually gruesome nature of these accidents made the affair a PR nightmare, leaving even PR firms such as Murgh's with no favourable solutions. The lineup of wealthy plaintiff ensured the demise of Hatchling, and Murgh PR was nearly caught in the wave of bankruptcies that ensued. <br />
<br />
[[File:OOAdsplash2.jpg|right|thumb|600px|The so-called advert hall of fame, showcasing campaigns that all went unrecognised at awards ceremonies.]]<br />
Though pulling in some revenue for a limited time, the Murgh ad firm was tainted. At advertisement awards ceremonies, the firm garnered precisely zero awards, and in an industry so dependent on laurels and the steady flow of fumes up one's rear by one's peers and rivals, the days of this venture, too, was numbered.<br />
<br />
[[File:Murgh WPB 2004.png|thumb|right|200px|Murgh's submitted blueprint model for the announced Witchspace Point beacon contract which was ultimately rejected.]]<br />
==Ship construction==<br />
===Nascent career===<br />
Despite all side gigs, Murgh yearned most to be a respected shipbuilder, to become a personage first and foremost associated with the vessels that make possible the noble act of interstellar navigation, the finest starcraft, synonymous with safety, innovation and style. As with many such dreams, these were not remotely anchored in reality. <br />
<br />
[[File:AuldLaveBeacon.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The initial ridiculous Murgh proposal for a Witchspace beacon.]]Murgh first dared to dream when the magnificent Aegidian suggested he turn his hand on building something of use, rather than designing hypercopulating vermin. Granted access to the inner circles of true industry, Murgh became elated when the venerable one appeared favourable to a suggestion of the new concept of placing a series of beacons at the [[witchspace]] convergence point. <br />
Mirthful, Murgh presented the elder with his blueprint for such a beacon, daring to dream that this time too, perhaps, his design would be chosen. It would not, a different path was chosen, but instead being gutted , Murgh found in himself an optimism, a path to honing his building skills, and one day, to make something of himself. <br />
[[File:InitialMoai1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moai moai] submission for the TOGY contract. It didn't turn out like this.]]<br />
[[File:TOGYmoai.png|thumb|right|320px|The moai located in the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard as it came to be in the end, crudely defaced and intentionally poorly lit.]]<br />
<br />
===First commission===<br />
Early on in the efforts of honing his abilities, the young Murgh received a commission for a spiritual memorial stone to contribute to the long-neglected [[Tionisla Orbital Graveyard]], whose foundation trust had recently come into some much-needed funds. With aplomb, Murgh sculpted an homage to the most ancient of navigators, the deadest of the dead, and submitted the work to the esteemed body of selectors. It was received with little comment, though it was remarked that the sculpture appeared to lack ears. It was nevertheless admitted to the body of monuments. Murgh outstayed his welcome, however, with unreasonable demands that the monument be given eternal spotlights, and the relationship with the TOGY board soon grew cold. The board had the last laugh, as the monument to date appears to orbit in perpetual obscurity. <br />
<br />
Some years later it became evident that this ill will was not forgotten, when Murgh approached the TOGY foundation with a proposal to populate the stellar necropolis with advertising droids, and was met with contemptuous scorn. An olive branch from Murgh PR in the form of a promotional campaign with an aim to appease did little to mend the relations, possibly due to the work suffering from spelling errors. <br />
<br />
[[File:Heirloom-splash.jpg|right|thumb|350px|An aggressive ad campaign made Murgh's frugal, rust-covered ships difficult to ignore.]]<br />
===Shipyard years===<br />
At long last, the young Murgh had some funds and as well as some investor confidence to establish his own construction facility. Murgh Shipyards was born. Casting his net again perhaps too widely, he began construction of ships of his own somewhat radical designs, while simultaneously recreating a series of designs once thought lost to posterity, and being of a mind never to waste perfectly useable material, he also set up a subdivision dedicated to restore derelict wrecks to adequate requirements within a margin of safety levels. His vision was to create ships for all manner of creatures, all manner of credit rating.<br />
<br />
The rollout of the [[Heirloom ships|Heirloom series]], the range of ships past their prime renovated to quite near spaceworthy standards, was a decisive success, in no small part aided by an aggressive advertisement campaign by Murgh PR. There was a niche in the market for implausibly cheap spacecraft, and plenty of spacefarers so desperate for interstellar mobility that they would disregard a moderate element of death hazard. Furthermore, to trade in one's newer spacecraft in order to claim the credit balance and then invest in other expensive equipment soon came into vogue, and having predicted this, Murgh was prematurely declared a genius. An auspicious run of good fortune followed, but predictably, it ended.<br />
<br />
==Decline and return==<br />
In the aftermath of the Racing League Scandal, Murgh's immediate withdrawal from public life seemed at first not unexpected, but as time passed, it became evident that Murgh had indeed utterly vanished and left no trace of whence to. Rumours of his final destiny circulated for a time, but as interest abated and new gossip caught the people's imagination, Murgh eventually became completely forgotten. <br />
<br />
Having neither self-immolated in his old shipyard's foundry, been spaced in a cargo container by a cartel of enraged investors, nor absconded with kinetic movement artist Hoola Bandoola to the lagune region of [[Sector1/Anxebiza|Anxebiza]] –as were the three most likely conclusions according to the bookmakers– but rather sought to redefine himself anew on the gastro-planet [[Sector1/Atriso|Atriso]], immersing himself the artisanal trades of exotic cookery and winecraft. Having left behind a world inherently steeped in conflict and struggle, he took to this new existence of harmony and comfort like a lobster to a kettle. <br />
[[File:Murgh22Blackdog.jpg|thumb|right|350px|The Zora Badú-comissioned Python "Blackdog" that reawakened the hunger within Old Murgh.]]<br />
<br />
Having attained mastery of this second path of life and a reputation akin to an influential sage under his false identity, Old Murgh, he had completed the reshaping of his destiny. Despite this life of pleasure and satisfaction, Old Murgh did not feel appropriately satisfied, and came to realise that he craved the turmoil and agony of his former existence. <br />
<br />
Destiny presented an opening, when Old Murgh's true identity was exposed by the high-profile, redoubtable bandit queen Zora Badú, who while evading the law near the suspended vineyards of Muzel, once again proved that she never forgets a face, and put to the old shipbuilder the choice between having his true identity slipped to the galactic press, or assemble for her a ship so she may continue her space-pirating way of life. <br />
<br />
Discovering that old trades are never completely forgotten, Old Murgh promptly restructured from parts a spacecraft in the antiquated Python "Blackdog" motif, and his inner yearnings became clear to him. While not particularly drawn to the sophisticated and impressively luscious [[PROHIP]]y trends that had so dominated shipbuilding fashion in the years since his departure, the passé abstract [[RELOP]]y style beckoned for him to return. <br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gecko-ship-art2.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The Gecko "dragonface" illustration that has inspired many decal versions.]]<br />
== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

<br />
== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*Three Old Murgh 2022 ships are tagged on: the [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]], motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor. The "Adder-start" supplements [[Anole]] and [[Adder Speedster]] are two somewhat inadequate ships (though not as poor as the Adder) that may –for the commander who bravely chooses the challenge of starting at the lowest rung– ease the transition toward owning a Cobra Mk.I.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Adder 2S, Anole, Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and the Xpat are experimental and should see some development as there are plans for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

*<small>Actual ship sightings should be visible in the game.</small>[[File:IronAssVol5Promo.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The routine ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' teaser poster of Volume 5.]]<br />
<br />
== Volume 5 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
The fifth volume, concisely titled '''Volume 5: ''Massives''''', does attempt just that, to focus on ships from the past of the colossal kind, –vessels on such a scale that rivals stations, and into which one may feel drawn to dock. <br />
<br />
Aegidian's [[Behemoth]] and his unreleased (by him at any rate) [[Jormundgand]] are natural top picks into such a collection, but here is also included [[User:ADCK|ADCK]]'s tight Navy carrier variation the [[ADCK's Behemoths|Behemoth 2]]. From Young Murgh's old archives the [[Leviathan]] completes the Naval mammoth presence, at last liberated from the obscurity of the old [[Military Fiasco]] mission. <br />
<br />
[[File:JC&tff.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Once again sharing their smooth magic in [[hOopy Casino]]s everywhere, [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]].]]<br />
The other outsized oddity brought to ferrous revival is the [[hOopy Casino]], here stripped of its later multi-game augmentations and remade primitive to again deal exclusively with the one game of hazard that grabs the imagination of the masses, hOopy Hazard, and again fill its hull with the musical score of the original, the haunting sounds of [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]]. <br />
<br />
One hulk makes its first appearance, the gargantuan generation ships [[Scrub]] which are united by culture in that they are operated by clans or families, are driven by an ethos to which the art of the trade, honour, and being constantly in motion is essential. Their patterns of migration are mysterious, and what it's all for is unknown, probably even to them. <br />
<br />
In that large dockables provide market opportunities, these ships do provide the option to move goods, but traders might find golden trades hard to come by. Naval carriers may purchase items of necessity but only at low prices and have nothing they are motivated to sell. Jormundgands may have markets of moderate interest, but the unpredictable Scrubs should be worth inspecting. hOopy Casinos do have the particular trait of housing patrons that are willing to pay over the odds for gemstones.<br />
<br />
In addition, there are included an array of small vessels that make up the respective entourages of these giants. There is a naval fighter fleet that is made up of the [[Viper (Oolite)|Navy Viper]], [[Asp (Oolite)|Navy Asp Mk.II]] and [[Asp-X|Navy Asp X]], [[Rattle Cutter|Navy Rattle Cutter]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Navy Cougar]] and exceedingly rare, the [[Constrictor (Oolite)|Navy Constrictor]].<br />
<br />
The civilian equivalent of defense ships are made up defending gnats for Jormundgands, tweaked rusty Adders for the Scrubs, and a fleet of hOopy Security Sidewinders for the casino ships, usually along with some AdDroid PR pushing presence.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one may realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been revised from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table compressed below.<br />

*Nearly all the core ships are from [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), and most of his OXP ships are his own creations; my only minor model additions are protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />

<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flasher coordinates on the core ships, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into these OXPs.<br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gecko-ship-art2.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The Gecko "dragonface" illustration that has inspired many decal versions.]]<br />
== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

<br />
== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*Three Old Murgh 2022 ships are tagged on: the [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]], motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor. The "Adder-start" supplements [[Anole]] and [[Adder Speedster]] are two somewhat inadequate ships (though not as poor as the Adder) that may –for the commander who bravely chooses the challenge of starting at the lowest rung– ease the transition toward owning a Cobra Mk.I.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Adder 2S, Anole, Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and the Xpat are experimental and should see some development as there are plans for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

*<small>Actual ship sightings should be visible in the game.</small>[[File:IronAssVol5Promo.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The routine ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' teaser poster of Volume 5.]]<br />
<br />
== Volume 5 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
The fifth volume, concisely titled '''Volume 5: ''Massives''''', does attempt just that, to focus on ships from the past of the colossal kind, –vessels on such a scale that rivals stations, and into which one may feel drawn to dock. <br />
<br />
Aegidian's [[Behemoth]] and his unreleased (by him at any rate) [[Jormundgand]] are natural top picks into such a collection, but here is also included [[User:ADCK|ADCK]]'s tight Navy carrier variation the [[ADCK's Behemoths|Behemoth 2]]. From Young Murgh's old archives the [[Leviathan]] completes the Naval mammoth presence, at last liberated from the obscurity of the old [[Military Fiasco]] mission. <br />
<br />
[[File:JC&tff.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Once again sharing their smooth magic in [[hOopy Casino]]s everywhere, [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]].]]<br />
The other outsized oddity brought to ferrous revival is the [[hOopy Casino]], here stripped of its later multi-game augmentations and remade primitive to again deal exclusively with the one game of hazard that grabs the imagination of the masses, hOopy Hazard, and again fill its hull with the musical score of the original, the haunting sounds of [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]]. <br />
<br />
One hulk makes its first appearance, the gargantuan generation ships [[Scrub]] which are united by culture in that they are operated by clans or families, are driven by an ethos to which the art of the trade, honour, and being constantly in motion is essential. Their patterns of migration are mysterious, and what it's all for is unknown, probably even to them. <br />
<br />
In that large dockables provide market opportunities, these ships do provide the option to move goods, but traders might find golden trades hard to come by. Naval carriers may purchase items of necessity but only at low prices and have nothing they are motivated to sell. Jormundgands may have markets of moderate interest, but the unpredictable Scrubs should be worth inspecting. hOopy Casinos do have the particular trait of housing patrons that are willing to pay over the odds for gemstones.<br />
<br />
In addition, there are included an array of small vessels that make up the respective entourages of these giants. There is a naval fighter fleet that is made up of the [[Viper (Oolite)|Navy Viper]], [[Asp (Oolite)|Navy Asp Mk.II]] and [[Asp-X|Navy Asp X]], [[Rattle Cutter|Navy Rattle Cutter]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Navy Cougar]] and exceedingly rare, the [[Constrictor (Oolite)|Navy Constrictor]].<br />
<br />
The civilian equivalent of defense ships are made up defending gnats for Jormundgands, tweaked rusty Adders for the Scrubs, and a fleet of hOopy Security Sidewinders for the casino ships, usually along with some AdDroid PR pushing presence.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one may realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been revised from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

==Acknowledgements==<br />
*Nearly all the core ships are from [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), and most of his OXP ships are his own creations; my only minor model additions are protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />
<br />
*[[User:ADCK|ADCK]] is the original creator of the Behemoth 2 model.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flasher coordinates on the core ships, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into these OXPs.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Griff|Griff]]'s lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here, as well as an adaptation of a Griff inner dock texture.<br />
<br />
*AI solutions and javascripting for the Vol.4 Cobra Clipper SAR was graciously provided by [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] who solved fundamental performance problems and improved upon the ship's behaviour in this author's absence. Additionally his code for the hOopy, Leviathan, Behemoth and bigshipsAI is the bedrock of Volume 5.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Spara|Spara]] is a co-author of the hOopy and Behemoth coding, [[User:Pmw57|Paul Wilkins]] has contributed to the hOopy coding, [[User:Thargoid|Thargoid]] is a co-author of the bigshipsAI, and further javascript rescue has been provided by [[User:phkb|phkb]], [[User:Montana05|Montana]] and [[User:Alnivel|Alnivel]].<br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gecko-ship-art2.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The Gecko "dragonface" illustration that has inspired many decal versions.]]<br />
== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

<br />
== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*Three Old Murgh 2022 ships are tagged on: the [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]], motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor. The "Adder-start" supplements [[Anole]] and [[Adder Speedster]] are two somewhat inadequate ships (though not as poor as the Adder) that may –for the commander who bravely chooses the challenge of starting at the lowest rung– ease the transition toward owning a Cobra Mk.I.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Adder 2S, Anole, Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and the Xpat are experimental and should see some development as there are plans for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

<br />
== Volume 5 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
The fifth volume, concisely titled '''Volume 5: ''Massives''''', does attempt just that, to focus on ships from the past of the colossal kind, –vessels on such a scale that rivals stations, and into which one may feel drawn to dock. <br />
<br />
Aegidian's [[Behemoth]] and his unreleased (by him at any rate) [[Jormundgand]] are natural top picks into such a collection, but here is also included [[User:ADCK|ADCK]]'s tight Navy carrier variation the [[ADCK's Behemoths|Behemoth 2]]. From Young Murgh's old archives the [[Leviathan]] completes the Naval mammoth presence, at last liberated from the obscurity of the old [[Military Fiasco]] mission. <br />
<br />
[[File:JC&tff.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Once again sharing their smooth magic in [[hOopy Casino]]s everywhere, [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]].]]<br />
The other outsized oddity brought to ferrous revival is the [[hOopy Casino]], here stripped of its later multi-game augmentations and remade primitive to again deal exclusively with the one game of hazard that grabs the imagination of the masses, hOopy Hazard, and again fill its hull with the musical score of the original, the haunting sounds of [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]]. <br />
<br />
One hulk makes its first appearance, the gargantuan generation ships [[Scrub]] which are united by culture in that they are operated by clans or families, are driven by an ethos to which the art of the trade, honour, and being constantly in motion is essential. Their patterns of migration are mysterious, and what it's all for is unknown, probably even to them. <br />
<br />
In that large dockables provide market opportunities, these ships do provide the option to move goods, but traders might find golden trades hard to come by. Naval carriers may purchase items of necessity but only at low prices and have nothing they are motivated to sell. Jormundgands may have markets of moderate interest, but the unpredictable Scrubs should be worth inspecting. hOopy Casinos do have the particular trait of housing patrons that are willing to pay over the odds for gemstones.<br />
<br />
In addition, there are included an array of small vessels that make up the respective entourages of these giants. There is a naval fighter fleet that is made up of the [[Viper (Oolite)|Navy Viper]], [[Asp (Oolite)|Navy Asp Mk.II]] and [[Asp-X|Navy Asp X]], [[Rattle Cutter|Navy Rattle Cutter]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Navy Cougar]] and exceedingly rare, the [[Constrictor (Oolite)|Navy Constrictor]].<br />
<br />
The civilian equivalent of defense ships are made up defending gnats for Jormundgands, tweaked rusty Adders for the Scrubs, and a fleet of hOopy Security Sidewinders for the casino ships, usually along with some AdDroid PR pushing presence.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one may realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been revised from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

*Nearly all the core ships are from [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), and most of his OXP ships are his own creations; my only minor model additions are protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />
<br />
*[[User:ADCK|ADCK]] is the original creator of the Behemoth 2 model.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flasher coordinates on the core ships, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into these OXPs.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Griff|Griff]]'s lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here, as well as an adaptation of a Griff inner dock texture.<br />
<br />
*AI solutions and javascripting for the Vol.4 Cobra Clipper SAR was graciously provided by [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] who solved fundamental performance problems and improved upon the ship's behaviour in this author's absence. Additionally his code for the hOopy, Leviathan, Behemoth and bigshipsAI is the bedrock of Volume 5.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Spara|Spara]] is a co-author of the hOopy and Behemoth coding, [[User:Pmw57|Paul Wilkins]] has contributed to the hOopy coding, [[User:Thargoid|Thargoid]] is a co-author of the bigshipsAI, and further javascript rescue has been provided by [[User:phkb|phkb]], [[User:Montana05|Montana]] and [[User:Alnivel|Alnivel]].<br />

The '''Adder 2S''' colloquially known as the '''Adder Speedster''' is a budget light transport ship with slight improvements upon the original [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]]. <br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
Forced into action from a position of unprepared market complacency, manufacturers Spalder and Prime realised instantly that they needed to respond to the threat to their market position that came with the introduction of the [[Anole]], immediately initiating the development and subsequent manufacture of their enhanced Adder issue, the 2S. Too quickly, some would say.<br />
<br />
== Notable features ==<br />
Stemming from no particular vision of concept beyond, "just make it faster than the snooking Anole!" the Adder Speedster does that and not much else. By way of conventional industrial espionage, the space conserving innovations introduced by the Anole were appropriated, allowing for significant improvements to the engine core with no sacrifice of what little space its predecessor could offer. Making [[Witch Fuel Injectors|fuel injection]] standard issue and improving marginally upon the ship's energy recharge rate, was deemed a sufficient progress cutoff for the next stage of the Adder series. <br />
[[File:IAadder2Sinsitu.jpg|thumb|left|360px|An Adder Speedster at top speed.]]<br />
Visually there is little to distinguish the 2S from its predecessor apart from the disproportionally large engine nozzles and the altered Speedster symbol.<br />

"We just made her purr like she always deserved", was the low-key company statement upon its launch, "our customers know what's important." What little was done was all that was needed, as the market reception was generally positive. A little extra speed was enough to satisfy a customer base not accustomed to being indulged, who found the modest price increase well acceptable for its rewards. Despite its minimal shielding protection, the model was judged sufficiently speedy for the low-end courier industry, and while still among the cheapest ships credits can buy, in short time the Speedster found broad favour among less affluent customers. <br />
<br />
While conceding the small-cargo ground to the Anole, it could be argued that this was never an Adder feature to begin with. While some customers might be lost to the practicality of "the little pickup ship", the strategy proved sound as a visible portion of the market would inevitably trade back their Anoles in favour of a Speedster.<br />

=== Overview ===<br />
Introduced in 3100 by [[Zorgon Petterson Group]], this is the ship that brought ZPG from being an unknown ship modifier to the household name in luxury but capable ships. Designed as an executive transport for company officials who preferred to fly themselves, the ship is moderately fast, well appointed and can be equipped with fearsome weaponry and defences to keep the assassins away.<br />
<br />
=== Notable features ===<br />
ZPG's now famous well designed and understated luxurious interior is the hallmark of this ship, and it's what keeps the ship selling year after year - even though the ship itself is decidedly average (or below average) in many other areas. Looking at the utility value of the ship as either a fighter or light trader (the cargo bay has enough room to carry 12 TC), it is extremely poor value for money at a base price of Cr. 485,000 when you consider the base price of the [[Cobra Mk.3 (Oolite)|Cobra Mk.III]], which is a much more capable trade or fighting ship, with the base model coming in at only Cr. 150,000.<br />
<br />
But buyers of the Fer-de-Lance are not interested in low end economy ships. The Fer-de-Lance buyer is looking at a different kind of value - engineering with no expense spared (inspect the equipment bays of a Fer-de-Lance and note how thoughtfully it has been laid out, and how the factory has gone to extra attention to de-burr all the parts leaving no sharp edges behind which catch your clothing) combined with a cabin that has been tastefully and luxuriously designed. They are not after showy 'bling' like the ratted out Cobra Mk.3 with chrome exhaust covers and 'Type R' stickers slapped on the back. Enter the bridge of the Fer-de-Lance and notice how well laid out the controls are on the [[Mega-Walnut_Dashboard_OXP|Walnut Dashboard]] - specially devised by the leading designers at [[Aegidian Industries]]. Dock a Fer-de-Lance and notice how the fuel scoop retraction system remains powered up for a few minutes in case you forgot to close it: do that in a Cobra and you'll have to go through a complete power-on sequence to get the scoop shut again. To the buyer of a Fer-de-Lance, the value is not being the fastest or the showiest; the value is a ship that's not seemingly built to cause the captain annoyance. A Fer-de-Lance owner is not a chav; a Fer-de-Lance owner has class.<br />
<br />
Much to ZPG's chagrin (at least in public), the ship has become a favorite amongst assassins. It is also occasionally seen in pirate hands.<br />
<br />
== Upgrades ==<br />
Fer de Lance equipment bays come prefitted with high quality, custom designed equipment. <br />
Fittings are standardised though, so one could -as a temporary fix- replace a piece of kit with an inferior product, naturally only when no FDL-dealer is available. <br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gecko-ship-art2.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The Gecko "dragonface" illustration that has inspired many decal versions.]]<br />
== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

<br />
== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*Three Old Murgh 2022 ships are tagged on: the [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]], motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor. The "Adder-start" supplements [[Anole]] and [[Adder Speedster]] are two somewhat inadequate ships (though not as poor as the Adder) that may –for the commander who bravely chooses the challenge of starting at the lowest rung– ease the transition toward owning a Cobra Mk.I.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Adder 2S, Anole, Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and the Xpat are experimental and should see some development as there are plans for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

*<small>Actual ship sightings should be visible in the game.</small>[[File:IronAssVol5Promo.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The routine ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' teaser poster of Volume 5.]]<br />
<br />
== Volume 5 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
The fifth volume, concisely titled '''Volume 5: ''Massives''''', does attempt just that, to focus on ships from the past of the colossal kind, –vessels on such a scale that rivals stations, and into which one may feel drawn to dock. <br />
<br />
Aegidian's [[Behemoth]] and his unreleased (by him at any rate) [[Jormundgand]] are natural top picks into such a collection, but here is also included [[User:ADCK|ADCK]]'s tight Navy carrier variation the [[ADCK's Behemoths|Behemoth 2]]. From Young Murgh's old archives the [[Leviathan]] completes the Naval mammoth presence, at last liberated from the obscurity of the old [[Military Fiasco]] mission. <br />
<br />
[[File:JC&tff.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Once again sharing their smooth magic in [[hOopy Casino]]s everywhere, [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]].]]<br />
The other outsized oddity brought to ferrous revival is the [[hOopy Casino]], here stripped of its later multi-game augmentations and remade primitive to again deal exclusively with the one game of hazard that grabs the imagination of the masses, hOopy Hazard, and again fill its hull with the musical score of the original, the haunting sounds of [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]]. <br />
<br />
One hulk makes its first appearance, the gargantuan generation ships [[Scrub]] which are united by culture in that they are operated by clans or families, are driven by an ethos to which the art of the trade, honour, and being constantly in motion is essential. Their patterns of migration are mysterious, and what it's all for is unknown, probably even to them. <br />
<br />
In that large dockables provide market opportunities, these ships do provide the option to move goods, but traders might find golden trades hard to come by. Naval carriers may purchase items of necessity but only at low prices and have nothing they are motivated to sell. Jormundgands may have markets of moderate interest, but the unpredictable Scrubs should be worth inspecting. hOopy Casinos do have the particular trait of housing patrons that are willing to pay over the odds for gemstones.<br />
<br />
In addition, there are included an array of small vessels that make up the respective entourages of these giants. There is a naval fighter fleet that is made up of the [[Viper (Oolite)|Navy Viper]], [[Asp (Oolite)|Navy Asp Mk.II]] and [[Asp-X|Navy Asp X]], [[Rattle Cutter|Navy Rattle Cutter]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Navy Cougar]] and exceedingly rare, the [[Constrictor (Oolite)|Navy Constrictor]].<br />
<br />
The civilian equivalent of defense ships are made up defending gnats for Jormundgands, tweaked rusty Adders for the Scrubs, and a fleet of hOopy Security Sidewinders for the casino ships, usually along with some AdDroid PR pushing presence.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one can realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been shifted from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

*Nearly all the core ships are from [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), and most of his OXP ships are his own creations; my only minor model additions are protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />

*[[User:ADCK|ADCK]] is the original creator of the Behemoth 2 model.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flasher coordinates on the core ships, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into these OXPs.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Griff|Griff]]'s lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here, as well as an adaptation of a Griff inner dock texture.<br />
<br />
*AI solutions and javascripting for the Vol.4 Cobra Clipper SAR was graciously provided by [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] who solved fundamental performance problems and improved upon the ship's behaviour in this author's absence. Additionally his code for the hOopy, Leviathan, Behemoth and bigshipsAI is the bedrock of Volume 5.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Spara|Spara]] is a co-author of the hOopy and Behemoth coding, [[User:Pmw57|Paul Wilkins]] has contributed to the hOopy coding, [[User:Thargoid|Thargoid]] is a co-author of the bigshipsAI, and further javascript rescue has been provided by [[User:phkb|phkb]], [[User:Montana05|Montana]] and [[User:Alnivel|Alnivel]].<br />

The '''Anole''' is a mediocre light transport vessel that fills a hole in the lower end of the hierarchy of ship stature. In an act of cynical market targeting, its manufacturers identified a gap in performance and retail pricing in-between the [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]] and the [[Cobra Mk.1 (Oolite)|Cobra Mk.1]] and sought to profit. The resulting craft is a low-cost ship that by design slightly outperforms the Adder but fails to eclipse Cobra Mk.1 standards.<br />
<br />
==Overview==<br />
On a lengthy drought without success, [[Murgh Shipyards]] desperately strived to produce a ship that could find a reliable market, and settled upon the low-end bracket. Having faced the fact that to produce a less expensive ship than the Adder would be economic suicide, the tier immediately above was decided upon. Providing an increase in cargo space was a natural progression, as were diminutive augmentations to speed performance. Keeping costs down would mean falling short of most Cobra Mk.1 specs, however, designers were able to implement a fixture for modest cargo bay expansion.<br />
<br />
[[File:IA anole-adder.jpg|thumb|left|360px|A staged affair showing an Anole moments before it overtakes a nominally inferior Adder.]]<br />
== Notable features ==<br />
The hull of the Anole is of slightly larger mass than the Adder's, while innovative solutions allow for improvements to the exploitation of cargo space and allocation of an engine with marginally higher output than the rival ship. The designers' chief source of self-satisfaction stems from the cargo space expansion solution, though the ship's detractors claim this is so negligible that they might not have bothered.<br />
<br />
==Unveiling==<br />
Upon the ship's introduction to the market, a staged event illustrated the very features that the manufacturers wanted to expose, placing the Adder in poor light as the Anole's slight superiority was showcased. Though little media attention was given such insignificant motion in the least esteemed tier of the ship manufacturing industry, a statement was made that defined the new order of hierarchy, quietly but widely noticed across the segment of microbusiness.<br />
<br />
Nor did the launch did not escape the notice of their immediate competitors, and it is believed the animosity generated and festered within the leadership of Adder manufacturers Spalder and Prime, motivated a record turnaround of the production of their response model, the [[Adder Speedster]]. <br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gecko-ship-art2.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The Gecko "dragonface" illustration that has inspired many decal versions.]]<br />
== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

<br />
== Volume 3 ==<br />

Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*Three Old Murgh 2022 ships are tagged on: the [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]], motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor. The "Adder-start" supplements [[Anole]] and [[Adder Speedster]] are two somewhat inadequate ships (though not as poor as the Adder) that may –for the commander who bravely chooses the challenge of starting at the lowest rung– ease the transition toward owning a Cobra Mk.I.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Adder 2S, Anole, Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and the Xpat are experimental and should see some development as there are plans for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

*<small>Actual ship sightings should be visible in the game.</small>[[File:IronAssVol5Promo.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The routine ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' teaser poster of Volume 5.]]<br />
<br />
== Volume 5 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
The fifth volume, concisely titled '''Volume 5: ''Massives''''', does attempt just that, to focus on ships from the past of the colossal kind, –vessels on such a scale that rivals stations, and into which one may feel drawn to dock. <br />
<br />
Aegidian's [[Behemoth]] and his unreleased (by him at any rate) [[Jormundgand]] are natural top picks into such a collection, but here is also included [[User:ADCK|ADCK]]'s tight Navy carrier variation the [[ADCK's Behemoths|Behemoth 2]]. From Young Murgh's old archives the [[Leviathan]] completes the Naval mammoth presence, at last liberated from the obscurity of the old [[Military Fiasco]] mission. <br />
<br />
[[File:JC&tff.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Once again sharing their smooth magic in [[hOopy Casino]]s everywhere, [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]].]]<br />
The other outsized oddity brought to ferrous revival is the [[hOopy Casino]], here stripped of its later multi-game augmentations and remade primitive to again deal exclusively with the one game of hazard that grabs the imagination of the masses, hOopy Hazard, and again fill its hull with the musical score of the original, the haunting sounds of [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]]. <br />
<br />
One hulk makes its first appearance, the gargantuan generation ships [[Scrub]] which are united by culture in that they are operated by clans or families, are driven by an ethos to which the art of the trade, honour, and being constantly in motion is essential. Their patterns of migration are mysterious, and what it's all for is unknown, probably even to them. <br />
<br />
In that large dockables provide market opportunities, these ships do provide the option to move goods, but traders might find golden trades hard to come by. Naval carriers may purchase items of necessity but only at low prices and have nothing they are motivated to sell. Jormundgands may have markets of moderate interest, but the unpredictable Scrubs should be worth inspecting. hOopy Casinos do have the particular trait of housing patrons that are willing to pay over the odds for gemstones.<br />
<br />
In addition, there are included an array of small vessels that make up the respective entourages of these giants. There is a naval fighter fleet that is made up of the [[Viper (Oolite)|Navy Viper]], [[Asp (Oolite)|Navy Asp Mk.II]] and [[Asp-X|Navy Asp X]], [[Rattle Cutter|Navy Rattle Cutter]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Navy Cougar]] and exceedingly rare, the [[Constrictor (Oolite)|Navy Constrictor]].<br />
<br />
The civilian equivalent of defense ships are made up defending gnats for Jormundgands, tweaked rusty Adders for the Scrubs, and a fleet of hOopy Security Sidewinders for the casino ships, usually along with some AdDroid PR pushing presence.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one can realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been shifted from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

==Acknowledgements==<br />
*Nearly all the core ships are from [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), and most of his OXP ships are his own creations; my only minor model additions are protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />
<br />
*[[User:ADCK|ADCK]] is the original creator of the Behemoth 2 model.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flasher coordinates on the core ships, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into these OXPs.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Griff|Griff]]'s lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here, as well as an adaptation of a Griff inner dock texture.<br />
<br />
*AI solutions and javascripting for the Vol.4 Cobra Clipper SAR was graciously provided by [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] who solved fundamental performance problems and improved upon the ship's behaviour in this author's absence. Additionally his code for the hOopy, Leviathan, Behemoth and bigshipsAI is the bedrock of Volume 5.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Spara|Spara]] is a co-author of the hOopy and Behemoth coding, [[User:Pmw57|Paul Wilkins]] has contributed to the hOopy coding, [[User:Thargoid|Thargoid]] is a co-author of the bigshipsAI, and further javascript rescue has been provided by [[User:phkb|phkb]], [[User:Montana05|Montana]] and [[User:Alnivel|Alnivel]].<br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />

Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

<br />
== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*The hitherto unreleased [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]] (2022) motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (in both SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and Xpat should see some development as there exist some ideas for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

*<small>Actual ship sightings should be visible in the game.</small>[[File:IronAssVol5Promo.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The routine ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' teaser poster of Volume 5.]]<br />
<br />
== Volume 5 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
The fifth volume, concisely titled '''Volume 5: ''Massives''''', does attempt just that, to focus on ships from the past of the colossal kind, –vessels on such a scale that rivals stations, and into which one may feel drawn to dock. <br />
<br />
Aegidian's [[Behemoth]] and his unreleased (by him at any rate) [[Jormundgand]] are natural top picks into such a collection, but here is also included [[User:ADCK|ADCK]]'s tight Navy carrier variation the [[ADCK's Behemoths|Behemoth 2]]. From Young Murgh's old archives the [[Leviathan]] completes the Naval mammoth presence, at last liberated from the obscurity of the old [[Military Fiasco]] mission. <br />
<br />
[[File:JC&tff.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Once again sharing their smooth magic in [[hOopy Casino]]s everywhere, [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]].]]<br />
The other outsized oddity brought to ferrous revival is the [[hOopy Casino]], here stripped of its later multi-game augmentations and remade primitive to again deal exclusively with the one game of hazard that grabs the imagination of the masses, hOopy Hazard, and again fill its hull with the musical score of the original, the haunting sounds of [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]]. <br />
<br />
One hulk makes its first appearance, the gargantuan generation ships [[Scrub]] which are united by culture in that they are operated by clans or families, are driven by an ethos to which the art of the trade, honour, and being constantly in motion is essential. Their patterns of migration are mysterious, and what it's all for is unknown, probably even to them. <br />
<br />
In that large dockables provide market opportunities, these ships do provide the option to move goods, but traders might find golden trades hard to come by. Naval carriers may purchase items of necessity but only at low prices and have nothing they are motivated to sell. Jormundgands may have markets of moderate interest, but the unpredictable Scrubs should be worth inspecting. hOopy Casinos do have the particular trait of housing patrons that are willing to pay over the odds for gemstones.<br />
<br />
In addition, there are included an array of small vessels that make up the respective entourages of these giants. There is a naval fighter fleet that is made up of the [[Viper (Oolite)|Navy Viper]], [[Asp (Oolite)|Navy Asp Mk.II]] and [[Asp-X|Navy Asp X]], [[Rattle Cutter|Navy Rattle Cutter]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Navy Cougar]] and exceedingly rare, the [[Constrictor (Oolite)|Navy Constrictor]].<br />
<br />
The civilian equivalent of defense ships are made up defending gnats for Jormundgands, tweaked rusty Adders for the Scrubs, and a fleet of hOopy Security Sidewinders for the casino ships, usually along with some AdDroid PR pushing presence.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one can realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been shifted from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

==Acknowledgements==<br />
*Nearly all the core ships are from [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), and most of his OXP ships are his own creations; my only minor model additions are protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />
<br />
*[[User:ADCK|ADCK]] is the original creator of the Behemoth 2 model.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flasher coordinates on the core ships, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into these OXPs.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Griff|Griff]]'s lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here, as well as an adaptation of a Griff inner dock texture.<br />
<br />
*AI solutions and javascripting for the Vol.4 Cobra Clipper SAR was graciously provided by [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] who solved fundamental performance problems and improved upon the ship's behaviour in this author's absence. Additionally his code for the hOopy, Leviathan, Behemoth and bigshipsAI is the bedrock of Volume 5.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Spara|Spara]] is a co-author of the hOopy and Behemoth coding, [[User:Pmw57|Paul Wilkins]] has contributed to the hOopy coding, [[User:Thargoid|Thargoid]] is a co-author of the bigshipsAI, and further javascript rescue has been provided by [[User:phkb|phkb]], [[User:Montana05|Montana]] and [[User:Alnivel|Alnivel]].<br />

The '''Scrub''', a [[Legends_of_Elite#Generation_ships|generation ship]], is a vessel of astounding enormity, though the impact of viewing it is compounded by comprehending the energy at work in the motion of the three immense triangular modules that grind in opposing directions. With its significant number of inhabitants, the Scrubbers, it is not so much a vessel as a nomadic settlement, always itinerant, as it is unfathomable to conceive that such a moving body in space could ever come to a halt.<br />
<br />
It is unknown how many Scrubs exist, nor is any great detail of inner Scrubber workings common knowledge, as reticence is central to their tight-knit culture, and outsiders very rarely join their inner fold, or even less frequently, withdraw to tell the tale.<br />
<br />
==Mechanics==<br />
It is speculated that the perpetual motion of the rotating components is a sufficient power source for the generation of energy, empowering all refining and life support functions to accomodate several hundred inhabitants. Though some outside resources are inevitably necessary, the overall design of the craft is deemed ingeniously efficient, allowing for unique levels of self-sufficiency.<br />
<br />
For visiting traders' purposes, the docking bay is located in the Scrub's rear, between the two engine nozzles. Among seasoned pilots it is technically considered one of the least demanding of vessels to dock with.<br />
<br />
==Defence==<br />
The Scrubs themselves exhibit no obvious means of defensive arsenal, but if need be, defensive craft are known be launched at an instant. Superficially, the Scrub defence is limited to [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]]s of poor standard, but this should not be underestimated as Scrub culture is known for its technical, resource-efficient innovation, and tenacity in execution of all they set out to do.<br />
[[File:IA scrubdock.jpg|thumb|left|420px|A Scrub, here believed to be that of Clan Saijonmaa, accepting a visit from a docking trader.]]<br />
==Culture==<br />
Inherent to the nomadic lifestyle in space where unfaltering collaboration and unhesitant sharing of limited resources is key, the Scrubber ship cultures appear to have several features in common. Trading is integral to their survival, and trade with outsiders –though on strict Scrubber terms– isn't uncommon, but it is internally between the various clans of Scrub Nation that the majority of trading activity is staged. As the clans themselves know best what is crucial to survival and how to attain it, the most highly prized commodities for trade are moved through in-culture dealings. Inordinately honour-bound and riddled with archaic rituals, the manner of which the Scrubbers conduct trading is their most renowned feature.<br />
<br />
The clans themselves function as extensions of families –though another of the few aspects widely known about Scrubbers is that they do not hold with freeloading passengers and every family member fulfils a useful occupation– so the line of distinction between crew and family is obscure, and it is presumed most Scrub crew members are to a high degree blood relatives. In fact, with the limited gene pool available in a considerable though limited amount of space, Scrub clan leadership need to maintain an infusion of fresh gene material, and an elaborate custom of arranged clan intermarriages is believed to be integral to the structure of alliances and trade agreements between the various Scrub factions.<br />
<br />
As evidenced by the constant occurrences of surnames of Finnish origin (i.e Clan Kirvesniemi, Clan Jääskeläinen, Clan Myllylä, Clan Kokkonen, Clan Saarinen, Clan Pohjola, and so on) the cultural roots and available gene pool may to begin with have evolved from sources of close proximity. While this could suggest that a patriotic loyalty exists across Scrub Nation as a whole, bad blood may certainly occur and certain clan feuds have famously been fostered for several generations.<br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gecko-ship-art2.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The Gecko "dragonface" illustration that has inspired many decal versions.]]<br />
== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

<br />
== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*The hitherto unreleased [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]] (2022) motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (in both SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and Xpat should see some development as there exist some ideas for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

*<small>Actual ship sightings should be visible in the game.</small>[[File:IronAssVol5Promo.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The routine ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' teaser poster of Volume 5.]]<br />
<br />
== Volume 5 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
The fifth volume, concisely titled '''Volume 5: ''Massives''''', does attempt just that, to focus on ships from the past of the colossal kind, –vessels on such a scale that rivals stations, and into which one may feel drawn to dock. <br />
<br />
Aegidian's [[Behemoth]] and his unreleased (by him at any rate) [[Jormundgand]] are natural top picks into such a collection, but here is also included [[User:ADCK|ADCK]]'s tight Navy carrier variation the [[ADCK's Behemoths|Behemoth 2]]. From Young Murgh's old archives the [[Leviathan]] completes the Naval mammoth presence, at last liberated from the obscurity of the old [[Military Fiasco]] mission. <br />
<br />
[[File:JC&tff.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Once again sharing their smooth magic in [[hOopy Casino]]s everywhere, [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]].]]<br />
The other outsized oddity brought to ferrous revival is the [[hOopy Casino]], here stripped of its later multi-game augmentations and remade primitive to again deal exclusively with the one game of hazard that grabs the imagination of the masses, hOopy Hazard, and again fill its hull with the musical score of the original, the haunting sounds of [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]]. <br />
<br />
One hulk makes its first appearance, the gargantuan generation ships [[Scrub]] which are united by culture in that they are operated by clans or families, are driven by an ethos to which the art of the trade, honour, and being constantly in motion is essential. Their patterns of migration are mysterious, and what it's all for is unknown, probably even to them. <br />
<br />
In that large dockables provide market opportunities, these ships do provide the option to move goods, but traders might find golden trades hard to come by. Naval carriers may purchase items of necessity but only at low prices and have nothing they are motivated to sell. Jormundgands may have markets of moderate interest, but the unpredictable Scrubs should be worth inspecting. hOopy Casinos do have the particular trait of housing patrons that are willing to pay over the odds for gemstones.<br />
<br />
In addition, there are included an array of small vessels that make up the respective entourages of these giants. There is a naval fighter fleet that is made up of the [[Viper (Oolite)|Navy Viper]], [[Asp (Oolite)|Navy Asp Mk.II]] and [[Asp-X|Navy Asp X]], [[Rattle Cutter|Navy Rattle Cutter]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Navy Cougar]] and exceedingly rare, the [[Constrictor (Oolite)|Navy Constrictor]].<br />
<br />
The civilian equivalent of defense ships are made up defending gnats for Jormundgands, tweaked rusty Adders for the Scrubs, and a fleet of hOopy Security Sidewinders for the casino ships, usually along with some AdDroid PR pushing presence.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one can realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been shifted from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

==Acknowledgements==<br />
*Nearly all the core ships are from [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), and most of his OXP ships are his own creations; my only minor model additions are protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />
<br />
*[[User:ADCK|ADCK]] is the original creator of the Behemoth 2 model.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flasher coordinates on the core ships, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into these OXPs.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Griff|Griff]]'s lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here, as well as an adaptation of a Griff inner dock texture.<br />
<br />
*AI solutions and javascripting for the Vol.4 Cobra Clipper SAR was graciously provided by [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] who solved fundamental performance problems and improved upon the ship's behaviour in this author's absence. Additionally his code for the hOopy, Leviathan, Behemoth and bigshipsAI is the bedrock of Volume 5.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Spara|Spara]] is a co-author of the hOopy and Behemoth coding, [[User:Pmw57|Paul Wilkins]] has contributed to the hOopy coding, [[User:Thargoid|Thargoid]] is a co-author of the bigshipsAI, and further javascript rescue has been provided by [[User:phkb|phkb]], [[User:Montana05|Montana]] and [[User:Alnivel|Alnivel]].<br />

[[File:Trumblebox-blackBG.png||thumb|right|200px|Though not responsible for the organism's appalling rate of reproduction, the young Murgh did craft the obscenely cute gaze of this inauspicious and undesired mascot.]]<br />
'''Murgh''', an oldtimer of the first wave of the Oolite era who briefly showed traits of intense and profligate industry, before he suddenly vanished into the soupy fog of a distant nebula. <br />
<br />
Initially scouted from the factory floor of [[GenFun]] by the august benefactor [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]], who saw beyond the excessive exuberance of the young sycophant and took notice of his sickly cute shaping of the latest genetic modifications of the [[Trumble]] menace. He was taken from obscurity and given the means to try his hand on material construction in a few diverse fields. A brief but chaotic reign running the [[Murgh Shipyards]] saw the construction of several ships and stations, as well as running a space-taxi service and an advertising firm on the side, with varying success. <br />
<br />
Perhaps fundamentally unsuited to the pressures of such widespread consumer demands, his career came to a sudden halt in the middle of the production of a new announced [[Racers|racing league]], as shoddy work was found strewn about, dumbfounded investors left empty-handed, and the supposed creator nowhere to be found. <br />
[[File:DisoB2 LS.png |thumb|right|520px|Diso B2 Station, once "a first" with optimism, now a derelict outpost in a mass-lock maze with a permanently crashed market, though surrounded by a kaleidoscopic nebulae tapestry.]]<br />
<br />
Decades since, accounts of a creature going by the name of '''Old Murgh''' indicate this may be the same individual having made a diametric occupational shift. Presently be located somewhere in the [[Sector1/Teveri|Teveri]] system, trading wine and other evil juices and describing himself as a humble wine-wallah, he consults patrons on complementing grubs and exotic foods with [[Sector1/Ribilebi|Ribilebian]] burgundies, [[Sector1/Ditiza|Ditizaian]] sherries, and [[Sector1/Leesti|Leestiian]] tokays, for a fee. <br />
<br />
==Station constructions==<br />
[[File:Globestation2.png|thumb|left|200px|The ill-conceived Globe station.]]<br />
Irresponsibly toying with implementing alternate shapes to the classic [[Coriolis Station (Oolite)|cuboctahedral Coriolis]], the [[Dodecahedron Station (Oolite)|Dodecahedron]] and the [[Icosahedron Station (Oolite)|Icosahedron]], Murgh found funding to go ahead with the construction of a beveled octahedron B2 prototype at [[Sector1/Diso|Diso]]. As the money and enthusiasm dissipated, no further such stations were ever built.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Oolite-torusLS.jpg|thumb|right|340px|The seminal Torus station at Onrira, before refurbishment. Initial designs proved hazardous as the construction was prone to spontaneously burst into a swarm of its constituent cells.]]<br />
Consumed by egocentricity, Murgh's only response to this failure was to steam forward in a yet grander scale. The [[Globe station]] was promptly constructed, but also this project failed to capture the imagination of the public. Possibly due to the station bearing little distinguishable difference to a common planetary body, no further stations were ordered. A huge financial blow to Murgh Industries, spiteful tongues have for unknown reasons referred to the Globe station as a "death star".<br />
<br />
Deep in a funk following repeated failure, Murgh happened upon a rare stroke of genius with the construction of the [[Torus station]]. Drawing inspiration from ancient cinema of unknown origin, this station was impressive to behold, but its true brilliance was found in the inexpensive nature of construction. Small modular pods were fabricated separately and programmed to auto-join, making the assembly phase the cheapest and safest station construction in the business. The triumph was short-lived however, as the tori proved equally easy to disassemble, causing mass casualties, obviously negating the previously set safety records. Upon foreclosure of Murgh Industries, other companies amended these issues, and the design may occasionally be seen in planetary systems. <br />
<br />
[[file:droidship_s1.png|thumb|left|320px|Ad droidships was the preferred medium of Murgh's advertising firm.]] <br />
==Advertising==<br />
Already proven inclined to opt for profit while untroubled by conscience, the lure of the advertising racked proved irresistible to the young Murgh. Before the construction of a sizeable a fleet of advertising droidships was even finished, the newly formed promotion agency Murgh PR had landed contracts from a wide array of fields, ranging from the arms industry to the most questionable of all health sectors, the fungal cure alternative medicine. <br />
<br />
Public announcement campaigns on behalf of the [[GalCop (Police)|GalCop police authority]] were initially cause for optimism, and after wooing Hatchling CEO Ludo Van Der Budenmayer, Murgh PR secured the campaign to launch the highly anticipated luxury speed ship [[BoyRacer]], which in resulted in euphoria, though prematurely. The joy quickly transformed to dread with the subsequent scandal in the wake of numerous tragic accidents as BoyRacers were revealed to come equipped with subpar automated steering. The unusually gruesome nature of these accidents made the affair a PR nightmare, leaving even PR firms such as Murgh's with no favourable solutions. The lineup of wealthy plaintiff ensured the demise of Hatchling, and Murgh PR was nearly caught in the wave of bankruptcies that ensued. <br />
<br />
[[File:OOAdsplash2.jpg|right|thumb|600px|The so-called advert hall of fame, showcasing campaigns that all went unrecognised at awards ceremonies.]]<br />
Though pulling in some revenue for a limited time, the Murgh ad firm was tainted. At advertisement awards ceremonies, the firm garnered precisely zero awards, and in an industry so dependent on laurels and the steady flow of fumes up one's rear by one's peers and rivals, the days of this venture, too, was numbered.<br />
<br />
[[File:Murgh WPB 2004.png|thumb|right|200px|Murgh's submitted blueprint model for the announced Witchspace Point beacon contract which was ultimately rejected.]]<br />
==Ship construction==<br />
===Nascent career===<br />
Despite all side gigs, Murgh yearned most to be a respected shipbuilder, to become a personage first and foremost associated with the vessels that make possible the noble act of interstellar navigation, the finest starcraft, synonymous with safety, innovation and style. As with many such dreams, these were not remotely anchored in reality. <br />
<br />
[[File:AuldLaveBeacon.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The initial ridiculous Murgh proposal for a Witchspace beacon.]]Murgh first dared to dream when the magnificent Aegidian suggested he turn his hand on building something of use, rather than designing hypercopulating vermin. Granted access to the inner circles of true industry, Murgh became elated when the venerable one appeared favourable to a suggestion of the new concept of placing a series of beacons at the [[witchspace]] convergence point. <br />
Mirthful, Murgh presented the elder with his blueprint for such a beacon, daring to dream that this time too, perhaps, his design would be chosen. It would not, a different path was chosen, but instead being gutted , Murgh found in himself an optimism, a path to honing his building skills, and one day, to make something of himself. <br />
[[File:InitialMoai1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moai moai] submission for the TOGY contract. It didn't turn out like this.]]<br />
[[File:TOGYmoai.png|thumb|right|320px|The moai located in the Tionisla Orbital Graveyard as it came to be in the end, crudely defaced and intentionally poorly lit.]]<br />
<br />
===First commission===<br />
Early on in the efforts of honing his abilities, the young Murgh received a commission for a spiritual memorial stone to contribute to the long-neglected [[Tionisla Orbital Graveyard]], whose foundation trust had recently come into some much-needed funds. With aplomb, Murgh sculpted an homage to the most ancient of navigators, the deadest of the dead, and submitted the work to the esteemed body of selectors. It was received with little comment, though it was remarked that the sculpture appeared to lack ears. It was nevertheless admitted to the body of monuments. Murgh outstayed his welcome, however, with unreasonable demands that the monument be given eternal spotlights, and the relationship with the TOGY board soon grew cold. The board had the last laugh, as the monument to date appears to orbit in perpetual obscurity. <br />
<br />
Some years later it became evident that this ill will was not forgotten, when Murgh approached the TOGY foundation with a proposal to populate the stellar necropolis with advertising droids, and was met with contemptuous scorn. An olive branch from Murgh PR in the form of a promotional campaign with an aim to appease did little to mend the relations, possibly due to the work suffering from spelling errors. <br />
<br />
[[File:Heirloom-splash.jpg|right|thumb|350px|An aggressive ad campaign made Murgh's frugal, rust-covered ships difficult to ignore.]]<br />
===Shipyard years===<br />
At long last, the young Murgh had some funds and as well as some investor confidence to establish his own construction facility. Murgh Shipyards was born. Casting his net again perhaps too widely, he began construction of ships of his own somewhat radical designs, while simultaneously recreating a series of designs once thought lost to posterity, and being of a mind never to waste perfectly useable material, he also set up a subdivision dedicated to restore derelict wrecks to adequate requirements within a margin of safety levels. His vision was to create ships for all manner of creatures, all manner of credit rating.<br />
<br />
The rollout of the [[Heirloom ships|Heirloom series]], the range of ships past their prime renovated to quite near spaceworthy standards, was a decisive success, in no small part aided by an aggressive advertisement campaign by Murgh PR. There was a niche in the market for implausibly cheap spacecraft, and plenty of spacefarers so desperate for interstellar mobility that they would disregard a moderate element of death hazard. Furthermore, to trade in one's newer spacecraft in order to claim the credit balance and then invest in other expensive equipment soon came into vogue, and having predicted this, Murgh was prematurely declared a genius. An auspicious run of good fortune followed, but predictably, it ended.<br />
<br />
==Decline and return==<br />
In the aftermath of the Racing League Scandal, Murgh's immediate withdrawal from public life seemed at first not unexpected, but as time passed, it became evident that Murgh had indeed utterly vanished and left no trace of whence to. Rumours of his final destiny circulated for a time, but as interest abated and new gossip caught the people's imagination, Murgh eventually became completely forgotten. <br />
<br />
Having neither self-immolated in his old shipyard's foundry, been spaced in a cargo container by a cartel of enraged investors, nor absconded with kinetic movement artist Hoola Bandoola to the lagune region of [[Sector1/Anxebiza|Anxebiza]] –as were the three most likely conclusions according to the bookmakers– but rather sought to redefine himself anew on the gastro-planet [[Sector1/Atriso|Atriso]], immersing himself the artisanal trades of exotic cookery and winecraft. Having left behind a world inherently steeped in conflict and struggle, he took to this new existence of harmony and comfort like a lobster to a kettle. <br />
[[File:Murgh22Blackdog.jpg|thumb|right|350px|The Zora Badú-comissioned Python "Blackdog" that reawakened the hunger within Old Murgh.]]<br />
<br />
Having attained mastery of this second path of life and a reputation akin to an influential sage under his false identity, Old Murgh, he had completed the reshaping of his destiny. Despite this life of pleasure and satisfaction, Old Murgh did not feel appropriately satisfied, and came to realise that he craved the turmoil and agony of his former existence. <br />
<br />
Destiny presented an opening, when Old Murgh's true identity was exposed by the high-profile, redoubtable bandit queen Zora Badú, who while evading the law near the suspended vineyards of Muzel, once again proved that she never forgets a face, and put to the old shipbuilder the choice between having his true identity slipped to the galactic press, or assemble for her a ship so she may continue her space-pirating way of life. <br />
<br />
Discovering that old trades are never completely forgotten, Old Murgh promptly restructured from parts a spacecraft in the antiquated Python "Blackdog" motif, and his inner yearnings became clear to him. While not particularly drawn to the sophisticated and impressively luscious [[PROHIP]]y trends that had so dominated shipbuilding fashion in the years since his departure, the passé abstract [[RELOP]]y style beckoned for him to return. <br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gecko-ship-art2.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The Gecko "dragonface" illustration that has inspired many decal versions.]]<br />
== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*The hitherto unreleased [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]] (2022) motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (in both SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and Xpat should see some development as there exist some ideas for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

*<small>Actual ship sightings should be visible in the game.</small>[[File:IronAssVol5Promo.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The routine ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' teaser poster of Volume 5.]]<br />
<br />
== Volume 5 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
The fifth volume, concisely titled '''Volume 5: ''Massives''''', does attempt just that, to focus on ships from the past of the colossal kind, –vessels on such a scale that rivals stations, and into which one may feel drawn to dock. <br />
<br />
Aegidian's [[Behemoth]] and his unreleased (by him at any rate) [[Jormundgand]] are natural top picks into such a collection, but here is also included [[User:ADCK|ADCK]]'s tight Navy carrier variation the [[ADCK's Behemoths|Behemoth 2]]. From Young Murgh's old archives the [[Leviathan]] completes the Naval mammoth presence, at last liberated from the obscurity of the old [[Military Fiasco]] mission. <br />
<br />
[[File:JC&tff.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Once again sharing their smooth magic in [[hOopy Casino]]s everywhere, [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]].]]<br />
The other outsized oddity brought to ferrous revival is the [[hOopy Casino]], here stripped of its later multi-game augmentations and remade primitive to again deal exclusively with the one game of hazard that grabs the imagination of the masses, hOopy Hazard, and again fill its hull with the musical score of the original, the haunting sounds of [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]]. <br />
<br />
One hulk makes its first appearance, the gargantuan generation ships [[Scrub]] which are united by culture in that they are operated by clans or families, are driven by an ethos to which the art of the trade, honour, and being constantly in motion is essential. Their patterns of migration are mysterious, and what it's all for is unknown, probably even to them. <br />
<br />
In that large dockables provide market opportunities, these ships do provide the option to move goods, but traders might find golden trades hard to come by. Naval carriers may purchase items of necessity but only at low prices and have nothing they are motivated to sell. Jormundgands may have markets of moderate interest, but the unpredictable Scrubs should be worth inspecting. hOopy Casinos do have the particular trait of housing patrons that are willing to pay over the odds for gemstones.<br />
<br />
In addition, there are included an array of small vessels that make up the respective entourages of these giants. There is a naval fighter fleet that is made up of the [[Viper (Oolite)|Navy Viper]], [[Asp (Oolite)|Navy Asp Mk.II]] and [[Asp-X|Navy Asp X]], [[Rattle Cutter|Navy Rattle Cutter]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Navy Cougar]] and exceedingly rare, the [[Constrictor (Oolite)|Navy Constrictor]].<br />
<br />
The civilian equivalent of defense ships are made up defending gnats for Jormundgands, tweaked rusty Adders for the Scrubs, and a fleet of hOopy Security Sidewinders for the casino ships, usually along with some AdDroid PR pushing presence.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one can realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been shifted from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

==Acknowledgements==<br />
*Nearly all the core ships are from [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), and most of his OXP ships are his own creations; my only minor model additions are protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />
<br />
*[[User:ADCK|ADCK]] is the original creator of the Behemoth 2 model.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flasher coordinates on the core ships, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into these OXPs.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Griff|Griff]]'s lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here, as well as an adaptation of a Griff inner dock texture.<br />
<br />
*AI solutions and javascripting for the Vol.4 Cobra Clipper SAR was graciously provided by [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] who solved fundamental performance problems and improved upon the ship's behaviour in this author's absence. Additionally his code for the hOopy, Leviathan, Behemoth and bigshipsAI is the bedrock of Volume 5.<br />
<br />
*[[User:Spara|Spara]] is a co-author of the hOopy and Behemoth coding, [[User:Pmw57|Paul Wilkins]] has contributed to the hOopy coding, [[User:Thargoid|Thargoid]] is a co-author of the bigshipsAI, and further javascript rescue has been provided by [[User:phkb|phkb]], [[User:Montana05|Montana]] and [[User:Alnivel|Alnivel]].<br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />

The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />

== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

<br />
== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*The hitherto unreleased [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]] (2022) motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (in both SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and Xpat should see some development as there exist some ideas for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

*<small>Actual ship sightings should be visible in the game.</small>[[File:IronAssVol5Promo.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The routine ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' teaser poster of Volume 5.]]<br />
<br />
== Volume 5 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
The fifth volume, concisely titled '''Volume 5: ''Massives''''', does attempt just that, to focus on ships from the past of the colossal kind, –vessels on such a scale that rivals stations, and into which one may feel drawn to dock. <br />
<br />
Aegidian's [[Behemoth]] and his unreleased (by him at any rate) [[Jormundgand]] are natural top picks into such a collection, but here is also included [[User:ADCK|ADCK]]'s tight Navy carrier variation the [[ADCK's Behemoths|Behemoth 2]]. From Young Murgh's old archives the [[Leviathan]] completes the Naval mammoth presence, at last liberated from the obscurity of the old [[Military Fiasco]] mission. <br />
<br />
[[File:JC&tff.jpg|thumb|left|320px|Once again sharing their smooth magic in [[hOopy Casino]]s everywhere, [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]].]]<br />
The other outsized oddity brought to ferrous revival is the [[hOopy Casino]], here stripped of its later multi-game augmentations and remade primitive to again deal exclusively with the one game of hazard that grabs the imagination of the masses, hOopy Hazard, and again fill its hull with the musical score of the original, the haunting sounds of [[Jonny Cuba|Jonny Cuba & the Fierce Frogs]]. <br />
<br />
One hulk makes its first appearance, the gargantuan generation ships [[Scrub]] which are united by culture in that they are operated by clans or families, are driven by an ethos to which the art of the trade, honour, and being constantly in motion is essential. Their patterns of migration are mysterious, and what it's all for is unknown, probably even to them. <br />
<br />
In that large dockables provide market opportunities, these ships do provide the option to move goods, but traders might find golden trades hard to come by. Naval carriers may purchase items of necessity but only at low prices and have nothing they are motivated to sell. Jormundgands may have markets of moderate interest, but the unpredictable Scrubs should be worth inspecting. hOopy Casinos do have the particular trait of housing patrons that are willing to pay over the odds for gemstones.<br />
<br />
In addition, there are included an array of small vessels that make up the respective entourages of these giants. There is a naval fighter fleet that is made up of the [[Viper (Oolite)|Navy Viper]], [[Asp (Oolite)|Navy Asp Mk.II]] and [[Asp-X|Navy Asp X]], [[Rattle Cutter|Navy Rattle Cutter]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Navy Cougar]] and exceedingly rare, the [[Constrictor (Oolite)|Navy Constrictor]].<br />
<br />
The civilian equivalent of defense ships are made up defending gnats for Jormundgands, tweaked rusty Adders for the Scrubs, and a fleet of hOopy Security Sidewinders for the casino ships, usually along with some AdDroid PR pushing presence.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one can realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been shifted from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

==Acknowledgements==<br />
*Nearly all the core ships are from Aegidian original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), with only minor additions of protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs, [[Smivs' ShipSet]] and [[The Classic Ships OXP|The Classic Ships]] were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flashers, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into this OXP.<br />
<br />
*Griff's lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />
<br />
*AI solutions and javascripting for the Vol.4 Cobra Clipper SAR was graciously provided by [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] who solved fundamental performance problems and improved upon the ship's behaviour in this author's absence. <br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gecko-ship-art2.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The Gecko "dragonface" illustration that has inspired many decal versions.]]<br />
== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

<br />
== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*The hitherto unreleased [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]] (2022) motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (in both SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and Xpat should see some development as there exist some ideas for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one can realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been shifted from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

*Nearly all the core ships are from Aegidian original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), with only minor additions of protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs, [[Smivs' ShipSet]] and [[The Classic Ships OXP|The Classic Ships]] were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flashers, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into this OXP.<br />
<br />
*Griff's lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />

<br />
= Format =<br />
Shipdata.plist is in [[Property list]] format.<br />
The shipdata document is a dictionary of ships. Example:<br />
<br />
{<br />
"rsvh_adder" = {<br />
like_ship = "adder";<br />
is_external_dependency = yes;<br />
pilot = "oolite-hunter";<br />
roles = "rrs-vicious-hunter(1)";<br />
"missile_role" = "EQ_HARDENED_MISSILE";<br />
"script_info" = {<br />
"randomshipnames" = "hunter";<br />
"skilled_npc_role" = "hunter";<br />
};<br />
};<br />
<br />
"rsvh_asp" = {<br />
like_ship = "asp";<br />
is_external_dependency = yes;<br />
pilot = "oolite-hunter";<br />
roles = "rrs-vicious-hunter(1)";<br />
"aft_weapon_type" = "WEAPON_BEAM_LASER";<br />
"script_info" = {<br />
"randomshipnames" = "hunter";<br />
"skilled_npc_role" = "hunter";<br />
};<br />
};<br />
}<br />
<br />
'''shipdata.[[plist]]''' will provide Oolite with all the definitions necessary to include it as an entity in the game, be it ship, station, freak object or sub-entity [[shipdata_structure|(extra)]]. The following (property) entries are, for order's sake, listed alphabetically:<br />
<br />
= Ship keys=<br />
The following keys are used by all ships<br />
==accuracy==<br />
Used with missiles it has influence on tracking of target. Allowed values with missiles are between 0.0 and 10.0. When not defined, the system assigns to the missile the accuracy value of 0.0, which corresponds to the standard missile tracking behaviour.<br />
<br />
In 1.76 or earlier, when used with NPC ships it slightly enlarges the chance of shooting at greater distances, and makes a small improvement to their aim. Value with NPC ships is between -5 and 10 though all values between -5 and +1 will be increased to +1. When not defined, NPCs will be assigned a random value in the range +1 to +10.<br />
<br />
In 1.77 or later, when used with NPC ships it affects various aspects of the ship AI. Values can be assigned between -5 and +10. When not defined, a random value between -5 and +5 will be used. [[OXP_NPC_Combat_AI|NPC accuracy]] significantly affects the quality of the AI in combat.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"accuracy" = 8.3;<br />
<br />
== aft_eject_position ==<br />
Determines the XYZ point on the model from which cargo is ejected.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"aft_eject_position" = "0.0 -4.5 -23.0";<br />
<br />
== aft_weapon_type ==<br />
Assigns the ship's aft laser. <br />
Any weapon type from the [[equipment.plist]] can be used (and WEAPON_NONE). <br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"aft_weapon_type" = "WEAPON_BEAM_LASER";<br />
<br />
== ai_type ==<br />
Assigns an AI to the entity. This may be a previously existing AI, or one custom made for the occasion.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"ai_type" = "pirateAI.plist";<br />
<br />
== auto_ai ==<br />
This will autoswitch the ai to the appropriate one if a ship was added in one of its standard roles like trader or pirate. (true by default). See also the comment in the autoAIMap.plist inside Oolite. Defining auto_ai is only necessary when using one of the standard roles mentioned in the autoAIMap.plist for your ship. auto_ai does nothing for ships with custom roles.<br />
Example:<br />
"auto_ai" = yes;<br />
This auto_ai switch is also used for bounties. When auto_ai is false the ship will keep the bounty as defined for the ship but, when true and the ship is added in one of the populator roles, the ship will get the default bounty for that role.<br />
<br />
== auto_weapons ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.79}}<br />
<br />
This parameter if true (the default is false) indicates to the Oolite system populator (and potentially to OXPs) that they may change the weapons, missile load, equipment and other such parameters of this ship to make it better fit its role. This allows you to specify a single hull for multiple roles, and have the ship re-equipped to suit those roles. Ships intended for general addition to the spacelanes in standard roles and not intended to be significantly different in difficulty to the core ships should probably turn this on.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"auto_weapons" = yes;<br />
<br />
== beacon ==<br />
A special feature for beacons and navigation aids.<br />
The string can be anything - the first letter was what was displayed in the advanced space compass before Oolite v.1.79. It is still the only display for the older [[HUD]]'s.<br />
<br />
Example: <br />
"beacon" = "X";<br />
<br />
Characters that are known to be used as identifiers for '''stations and other fixed objects''' are found on the page for the [[Advanced_Space_Compass#List_of_Navigational_Buoys|Advanced Space Compass]]. Most letters have been used multiple times in various OXPs. <br />
<br />
Since v.1.79 the HUD also displays a longer label; before that several HUD OXPs were available to do something similar (see [[Advanced Space Compass]]).<br />
<br />
We can also use custom icons with the compass. For that you must define a key in descriptions.plist with the same name as the beacon definition. Than define the icon in the same way as missile icons. (An array of x/y-coordinates that will be connected by lines). You can find more info at [http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9529 the Oolite BB].<br><br />
Example in shipdata:<br />
"beacon" = "fuelStation_location";<br />
Example in descriptions.plist<br />
"fuelStation_location" = (1, 2, -3, 2, -3, -4, 3, -4, 3, 4, -3, 4, -3, 3, 2, 3, 2, -3, 1, -3 );<br />
Before 1.75 the ships primary role was used for defining the icon name in descriptions.plist, but since 1.75 the beacon name itself is used.<br />
<br />
There are several devices which detect things from great distance: the Vanilla game's [[Advanced Space Compass]], [[The Galactic Almanac OXZ]], [[Telescope]] and the [[Long Range Scanner]]. The last is a cheat OXP useful for programmers. See the [http://www.aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=281279#p281279 HIMSN thread] for details of making things invisible to them.<br />
<br />
== beacon_label ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.79}}<br />
<br />
A full label for the beacon. If this is not set, it will default to be the same as <code>beacon</code>, but it may be useful to have a beacon with a full label starting with a different letter than its code. The beacon label text will be expanded using the standard description rules<br />
"beacon_label" = "%H Station"; // Lave Station, Diso Station, etc.<br />
<br />
== bounty ==<br />
Sets a Cr. reward on the NPC's head, and is bound to give it trouble with the law . This bounty setting is overruled when adding ships in one of the populator roles like pirate, trader etc. Pirates are default added with a small bounty and traders are added clean. However, like the player, also the npc bounty can raise when attacking other clean ships or police vessels.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"bounty" = 50;<br />
<br />
== cargo_carried ==<br />
Determines the type of cargo carried as described in [[commodities]] and [[commodities.plist]]. Only one type can be specified. This key can be used for both ships and barrels.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"cargo_carried" = "Gold";<br />
<br />
When used for barrels, it is also possible to add several units in a pod by preceding the commodity name with a space separated number. Adding more than a ton in a pod is not possible. Defining a quantity for ships is not possible this way.<br><br />
It is possible to define a mix of random cargo for ships by using the string "SCARCE_GOODS" or "PLENTIFUL_GOODS", instead of a commodity name. The first selects random goods that are scarce at the main station, the second selects goods that are plentiful present at the main station. (Populator added traders heading toward the station always have scarce goods while traders heading from the main station always have plentiful goods on board. It would be wise to stick to this rule with custom ships.)<br><br />
To make cargo_carried working for ships, the cargo_type must be "CARGO_NOT_CARGO" to define the ship not being cargo itself. (see below)<br />
<br />
'''Note''': A bug introduced in 1.82 means that only commodity keys from the [[Trade-goods.plist]] are recognised here. That is "gold" will be recognised, whereas "Gold" will not. This bug is fixed in the 1.83/1.84 release.<br />
<br />
== [[cargo_type]] ==<br />
Determines if object is indeed cargo (CARGO_RANDOM, CARGO_SLAVES, CARGO_THARGOID, CARGO_ALLOY, CARGO_MINERALS, CARGO_CARRIED) or a ship, as below, which is not cargo. (CARGO_RANDOM is not fully random but means that a container can hold any kind of commodity.)<br><br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"cargo_type" = "CARGO_RANDOM";<br />
<br />
Will create random cargo, often based on availability in the system. When you want fixed cargo you can use:<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"cargo_type" = "CARGO_CARRIED";<br />
"cargo_carried" = "4 Gold";<br />
<br />
You can also specify the cargo of a ship. use "cargo_type" = CARGO_NOT_CARGO and define the contents of the barrels it will give with "cargo_carried". In that case there must be no quantity defined, only the type of [[commodity]].<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"cargo_type" = "CARGO_NOT_CARGO";<br />
"cargo_carried" = "Computers";<br />
<br />
Another notable type of cargo is the scripted item CARGO_SCRIPTED_ITEM, as exemplified by the cloaking device. When CARGO_SCRIPTED_ITEM is defined, the barrels will trigger scooping events for the ship-scripts. Other barrels don't trigger scooping events.<br><br />
The cargo barrels are stored in the ships hold like normal barrels when a cargo was defined for them with the JS method "setCargo". Without defined content, scripted barrels are removed after scooping. Scripted cargo works with any object that can be scooped. When you have scripted escape pods that must be preserved after scooping, fill it with one ton of Slaves.<br />
<br />
== cloak_automatic ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.75}}<br />
<br />
When false, the cloak of npc ships will never get activate automatic during combat, but is only activated by JS script commands. (True by default)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"cloak_automatic" = no;<br />
<br />
== cloak_passive ==<br />
When true, any firing of laser will deactivate the cloak. (False by default in 1.76 or earlier, true by default in 1.77 or later) <br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"cloak_passive" = yes;<br />
<br />
==conditions==<br />
With this option you can include an array of extra conditions when to add a ship. When the conditions are not met, the ship does not appear in a selection list by role. Useful when you have a standard ship like a trader that should only be added in certain systems.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"conditions" = (<br />
"systemGovernment_number equal 3",<br />
"systemEconomy_number lessthan 4"<br />
);<br />
<br />
==condition_script==<br />
''Available from Oolite 1.77 onwards''<br />
<br />
This option specifies a Javascript file which controls the addition of this ship. The <code>allowSpawnShip</code> function in that [[Oolite_JavaScript_Reference:_Condition_scripts|condition script]] will then be tested before the ship is added. Several ships can share a condition script.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"condition_script" = "myoxp_conditions.js";<br />
<br />
== counts_as_kill ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.75}}<br />
<br />
Killing this ship will not count as a kill by the player when set to false. (Default is true). Using this key prevents awarding kills to all kind of cargo, debris etc.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"counts_as_kill" = no;<br />
<br />
== custom_views==<br />
Will add the ability to display custom POVs of the player ship, in game toggled by pressing '''v'''. <br />
<br />
This is an array with any number of entries, one for each view, each with:<br />
*a '''view_description''' - giving a textual description of the view. <br />
*a '''view_position''' - relative to the origin of the ship model. <br />
*a '''view_orientation''' - this is a [[Quaternions|quaternion]] expressing a rotation from directly forwards. <br />
*a '''weapon_facing''' - FORWARD, AFT, PORT or STARBOARD. The weapon that will fire when that view is selected.<br />
<br />
The view_position is best chosen by selecting a facet, line or point in Wings and copying down the coordinates. <br />
<br />
For the view_orientation you will probably need a calculator but the basic method is to choose a unit vector (x y z) as the axis for a rotation then calculate the four values W X Y and Z for the quaternion as follows: <br />
<br />
W = the cosine of half the angle rotated about the axis xyz<br /><br />
X = the sine of half the angle rotated about xyz, multiplied by x<br /><br />
Y = the sine of half the angle rotated about xyz, multiplied by y <br /><br />
Z = the sine of half the angle rotated about xyz, multiplied by z <br /><br />
<br />
Four decimal places are probably enough accuracy for these values.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
custom_views =<br />
(<br />
{<br />
view_description = "Front View";<br />
view_orientation = "0.0 0.0 1.0 0.0";<br />
view_position = "0.0 30.0 200.0";<br />
weapon_facing = "FORWARD";<br />
}<br />
);<br />
<br />
== death_actions ==<br />
Gives an opportunity to have a ship's death trigger one or a set of [[Shipdata.plist#script_actions|script_actions]]. It contains an array of legacy script expressions.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"death_actions" = ("spawn: explosive_shrapnel 1");<br />
<br />
== debris_role ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.74}}<br />
<br />
Specifies the kind of debris an asteroid or boulder generates. When not defined they default to generating 'ships' with role "boulder" or "splinter".<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"debris_role" = "my_boulder_foo";<br />
<br />
== density ==<br />
This real value is used to calculate a ships total mass. Default is 1.0. The mass of the ship is then 20 * density * volume.<br />
<br />
Ship's mass does not affect its flight under the non-inertial engines - see [[#thrust|thrust]]. It does affect:<br />
* changes in momentum, and damage done, in a collision<br />
* the minimum distance needed from this ship for another ship to open a witchspace wormhole (the blocking radius is the square root of a tenth of the mass)<br />
* the length of time a witchspace wormhole opened by this ship will remain open, and the radius of that wormhole.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"density" = 1.5;<br />
<br />
== display_name ==<br />
States the model's name as it will be known to the ID computer. By default this is the same as "name". Added for multilingual oolite.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"display_name" = "ExampleShip Mark IX";<br />
<br />
== energy_recharge_rate ==<br />
The rate at which energy is replenished. Stations are at 100, Adders at 2. (Default value: 1)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"energy_recharge_rate" = "3.5";<br />
<br />
== escape_pod_model ==<br />
With this entry ships can have custom escape pods. (starting from version 1.65) You have to specify the '''role''' of your custom escape pod (not its entry-name).<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"escape_pod_model" = "custom_pod";<br />
<br />
== escorts ==<br />
Determines how many escorts an NPC shall have. Maximum is 16.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"escorts" = 4;<br />
Warning: Ships with scanClass = CLASS_POLICE should always have escorts set to zero. Oolite will set this value here and add wingmans instead of escorts. Without special scripting escorts won't escort a mother with CLASS_POLICE.<br><br />
For ships that are added in a trader role, the populator can decide to subtract escorts from the defined value when the system is estimated as safe. <br />
<br />
== escort_role ==<br />
Assigns the specific ship type to be the escort, by the ship's role. (Before Oolite 1.74 only the name "escort-role" is accepted.)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"escort_role" = "my_custom_escort_role";<br />
Escort ships will use the escortAI.plist unless "auto_ai" is set to false.<br />
<br />
<br />
==escort_roles==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.79}}<br />
<br />
This property overrules <code>escorts</code>, <code>escort_role</code> and <code>escort_ship</code> to allow more flexible specification of a ship's escorts. It takes the form of a list of dictionaries, each containing a "role", "min" and "max" key. The ship will then get between "min" and "max" of that role of escort ship (specific ships can be added using the "[dataKey]" style of role), with "max" more likely in Anarchy systems and "min" more likely in Corporate States.<br />
<br />
escort_roles = (<br />
{ role = "escort"; min = -2; max = 2; },<br />
{ role = "escort-medium"; min = 0; max = 4; },<br />
{ role = "escort-heavy"; min = -4; max = 2; },<br />
{ role = ""; min = 0; max = 2; } // spare slots for wandering escorts<br />
);<br />
<br />
A negative number can be used for "min" - this makes it more likely that none of this type of escort will be used in safer systems, and makes the maximum number less likely in the more dangerous systems. In the example above, the ship will mainly be escorted by "escort-medium" ships, with a couple of "escort" ships likely in unsafe systems, and a small chance of "escort-heavy" ships also appearing in more dangerous systems.<br />
<br />
Leaving the role key blank allows the ship to have spare slots for escorts which are left unfilled when the ship is spawned. This can be used to simulate a willingness to hire additional escorts, or to indicate that the ship has already lost some of its escorts.<br />
<br />
The maximum number of escorts remains 16, and the list will be processed from top to bottom. Once 16 escorts are added no further entries will be considered.<br />
<br />
== escort_ship ==<br />
Assigns the specific ship type to be the escort, by the ship's name. (Before Oolite 1.74 only the name "escort-ship" is accepted.)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"escort_ship" = "cobramk1";<br />
Escort ships will use the escortAI.plist unless "auto_ai" is set to false.<br />
<br />
In Oolite 1.77 and later it is also possible to use <code>"escort_role" = "[cobramk1]"</code><br />
<br />
== exhaust ==<br />
The XYZ position(s) of exhaust plume(s), and the XYZ of the plume shape, ergo<br />
<br />
x y z width height length<br />
<br />
'''x y z''' is the position relative to the origin of the main model. <br />
<br />
'''width''' in meters, how far a plume extends on x axis, on each side of plume position. (x radius)<br />
<br />
'''height''' in meters, how far a plume extends on y axis, above and below of plume position. (y radius)<br />
<br />
'''length''' in meters, how long a plume is on z axis. (This value is in current Oolite versions ignored. Length is now derived from the ships speed)<br />
<br />
<br />
Below are 2 assigned plumes at coords 5, 0, -25 and -5, 0, -25, and each plume is 6 m wide and 4 m tall. (length info is ignored)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"exhaust" = (<br />
"5 0.0 -25 3.0 2.0 10.0",<br />
"-5 0.0 -25 3.0 2.0 10.0"<br />
);<br />
<br />
== exhaust_emissive_color ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.79}}<br />
<br />
Determines the colour of the exhausts.<br />
<br />
For the colour you can use either a [[Materials in Oolite#Colour specifiers|colour specifier]] or a [[Materials in Oolite#Named colours|named colour]]. <br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"exhaust_emissive_color" = "redColor";<br />
or<br />
"exhaust_emissive_color" = "1 0 0";<br />
<br />
== explosion_type ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.81}}<br />
<br />
A list of [[explosions.plist]] entries describing how the ship explodes if destroyed.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"explosion_type" = ("oolite-default-asteroid-explosion");<br />
<br />
== extra_cargo ==<br />
Cargobay extension size can be customised. This is the amount the cargo capacity increases when an extra cargobay is installed. Default value is 15. It is only used with player ships.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"extra_cargo" = 25;<br />
<br />
== forward_weapon_type ==<br />
Assigns the ship's forward laser. <br />
Any weapon type from the [[equipment.plist]] can be used.<br> e.g.: WEAPON_PULSE_LASER, WEAPON_BEAM_LASER, WEAPON_MILITARY_LASER, WEAPON_MINING_LASER, WEAPON_PLASMA_CANNON, WEAPON_THARGOID_LASER and WEAPON_NONE. <br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"forward_weapon_type" = "WEAPON_BEAM_LASER";<br />
<br />
== frangible ==<br />
Determines if eventual sub-entities are "loose". By default any given object is already frangible, so the use of this line must be to negate that. <br />
If set to false, the object plus subentities will be regarded as a single object.<br />
If set to true, sub entities can be destroyed seperately from the main object. Frangible sub-entities can have a max_energy and an energy_recharge_rate that is independently set from the main entity.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"frangible" = no;<br />
<br />
== fragment_chance ==<br />
Determines if a ship breaks apart into fragments and generates parts with role "wreckage". By chance factor, or true/false. Default is 90% chance.<br />
The amount of wreckage is based on the ships mass with a maximum of 3. Wreckage is scaled to match the ships size but is very short living. (0.25s -> 1.25s)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"fragment_chance" = no;<br />
<br />
== fuel ==<br />
Determines an NPC ship's fuel storage, which will affect how it uses its Fuel Injectors and how far it can jump. If unspecified the default is zero (though ships added via the system populator will often be given some fuel anyway)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"fuel" = 70;<br />
<br />
== has_cloaking_device ==<br />
Determines if a ship has a cloacking device installed. By chance factor, or true/false.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"has_cloaking_device" = 0.5;<br />
<br />
== has_ecm ==<br />
Determines if a ship has the E.C.M system installed. By chance factor, or true/false.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"has_ecm" = 0.5;<br />
or<br />
"has_ecm" = no;<br />
<br />
== has_energy_bomb ==<br />
Determines if a ship has an energy bomb. If it has one, it might launch a mine with role "energy_bomb" as part of his fleeing behavior. currently the only build-in mine with this role is the q-bomb.<br>A ship will only deploy the bomb when it has also fuel-injectors and some fuel left to avoid getting killed by its own bomb. On average it will try to deploy the bomb once every 100 seconds during fleeing.<br />
<br />
Example: <br />
"has_energy_bomb" = yes;<br />
<br />
== has_escape_pod ==<br />
Determines if a ship has an escape pod. Can be either a boolean value, or a number from 0 to 1 expressing the likelihood of the equipment being present. Starting with version 1.65 ships can have multiple escape pods. To specify more than one escape pod, '''has_escape_pod''' must be set to a numeric value corresponding to the escape pods present on board.<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
has_escape_pod = no;<br />
has_escape_pod = 0.75;<br />
has_escape_pod = 3;<br />
<br />
== has_fuel_injection ==<br />
Determines if a ship has the witchdrive fuel injector.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"has_fuel_injection" = 0.99;<br />
<br />
==has_military_jammer==<br />
Determines if a ship has a military jammer. Ships equipped with this item become invisible on the radar. <br />
Example:<br />
"has_military_jammer" = 0.75;<br />
<br />
==has_military_scanner_filter==<br />
Determines if a ship has a military jammer filter. Ships equipped with this item can see ships equipped with a military jammer on the radar. <br />
Example:<br />
"has_military_scanner_filter" = 0.50;<br />
<br />
== has_scoop ==<br />
Determines if a ship has a fuel/cargo scoop.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"has_scoop" = no;<br />
<br />
== has_scoop_message ==<br />
A key for cargo. Determines if a barrel generates a default scoop message when scooped. Default is true, but setting it to false suppresses any messages, so a scripts can generate its custom messages on scooping. (Added with Oolite 1.74)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"has_scoop_message" = no;<br />
<br />
== has_shield_booster==<br />
Determines if a ship has the shield booster. (enlarges max energy with 256)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"has_shield_booster" = 0.80;<br />
<br />
== has_shield_enhancer ==<br />
Determines if a ship has the coveted shield enhancer. (enlarges max energy with 256 and raises energy recharge rate with 50%)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"has_shield_enhancer" = 0.45;<br />
<br />
== heat_insulation ==<br />
This real number gives the amount of heat insulation of a ship. Default is 1.0 (2.0 for ships equipped with EQ_HEAT_SHIELD). Values below 0.125 will be increased to that minimum. This parameter is only for NPC ships and stations. Player ships ignore this and always start with 1.0 heat insulation and can add an additional 1.0 (for a total of 2.0) with the ship equipment EQ_HEAT_SHIELD. Heat insulation for NPCs is only a factor when close to the sun. Energy damage does not cause overheating (because otherwise it would be too easy to overheat NPC ships with missiles or lasers), but it can raise ships' temperature to the maximum safe level. Overheating occurs when a ship's temperature exceeds the safe level, which is determined by the heat insulation level. External temperature is determined by distance from the sun. Larger suns are hotter. Suns that are going nova are, unsurprisingly, even warmer. <br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"heat_insulation" = "2.0";<br />
<br />
NPC ships launched from stations are given the same heat insulation as the station if the station's is greater than the ship's. Courier ships generated by the core system populator are given a heat insulation level of 6.0. Escort ships (if any) receive at least the same heat insulation as the ship they are escorting. See [http://www.aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=177357#p177357 BB Thread] (2012)<br />
<br />
Player ships use the same model as NPC ships for external temperature from the sun, but additionally simulate heat from air friction when inside planetary atmospheres, which is a factor that NPC ships ignore.<br />
<br />
== hud ==<br />
Used for a playership, to assign another HUD than the default one.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"hud" = "specialhud.plist";<br />
<br />
== hyperspace_motor ==<br />
If set to false / NO, it will stop ships from executing normal hyperspace jump (player ships will still be able to execute galactic jumps). Default = true / YES. (Planned for Oolite 1.75)<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
"hyperspace_motor" = no;<br />
<br />
hyperspace_motor=NO;<br />
<br />
== hyperspace_motor_spin_time ==<br />
Used to modify jump countdown time. Default = 15.<br />
<br />
Examples:<br />
"hyperspace_motor_spin_time" = "15";<br />
<br />
==injector_burn_rate==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.81}}<br />
<br />
The default fuel burn rate of injectors on this ship, in deci-LY per second. The default is 0.25.<br />
<br />
"injector_burn_rate" = 0.25;<br />
<br />
==injector_speed_factor==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.81}}<br />
<br />
The multiplier applied to the ship's maximum speed when it is using injectors. The default is 7.<br />
<br />
"injector_speed_factor" = 7;<br />
<br />
==is_external_dependency==<br />
This key should be added to ships that use like_ship references to ships in other oxps but don't depend on them. Normally will Oolite write errors in the log when it can't resolve a like_ship reference. When this key is set to YES, it will suppress the error generation.<br>WARNING: only set this key to YES when the model won't get added to the system without the other oxp installed or you will miss a valuable warning.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"is_external_dependency" = yes;<br />
<br />
==is_submunition==<br />
Key added for missiles with multiple warheads. When this key is set and the entity is spawn or fired by a missile, it inherits its parent as owner. This key must be set so the player will be awarded for a kill by submunition.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"is_submunition" = yes;<br />
<br />
==is_template==<br />
Set this to yes for ships which are only used through like_ships and are not intended to be used directly. If your (otherwise working) OXP generates warnings about ships with no roles or model attribute, you probably need this.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"is_template" = yes;<br />
<br />
== laser_color ==<br />
Determines a ship's laser colour.<br />
<br />
As colour you can use a [[Materials in Oolite#Colour specifiers|colour specifier]] or a [[Materials in Oolite#Named colours|named colour]]. The game requires laser colours to be reasonably bright; if the brightest colour component is less than 0.5, the colour will be brightened.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"laser_color" = "cyanColor"<br />
<br />
<br />
== launch_actions ==<br />
Triggers a script on the entity just after setup, also when called by spawn and addShip methods.<br />
Can be used to change to a custom AI, when a ship is generated by standard role. <br />
[[Shipdata.plist#script_actions|script_actions]]<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"role = trader";<br />
"launch_actions" = (<br />
"setAITo: pirateAI.plist"<br />
);<br />
<br />
<br />
== like_ship ==<br />
Allows a shipdata entry (of a ship with many matching characteristics to another) to be short and sweet. With '''like_ship''' you can reference to another existing shipdata entry, and then only specify the differences to the 'original'. It takes the unique '''entry-identifier''' as argument. Of course you have to make sure that the 'original' you are referring to actually exists, or Oolite won't be able to create your ship.<br />
<br />
Works well together with the [[#is_template|is_template]]-key.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"my_ship" = {<br />
"like_ship" = "adder";<br />
"max_flight_speed" = "700";<br />
"name" = "Freak Turbo Adder";<br />
},<br />
<br />
== likely_cargo ==<br />
This is only used for ships with role asteroid and pirate. With asteroids it gives the likely number of boulders it breaks into. With pirates added by the [[System Populator]]: when lower than 16 it is the cargo, when higher than 15, it is changed in a random value between 0 and 15. This value is overridden by the actual scooped cargo if the pirate had scooped something.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"likely_cargo" = "2";<br />
<br />
== materials ==<br />
See [[Materials in Oolite]].<br />
<br />
<br />
== max_cargo ==<br />
Sets the ship's cargo limit. On explosion of trader ships added by the [[System Populator]], 10% of this value is used as likely cargo. When the result is lower than 16 it is the cargo, when higher than 15, it is changed in a random value between 0 and 15.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"max_cargo" = "5";<br />
<br />
== max_energy ==<br />
Sets the ship's energy value. (Default value: 200)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"max_energy" = "300";<br />
<br />
<br />
== max_flight_pitch ==<br />
Sets pitch factor. Will usually range from a sluggish 0.6 to a very sensitive 3.0<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"max_flight_pitch" = "2.2";<br />
<br />
<br />
== max_flight_roll ==<br />
Sets roll factor. Will usually range from 0.8 to 4.6.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"max_flight_roll" = "4.2";<br />
<br />
<br />
== max_flight_speed ==<br />
Sets the model's top speed. Interceptors fly at 520 (0.52 LM), Shuttles at 80.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"max_flight_speed" = "320";<br />
<br />
== max_flight_yaw ==<br />
Sets yaw factor. Will usually range from a sluggish 0.6 to a very sensitive 3.0 When no value is defined it will use the same value as max_flight_pitch<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"max_flight_yaw" = "2.2";<br />
<br />
== max_missiles ==<br />
Sets a ship's missile limit. Maximum allowable value for the player is 16 and for npc ships 32. When not defined, the value with "missiles" is used as max_missiles. When defining more than a few missiles, it could be wise to also define value for "missile_load_time" to avoid massive missile launches. npc ships are more likely to fire missiles the more they carry.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"max_missiles" = "1";<br />
<br />
== missile_launch_position ==<br />
Determines the XYZ point on the model from which a missile is launched.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"missile_launch_position" = "0.0 -2.25 10.0";<br />
<br />
This position should lie outside the bounding box of the core entity and not just outside of the ships mesh. Default value: (0, -4, 1)<br><br />
If the position does lie inside the bounding box, the launch position is shifted along its direction until the launched missile lies outside the bounding box of the central entity. (Bounding boxes of subentities are ignored) The collision radius of the launched missile is taken into account. The collision radius for a plain missile is 4.52 meter.<br />
<br />
== missile_load_time ==<br />
Defines the time in seconds before a new missile is ready to fire after one is fired. Mainly useful for npc ships that have many missiles.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"missile_load_time" = "2.1";<br />
<br />
<br />
== missiles ==<br />
Sets the number of missiles the ship is equipped with on ship creation. e.g. you can set this at zero and than use a dedicated script to fill up the bay with specific missiles.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"missiles" = "0";<br />
<br />
== missile_role ==<br />
Defines the type of missiles (or mines) an NPC ship is provided with. Default is "EQ_MISSILE". When missiles are loaded on ship creation, 90% will be of this type and 10% will be random, chosen from all possible NPC missiles and mines. Also affects the javascript [[Oolite_JavaScript_Reference:_Ship#selectNewMissile|selectNewMissile()]] command.<br />
The string defined inside missile_role needs both to be defined inside [[equipment.plist]], and be inside the '''roles''' property of the missile/mine shipdata entry. <br />
<br />
To assign a specific missile type to a newly bought player ship, its dependancies must be defined inside [[shipyard.plist]].<br />
<br />
Example: <br />
"missile_role" = "EQ_THARGON";<br />
<br />
== model ==<br />
Assigns the entity's corresponding '''.dat''' file that will be found with the exact same name in the ''Models'' folder.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"model" = "example_ship.dat";<br />
<br />
== model_scale_factor ==<br />
1.81 or later only.<br />
<br />
If this is set, the model specified in the <code>model</code> property will be scaled by this factor (the default is 1.0, of course). Additionally, all subentities will have both their positions and sizes scaled (recursively if necessary), and the weapon positions will also be multiplied by the scale factor.<br />
<br />
Player ships will also have their internal and external view positions multiplied by the scale factor.<br />
<br />
model_scale_factors on subentities will be ignored - the value for the main entity will be used instead.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"model_scale_factor" = 2.0;<br />
<br />
== name ==<br />
States the model's name as it will be known to the ID computer.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"name" = "ExampleShip Mark IX";<br />
<br />
== no_boulders ==<br />
With older versions, scripted asteroids had no boulders by default. Starting with 1.70 all asteroids produce boulders when hit by a mining laser. no_boulders can overwrite this to emulate the old situation. By chance factor, or true/false.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"no_boulders" = yes;<br />
<br />
== pilot ==<br />
Gives the ship a predefined pilot, defined in [[characters.plist]]. Can eject in pod, if available, and be captured.<BR><br />
By default every object starts with a pilot except buoys, missiles, cargo and rocks. By defining a specific pilot, any default pilot is replaced or a pilot is added to previously unpiloted objects.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"pilot" = "constrictor-mission-thief";<br />
<br />
When no pilot is defined, Oolite will create a random pilot based on the ships role. For custom roles this means that Oolite has no clue and the pilot might have other bounties/insurances than desired. For this reason contains Oolite, starting with v 1.75, some predefined pilots: "oolite-trader", "oolite-pirate", "oolite-hunter", "oolite-police", "oolite-miner", "oolite-passenger" and "oolite-slave". When using one of these pilots, a random bounty/insurance will be set appropriate for this pilot role. Pilot bounty is different as ship bounty but on ejecting the pilot inherits the highest of both values. (actually a bitwise OR of both values)<br />
<br />
== port_weapon_type ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.77}}<br />
<br />
Assigns the ship's port laser. <br />
Any weapon type from the [[equipment.plist]] can be used (and WEAPON_NONE). <br />
<br />
While not essential, you should generally assign the same weapon to [[#starboard_weapon_type|starboard_weapon_type]].<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"port_weapon_type" = "WEAPON_BEAM_LASER";<br />
<br />
== roles ==<br />
Assigns which [[role]](s) the entity should have, that can correspond to one specific, exclusive use, or several.<br />
<br />
The game engine constantly calls for generic roles to populate the universe. In the example below the ship in question will be considered twice as often (2.0) when a trader is called for, only one quarter as often (0.25) when looking for a hunter, and as often as any other pirate ships when looking for a pirate. Multiple roles are space separated. An explanation of the generic roles available in Oolite 1.79 or later is at [[Oolite_Ship_Roles]].<br />
<br />
'''NB:''' If the ship cannot be docked to, extra care should be taken to avoid using the words '''station''' or '''carrier''' as part of any of the ship's role names. When either of these words are inside the roles key, the ship is automatically given station attributes. Other ships might even fruitless try to dock with it, and it will affect how some ships / entities are shown on the scanner.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"roles" = "hunter(0.25) trader(2.0) pirate";<br />
<br />
or an exclusive role, simply:<br />
<br />
"roles" = "uniquely_named_role";<br />
<br />
This has the benefit of being the only ship to be selected when a [[Script.plist|script]] calls for the ''uniquely_named_role'' ship.<br />
<br />
An item from the [[commodities]] can also be named as a role, for when that commodity is floating in space and called upon, to be represented by a particular model.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"roles" = "Gold";<br />
<br />
Some roles are used by the game engine to populate systems, detect and define properties. (see also the [[System Populator]])<br />
Such roles include 'thargoid', 'missile' and 'energybomb'.<br />
Externally used equipment also needs specific mention of role, for example EQ_*_MINE and EQ_*_MISSILE.<br />
<br />

<br />
== rotational_velocity ==<br />
May be applied to a sub-entity, like the following entry to the [[Shipdata.plist#subentities|subentity]] spines of the [[Weeviloid Hunter]].<br />
Takes the form of [[Quaternions|quaternions]]. The following example enables rotation around the Z-axis.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"rotational_velocity" = "0.707 0.0 0.0 0.707";<br />
<br />
An explaining example taken from the Oolite Bulletin board.<br />
<br />
The rotational velocity key is rotation per second. For instance, if you want to rotate once per 20 seconds around the Z axis:<br />
<br />
a = 360 ° / 20 = 18 °<br />
<br />
[x, y, z] = [0, 0, 1]<br />
<br />
sin a ˜ 0.30902<br />
<br />
cos a ˜ 0.95106<br />
<br />
Q = (0.95106, 0, 0, 0.30902)<br />
<br />
'''shipdata.plist entry:'''<br />
"rotational_velocity"="0.95106 0.0 0.0 0.30902";<br />
<br />
In practical terms, one can therefore use <br />
"rotational_velocity"="3 0 0 1"<br />
To alter the speed of rotation increase number 3, for slower rotations, decrease for higher speed. For opposite rotational direction, change 1 to -1.[http://www.aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6899&p=93038&hilit=rotational+velocity+key#p93038 (ref: Arhuman BB 1/11-09)]<br />
<br />
== scan_class ==<br />
Will alter the model's appearance on the [[IFF system]]. If this line is omitted, it will usually become by default a standard ship entity (CLASS_NEUTRAL), appearing as a yellow flag on the radar (red if hostile to the player), but may be given a different scan class if added with other roles. There are other options.<br />
* CLASS_BUOY - green/yellow on scanner, will rotate in idle state, does not masslock<br />
* CLASS_CARGO - white on scanner, can be scooped, does not masslock<br />
* CLASS_MILITARY - purple on scanner, better pilots, will not attack other military ships, flashes purple/magenta if hostile to player<br />
* CLASS_MISSILE - cyan on scanner, will not avoid collisions<br />
* CLASS_POLICE - purple on scanner, will not attack other police ships, legal penalties for attacking, never has bounty, flashes purple/magenta if hostile to player<br />
* CLASS_ROCK - white on scanner, launched defense ships do not inherit scan class, does not masslock<br />
* CLASS_STATION - green on scanner, launched defense ships do not inherit scan class<br />
* CLASS_THARGOID - green/red on scanner, considered hostile to any non-thargoid ship<br />
* CLASS_NO_DRAW - invisible on scanner, cannot be targeted by missiles, does not masslock<br />
* CLASS_MINE - red/yellow on scanner, automatically set on mines launched by player to override existing scan class, does not masslock<br />
(This property was called "scanClass" before Oolite 1.74.)<br />
Scan classes marked as "does not masslock" will masslock the player anyway if they are hostile to the player (as condition will be Red)<br />
<br />
Scripts can define custom colours for ships on the [[IFF system]] so ships may have a scanner appearance different to the default for their scan class.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"scan_class" = "CLASS_ROCK";<br />
<br />
==== Developer Note ====<br />
Oolite uses scan_class internally to determine the behaviour of some ships (particularly with regard to who may shoot whom without incurring legal penalties). Bear this in mind and don't allocate CLASS_POLICE or CLASS_THARGOID to ships lightly!<br />
<br />
== scan_description ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.81}}<br />
<br />
The description of the ship's legal status on the [[Scanner Targeting Enhancement]]. If this is absent, the default text for the scan class will be used.<br />
<br />
"scan_description" = "Unclaimed rock";<br />
<br />
== scanner_display_color1 ==<br />
Overrides the color that would normally be set by scanClass.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"scanner_display_color1" = "greenColor";<br />
<br />
== scanner_display_color2 ==<br />
Overrides the color that would normally be set by scanClass. If this is set, the ship will flash between the two colours.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"scanner_display_color2" = "redColor";<br />
<br />
== scanner_hostile_display_color1 ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.81}}<br />
<br />
Overrides the color that would normally be set by scanClass when the ship is hostile and targeting the player.<br />
<br />
If no hostile colours are set, but normal colours are set, then the normal colours, not the scan class colours, will be used for a hostile ship.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"scanner_hostile_display_color1" = "greenColor";<br />
<br />
== scanner_hostile_display_color2 ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.81}}<br />
<br />
Overrides the color that would normally be set by scanClass when the ship is hostile and targeting the player. If this is set, the ship will flash between the two colours.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"scanner_hostile_display_color2" = "redColor";<br />
<br />
== scanner_range ==<br />
Sets a custom scanner range. Standard is 25.6 km, thargoids have 50 km. Only applies to NPCs. However, at least since oolite 1.65 all defined scanner ranges are limited to 25.6 km, even for thargoids. This means it only makes sense defining shorter ranges than the maximum range.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"scanner_range" = "25600";<br />
<br />
== scoop_position ==<br />
Determines the XYZ point on the model from which cargo is scooped. (default is 0,0,0)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"scoop_position" = "0.0 -4.5 -23.0"<br />
<br />
Scooping for a player ship starts when the cargo collides with the front half of the bottom of the ship. Any other place of first contact leads to smashing the cargo in pieces. A good y-value for the position would therefor be half the size of the lowest body part of this area of the ship. For the z-value a point in the back side would be better.<br />
<br />
== script ==<br />
Specifies a [[Scripting Oolite with JavaScript|JavaScript script]] (through it's filename) to attach to the ship. Ship scripts are the preferred approach for scripting ships in current Oolite.<br />
<br />
== script_info ==<br />
A property list whose contents are available to JavaScript scripts, for whatever use they desire. It is exposed to JavaScript as the <code>[[Oolite JavaScript Reference: Ship#scriptInfo|scriptInfo]]</code> property of <code>Ship</code> objects.<br><br />
Take note that when using an ascii plist, the JS engine will read in all entries as strings. When you need an entry as number, you might need to explicit convert it to a number. This is specially true for booleans as a "NO" string will be read as true. For all normal keys its Oolite that does the conversion for you.<br />
<br />
A short overview about used [[OXP_scriptInfo|script_info keys in OXPs]].<br />
<br />
== script_actions ==<br />
Gives an oportunity to insert events such as in [[script.plist]], to involve a specific shipdata entity. As seen in the following example, this particular object checks if Player has a cloaking device, and if not, will award it. Should Player already have it, the gift will be in gold. See also [[scripts within shipdata]] for more detailled info.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"script_actions" =<br />
(<br />
"testForEquipment: EQ_CLOAKING_DEVICE",<br />
{<br />
"conditions"<br />
(<br />
"foundEquipment_bool equal NO"<br />
)<br />
"do"<br />
(<br />
"awardEquipment: EQ_CLOAKING_DEVICE"<br />
)<br />
"else"<br />
(<br />
"awardCargo: 100 Gold"<br />
)<br />
}<br />
);<br />
<br />
== setup_actions ==<br />
Arranges a process that may be necessary for some objects, like ball turrets.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"setup_actions" =<br />
(<br />
"initialiseTurret"<br />
);<br />
<br />
<br />
== shaders ==<br />
The ''shaders'' dictionary has the same structure as the ''[[#materials|materials]]'' dictionary. When [[Shaders in Oolite|shaders]] are available, the contents of the ''shaders'' dictionary are used in preference to those in ''materials''. If shaders are not available, the ''shaders'' dictionary is ignored.<br />
<br />
== ship_name ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.79}}<br />
<br />
The name of this individual ship (e.g. Pride of Lave), which is placed in [[Oolite_JavaScript_Reference:_Ship#shipUniqueName|ship.shipUniqueName]]. It rarely makes sense to set this property in <code>shipdata.plist</code>, except perhaps for a unique mission ship.<br />
<br />
== ship_class_name ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.79}}<br />
<br />
The name of this ship's class (e.g. Sidewinder), which is placed in [[Oolite_JavaScript_Reference:_Ship#shipClassName|ship.shipClassName]]. If this is not set, it will default to [[#name|name]], which is usually suitable.<br />
<br />
== show_damage ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.81}}<br />
<br />
Whether to show sparks and other damage effects when this ship is hit.<br />
<br />
Defaults to on if energy recharge rate is greater than zero, off otherwise, for compatibility with previous hard-coded behaviour.<br />
<br />
== smooth ==<br />
Determines if the model will use glLightModel(GL_FLAT) or glLightModel(GL_SMOOTH).<br />
<br />
If true, then lighting effects will be interpolated across the polygons of the model, giving a more 'rounded' effect.<br />
<br />
Asteroids, Boulders and Splinters use this effect as do some other models.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"smooth" = yes;<br />
<br />
== spawn ==<br />
The spawn directory is only used when a ship is added with the command: "spawnShip: shipname". This command only allows to add one ship by name (not role!). The position and orientation are taken from a spawn directory that describes the position it is placed and the position it is looking at.<br />
<br />
Example<br />
"spawn"<br />
{<br />
"facing_position" = "spu 0 0 0";<br />
"position" = "wpu 0 0 0.2";<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
== starboard_weapon_type ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.77}}<br />
<br />
Assigns the ship's starboard laser. <br />
Any weapon type from the [[equipment.plist]] can be used (and WEAPON_NONE). <br />
<br />
While not essential, you should generally assign the same weapon to [[#port_weapon_type|port_weapon_type]].<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"starboard_weapon_type" = "WEAPON_BEAM_LASER";<br />
<br />
== subentities ==<br />
An array of ''subentity definitions''. A ''subentity'' is an object attached to your ship. There are several types of subentity:<br />
* ''Static subentities'', the default type, are simply extra models. They are defined as separate shipdata.plist entries, so technically they’re ships, but they don’t have a mind of their own. If the main ship is [[#frangible|frangible]], static subentities can take damage and blow up separately from the main ship. They can also be individually exploded or removed by scripts.<br />
* ''Docks'' are recognized when setting up a station or carrier, and used to determine the station’s docking port parameters. After set-up, they work just like normal static subentities. The string "dock" in lowercase must be part of the old style name in order to get recognised as the dock subEntity.<br />
* ''Ball turrets'' turn to track the ship’s current target, and shoot plasma balls if the target is within range (6000 metres). A ball turret’s field of fire is a 157 ° cone centred on its original facing. Currently, ball turrets make no effort not to shoot their own ship, so it is up to the designer to ensure this field of fire is clear. Like a static subentity, a ball turret is based on a shipdata.plist entry so its appearance can be customized. Oolite provides a built-in shipdata entry for ball turrets called, imaginatively, '''ballturret'''. <br />
: For discussion on the effective range (before the reduction from the original 7500 to 7200) see [http://www.aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?p=198854#p198854 here].<br />
* ''Flashers'' are blobs which glow with a pulsating light. From Oolite 1.74 onwards, constant light will also be an option. Note that while flashers appear luminous – they are unaffected by shadows – they do not cast light on other objects.<br />
<br />
=== New-style subentity definition ===<br />
Oolite 1.73 introduced a more flexible, dictionary-based way of specifying subentities. A new-style subentity is a dictionary using the following keys:<br />
{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%"<br />
|+ Subentity definition properties<br />
! Name !! Type !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| '''type''' || string || One of: “'''standard'''”, “'''ball_turret'''”, “'''flasher'''”. If not specified, “standard” is assumed.<br />
|-<br />
| '''subentity_key''' || string || The key of a ''shipdata.plist'' entry. Required for '''standard''' and '''ball_turret''' subentities, ignored for flashers.<br />
|-<br />
| '''position''' || vector || The position of the subentity relative to its parent. (This can be specified as a string with three numbers in it, or an array of three numbers, or a dictionary with '''x''', '''y''' and '''z''' entries.) Default: (0, 0, 0).<br />
|-<br />
| '''orientation''' || [[quaternion]] || The orientation of the subentity. Ignored for flashers. (This can be specified as a string with four numbers in it, or an array of four numbers, or a dictionary with '''w''', '''x''', '''y''' and '''z''' entries.) Default: (1, 0, 0, 0), which corresponds to no rotation.<br />
|-<br />
| '''is_dock''' || boolean || True if the subentity is a dock; false by default. Only applies to '''standard''' subentities. '''Note:''' this is ''not'' implied by having “dock” in the '''subentity_key''', as it is for old-style subentity definitions. In Oolite 1.76 or earlier a station may only have at most one dock subentity.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%"<br />
|+ Subentity definition properties for dock subentities (1.77 or later)<br />
! Name !! Type !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| '''allow_docking''' || boolean || ''In Oolite 1.77 or later'', whether the dock allows docking. Defaults to true. (and always true in 1.76). Ignored for non-docks.<br />
|-<br />
| '''allow_launching''' || boolean || ''In Oolite 1.77 or later'', whether the dock allows launching. Defaults to true. (and always true in 1.76). Ignored for non-docks.<br />
|-<br />
| '''disallowed_docking_collides''' || boolean || ''In Oolite 1.77 or later'', if this is true, ships attempting to dock here will collide with the dock if <code>allow_docking</code> is false. If it is false, ships attempting to dock here will be docked with the station anyway. Defaults to false. (and always false in 1.76). Ignored for non-docks.<br />
|-<br />
| '''dock_label''' || string || ''In Oolite 1.77 or later'', the name given to the dock by traffic control (overrides the display_name of the dock subentity). Defaults to "the docking bay", and ignored for non-docks. In Oolite 1.76 or earlier the concept of dock names is meaningless.<br />
|}<br />
See [[Multiple Docks]] for more information on dock subentities and stations with more than one dock in Oolite 1.77 or later.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%"<br />
|+ Subentity definition properties for ball turrets<br />
! Name !! Type !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| '''fire_rate''' || number || Interval between shots in seconds, for '''ball_turret''' subentities. Default: 0.5; minimum: 0.25.<br />
|-<br />
| '''weapon_range''' || number || Range for '''ball_turret''' subentities. Default: 6000; maximum 7200.<br />
|-<br />
| '''weapon_energy''' || number || Weapon energy for '''ball_turret''' subentities. Default: 25; maximum 100.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" style="width:100%"<br />
|+ Subentity definition properties for flashers<br />
! Name !! Type !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| '''color''' || [[Materials in Oolite#Colour specifiers|colour specifier]] || Single colour for a flasher. Ignored for non-flashers. Default value: '''redColor'''.<br />
|-<br />
| '''colors''' || array || Array of colour specifiers for a flasher. Ignored for non-flashers. Before 1.74, only the first entry was used. If not present, see '''color'''. '''Note:''' like [[#laser_color|laser_color]], flasher colours must be “reasonably bright”.<br />
|-<br />
| '''frequency''' || number || Pulse rate for flashers, in cycles per second. Ignored for non-flashers. If 0, the flasher will have full intensity all the time in Oolite 1.74 and later, but half intensity in earlier releases. Default: 2.<br />
|-<br />
| '''initially_on''' || boolean || Specifiers whether a flasher is turned on when created. Ignored for non-flashers. Default: yes.<br />
|-<br />
| '''phase''' || number || Pulse phase offset for flashers, in seconds. Ignored for non-flashers. (This value is simply added to the time to get the pulse parameter.) Default: 0.<br />
|-<br />
| '''size''' || positive number || Diameter of a flasher in metres. Ignored for non-flashers. Default: 8. (Why 8? I don’t remember.)<br />
|-<br />
| '''bright_fraction''' || number || ''In Oolite 1.77 or later'', a number between 0 and 1 defining the proportion of the flasher's cycle that the flasher is bright for. Ignored for non-flashers. The default (which mimics the behaviour of all flashers in 1.76 or earlier) is 0.5.<br />
|-<br />
|}<br />
<br />
=== Old-style subentity definition ===<br />
Prior to Oolite 1.73, this was the the only way to specify a subentity.<br />
<br />
An old-style subentity definition is a string with eight items separated by spaces. In the description below, words in bold correspond to keys in [[#New-style subentity definition|new-style definitions]]. There are two variants:<br />
<br />
==== Flashers ====<br />
For a flasher, the entry takes the form:<br />
*FLASHER* x y z hue frequency phase size<br />
''*FLASHER*'' must be precisely the string “*FLASHER*”, in capitals.<br />
<br />
''x'', ''y'' and ''z'' form the '''position'''.<br />
<br />
''hue'' specifies the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSL_and_HSV HSV] hue component (in degrees) of '''color'''. Saturation and value are always 1.<br />
<br />
'''frequency''', '''phase''' and '''size''' are the same as in the new-style format.<br />
<br />
'''initially_on''' is false.<br />
<br />
==== Other subentities ====<br />
For a non-flasher, the entry takes the form:<br />
key x y z qw qx qy qz<br />
''key'' corresponds to '''subentity_key'''.<br />
<br />
''x'', ''y'' and ''z'' form the '''position'''.<br />
<br />
''qw'', ''qx'', ''qy'' and ''qz'' form the '''orientation'''.<br />
<br />
'''type''' is ''standard'' unless the command ''initialiseTurret'' is present in the [[#setup_actions|setup_actions]] of the subentity, in which case it is ''ball_turret''. Note that the ''initialiseTurret'' no longer does anything when executed in a script; its presence is only used as an indicator to set the ''is_turret'' property when old-style definitions are translated. If ''initialiseTurret'' is inside a condition, it will be ignored. The ''initialiseTurret'' command is not required or useful for turrets which are only referenced using new-style subentity definitions.<br />
<br />
'''is_dock''' is implied by having the string “dock” (in lowercase) in the ''key''.<br />
<br />
== sun_glare_filter ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.79}}<br />
<br />
The default strength of the sun glare filter on this ship. A number between 0 and 1, with the default being 0 (no filter)<br />
<br />
"sun_glare_filter" = 0.3;<br />
<br />
== track_contacts ==<br />
Tracks the movement of the ship and sends a "CLOSE CONTACT" message to other ship AI's. It uses a time consuming tracking, so only set to true when actually used.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"track_contacts" = yes;<br />
<br />
== throw_sparks ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.73}}<br />
<br />
Each new ship should start in seemingly good operating condition, unless specifically told not to. (false by default)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"throw_sparks" = yes;<br />
<br />
== thrust ==<br />
Gives the entity an 'inertia' value, telling how fast it can increase or reduce speed (in m/s^2). 0 for rocks and cargo, 50 for a very fast ship, 100 for a station. When used with turrets it defines the turn rate in revolutions per second (with 1 being an average value). <br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"thrust" = "25"<br />
<br />
== unpiloted ==<br />
Used to designate items that will never have a pilot, thus never turn aggressive and never eject a pod. By chance factor, or true/false.<br><br />
It will not add a pilot when set to false, but will remove any existing pilot when set to true.<br />
commsMessages can only be broadcasted by piloted ships. Ships are by default piloted. cargo , rocks, missiles etc. are not piloted by default.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"unpiloted" = yes;<br />
<br />
== view_position_.. ==<br />
Sets the ship's 4 point-of-view positions in XYZ relative to the model.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"view_position_aft" = "0.0 5.0 -20.0";<br />
"view_position_forward" = "0.0 1.9375 5.0";<br />
"view_position_port" = "-11.85 2.825 -3.5";<br />
"view_position_starboard" = "11.85 2.825 -3.5";<br />
<br />
<br />
== weapon_energy ==<br />
This setting works differently depending on the type of entity it's used for:<br><br />
<br />
<b>Missiles.</b> Changes the damage inflicted by the missile. Any value accepted.<br />
<br />
<b>NPC ships.</b> Changes the forward weapon damage to a value different to the default one. Values higher than 50 will be clamped to 50. Does not change the value for aft weapons or subEntity weapons.<br><br />
<i><b>N.B.</b> It does not have any effect on player ships.</i><br />
<br />
<b>turrets.</b> Unused for turrets. Set the turret weapon_energy in its [[Shipdata.plist#New-style_subentity_definition|subEntity directory]].<br />
<br />
Default values are: WEAPON_PLASMA_CANNON = 6.0; WEAPON_PULSE_LASER = 15.0; WEAPON_BEAM_LASER = 15.0; WEAPON_MINING_LASER = 50.0; WEAPON_THARGOID_LASER = 12.5; WEAPON_MILITARY_LASER = 23.0<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"weapon_energy" = "17";<br />
<br />
== weapon_facings ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.77}}<br />
<br />
What weapon mounts are available on the ship. This is a bit-mask, so pick the mounts and add the numbers:<br />
<br />
1 - Forward<br /><br />
2 - Aft<br /><br />
4 - Port<br /><br />
8 - Starboard<br /><br />
<br />
Example: <br /><br />
Fore and aft weapon mounts only.<br />
<key>weapon_facings</key><br />
<integer>3</integer><br />
<br />
If omitted, defaults to 15 (all mounts). If a player ship has this specified, and the same property specified in shipyard.plist, the shipyard.plist property takes precedence.<br />
<br />
Weapons assigned to a mount that the ship does not have will be ignored. Scripting cannot be used to add weapons to these mounts later, either.<br />
<br />
== weapon_mount_mode ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.83}}<br />
<br />
This controls how multiple weapon mount points work. It has three possible values:<br />
* '''"single"''': this is the default, and replicates 1.82 and previous behaviour. In this mode, <code>weapon_position_*</code> properties are simple vector expressions, and there is exactly one mount per facing.<br />
* '''"split"''': In this mode, <code>weapon_position_*</code> properties are an array of vector expressions. A weapon fitted to this facing has the same heat and energy cost as a single standard weapon, and the damage output is divided equally between all mount points. (in other words, the distinction is mainly cosmetic)<br />
* '''"multiply"''': In this mode, <code>weapon_position_*</code> properties are an array of vector expressions. A weapon fitted to this facing has N times the heat and energy cost as a single standard weapon, and each mount point does normal damage. (in other words, the weapon is fitted N times at once)<br />
<br />
For best results with AI and the "target reticle sensitive" feature, if there are several weapon positions in a (rough) line, the middle one should be listed first.<br />
<br />
See [https://github.com/OoliteProject/oolite/pull/161 this comment] or [[Multiple Lasers]] for examples.<br />
<br />
== weapon_offset ==<br />
Removed after version 1.65 (it was used to change the offsetpoint of a plasma cannon.)<br />
<br />
== weapon_position_.. ==<br />
Plots the 'gunmouth' points of the model's 4 potential lasers.<br />
<br />
In 1.82 and earlier, and in 1.83 and later in the "single" <code>weapon_mount_mode</code>, these are vector expressions.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"weapon_position_aft" = "0.0 -5.0 -20.0";<br />
"weapon_position_forward" = "0.0 0.0417 16.6667";<br />
"weapon_position_port" = "-13.75 -2.0625 -1.875";<br />
"weapon_position_starboard" = "13.75 -2.0625 -1.875";<br />
<br />
In 1.83 and later, with "split" or "multiply" <code>weapon_mount_mode</code>, these values are specified as arrays of vector expressions. For example:<br />
"weapon_position_forward" = ( "0.0 3.0 32.0" , "-15.0 0.0 32.0" , "15.0 0.0 32.0" )<br />
<br />
= Station keys=<br />
The following keys are only used by stations or carriers.<br />
<br />
== allegiance ==<br />
An advisory flag that informs AIs how they should expect to be treated near or when attempting to dock with this station. See [[Oolite_JavaScript_Reference:_Station#allegiance|station.allegiance]] for the allowable values. If this is not set, the game will guess based on other station properties.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
allegiance = "neutral";<br />
<br />
== allows_auto_docking ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.75}}<br />
<br />
When set false for a station, this station will not allow the use of a docking computer. Default value in "yes".<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
allows_auto_docking = "no";<br />
<br />
== allows_fast_docking ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.75}}<br />
<br />
When set true for a station, this station will allow fast docking with the docking computer. Default value in "no".<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
allows_fast_docking = "yes";<br />
<br />
== defense_ship ==<br />
Gives an oportunity to designate a particular ship by name that will defend a station/carrier. See also [[Shipdata.plist#defense_ship_role|defense_ship_role]]<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
defense_ship" = "my_defender";<br />
<br />
== defense_ship_role ==<br />
Gives an oportunity to designate a particular (group of) ships that will defend a station/carrier. This has to be specified in the [[Shipdata.plist#roles|roles]] of the ship(s) that are assigned to defend. When launched from a carrier the scan_class becomes that of the carrier. Default role is "police"/"interceptor" for normal stations and "hermit-ship" for stations of CLASS_ROCK. Defense ships with scanclass police or with a hermit-ship role launch with a policeInterceptAI.plist. All other ships use the ai_type as defined in shipdata.plist. After launch, all primary roles are changed into: "defense_ship"<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"defense_ship_role" = " carrier_defenders";<br />
<br />
== equipment_price_factor ==<br />
Equipment price mask for dockables.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"equipment_price_factor" = "4.5";<br />
<br />
== equivalent_tech_level ==<br />
Sets shipyard tech level for dockables, different to the local system tech_level. Default value is the system tech_level.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"equivalent_tech_level" = 1;<br />
<br />
== has_npc_traffic ==<br />
Determines if a station launches NPC traffic. Default is "yes" for stationary stations, and "no" for stations with a non-zero maximum speed. When set to "no" the station will not launch random ships as part of the main Oolite system repopulator (though OXP scripts may still launch ships from it).<br />
<br />
The type of traffic launched depends on the [[#allegiance|allegiance]] property of the station (which also determines what, if any, ships may try to dock at it).<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"has_npc_traffic" = yes;<br />
<br />
== has_patrol_ships ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.75}}<br />
<br />
Determines if a station launches periodic patrol ships. Default is "no". Main stations always have patrol ships.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"has_patrol_ships" = yes;<br />
<br />
== has_shipyard ==<br />
Determines if a station or carrier has a shipyard. By chance factor as number between 0 and 1, but it can also be an array of conditions. Default is "no", but for main stations has_shipyard is always "yes". (Name is valid starting with Oolite 1.74. Before it was called "hasShipyard".)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"has_shipyard" = "0.75";<br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
"has_shipyard" = (<br />
"systemGovernment_number morethan 3",<br />
"systemEconomy_number lessthan 4"<br />
)<br />
<br />
== interstellar_undocking ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.75}}<br />
<br />
When set true for a station, this station will allow interstellar docking and undocking in interstellar space. When set to "no" the player docks in nearby normal space. Default value in "no". <br />
<br />
Example:<br />
interstellar_undocking = "yes";<br />
<br />
==is_carrier==<br />
Added as a tag for making the model be considered a carrier or station. An alternative to including ''carrier'' or ''station'' among the [[Shipdata.plist#roles|roles]]. When present this key even overrules station/carrier settings with roles. (Name is valid starting with Oolite 1.74. Before it was called "isCarrier".)<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"is_carrier" = yes;<br />
<br />
== market ==<br />
Key that sets the market for stations and carriers. The name defines the key in [[commodities.plist]] that will be used as local market. Without a market key, the stations primaryRole is used as market. Added with test release 1.74 and no longer used in 1.81 or later, where it is replaced by the market_* properties below.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"market" = "none";<br />
<br />
== market_broadcast ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.81}}<br />
<br />
If this is enabled the station's market will appear on the F8 screen if the player is in flight and has the station targeted. The default is enabled. This is ignored (and always true) if the station is the main station.<br />
<br />
"market_broadcast" = no;<br />
<br />
== market_capacity ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.81}}<br />
<br />
The capacity in units per trade good of the station market. If omitted, the default market capacity of 127 units will be used. This is ignored if the station is the main station as it will use the system market, not its own.<br />
<br />
"market_capacity" = 31;<br />
<br />
== market_definition ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.81}}<br />
<br />
An array of [[trade-goods.plist#Secondary_Market_Definitions|secondary market rules]] which modify some or all of the price, quantity, capacity and legal status of a good relative to the primary system market. This is ignored if the station is the main station as it will use the system market, not its own.<br />
<br />
"market_definition" = (<br />
{<br />
// export cheap clothes<br />
"type" = "class";<br />
"name" = "oolite-wearable";<br />
"price_multiplier" = 0.8;<br />
"price_randomiser" = 0.1;<br />
"quantity_multiplier" = 3.5;<br />
"quantity_randomiser" = 3.0;<br />
}, <br />
{<br />
// not really interested in other goods<br />
"type" = "default";<br />
"price_multiplier" = 0.55;<br />
"price_randomiser" = 0.25;<br />
"quantity_multiplier" = 0.0;<br />
"capacity" = 3;<br />
}<br />
);<br />
<br />
If the capacity set by a rule is larger than the market_capacity of the station, the market_capacity of the station is used instead.<br />
<br />
A blank array<br />
"market_definition" = ();<br />
will give a market identical to the primary system market.<br />
<br />
If this key is omitted, the station will have no market. This is roughly equivalent to<br />
"market_definition" = (<br />
{<br />
"type" = "default";<br />
"price_multiplier" = 0;<br />
"quantity_multiplier" = 0;<br />
"capacity" = 0;<br />
}<br />
);<br />
<br />
== market_monitored ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.81}}<br />
<br />
If this is true, the market is subject to Cooperative law for the import and export of trade goods, and the player will gain the usual bounties for smuggling contraband. The default value is no. This is ignored (and effectively always true) if the station is the main station.<br />
<br />
market_monitored = yes;<br />
<br />
== market_script ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.81}}<br />
<br />
Allows a [[Oolite Market Scripts|market script]] to be used to modify trade prices. This overrides market_definition, if it is present.<br />
<br />
market_script = "myoxp_marketchanges.js";<br />
<br />
== max_defense_ships ==<br />
Designates how many ships a dockable entity (station, carrier) can launch in defense. Default value is 3. See also [[Station Ships]]<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"max_defense_ships" = "10";<br />
<br />
== max_police ==<br />
Designates how many police or patrol ships a dockable entity (station, carrier) can launch. Default value is 8. See also [[Station Ships]]<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"max_police " = "10";<br />
<br />
== max_scavengers ==<br />
Designates how many scavengers or miners a dockable entity (station, carrier) can launch. Default value is 3. See also [[Station Ships]]<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"max_scavengers" = "10";<br />
<br />
== port_dimensions ==<br />
Defines the size of the docking port and takes 3 numbers, separated by "x". This key is generally of little use and can be skipped as it becomes overwritten by the actual size of the bounding box of the dock subentity when a correct dock subentity is defined.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"port_dimensions" = "65x30x500";<br />
<br />
Size of Oolites main-station dock is: 64.00 x 192.00 x 250.00 while the dimension of a rock-hermit dock is: 138.001 x 138.001 x 250.12 (W x H x L)<br><br />
These sizes may be relevant for ship dimensions as since Oolite 1.75 ships must fit in these docks to be allowed docking or launching.<br />
<br />
== port_radius ==<br />
Defines the size of the docking port radius. Or more precise, this is the distance from the station centre to the port location. Default value is 500. This key is generally of little use and can be skipped as it will be overwritten by the real position of the dock subentity.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"port_radius" = "500";<br />
<br />
== requires_docking_clearance ==<br />
Sets the requirement for docking clearance. Default is "no". See also [[Oolite_Docking_Clearance_Protocol_%28v1.72_or_later%29|DockingClearance]]<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"requires_docking_clearance" = yes;<br />
<br />
==rotating==<br />
Given to a station when rotation is desired. Default is "no".<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"rotating" = yes;<br />
<br />
== station_roll ==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.74.2}}<br />
<br />
Determines the rotation speed of a station. Default value is determined by the systemwide station_roll in planetInfo.plist. If that is not defined, the default is 0.4. Negative values are also possible for a rotation in the other direction.<br />
<br />
'''Note''': unlike the other turn rate properties, for historical reasons <code>station_roll</code> is measured in right-angles/second, ''not'' radians/second.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"station_roll" = "-1.5"<br />
<br />
==tunnel_corners==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.75}}<br />
<br />
Defines the number of corners in the docking tunnel. Ranges from 4 to 128. Default is "4".<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"tunnel_corners" = 6;<br />
<br />
==tunnel_start_angle==<br />
{{oolite-prop-added|1.75}}<br />
<br />
Defines the position of the first corner of the docking tunnel in degrees. 0 means the first corner is straight up. Default is "45".<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"tunnel_start_angle" = 0;<br />
<br />
==tunnel_aspect_ratio==<br />
Defines the proportion of the tunnel’s width to its height. Default is "2.67".<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
"tunnel_aspect_ratio" = 1;<br />

The '''Chuckwalla''' is a relatively massive heavy freighter, though in the opinion of some, just not quite massive enough.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
The Chuckwalla was developed with a singular vision: to knock the [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] off its perch. Sadly falling short right at the finish line, the engineers of Murgh Shipyard were never able to identify how the Anaconda manages to reach its immense cargo capacity within its allocated space, and still occasionally manage to pass within the dimensions of the [[GalCop]] standard dock frame. Nevertheless, the Chuckwalla shows a valiant effort with its maximised 700 TC capacity, and in a desperate attempt to compensate, manages to extract a .04 LM speed advantage over the cargo king.[[Image:Chuckwalla.png|thumb|200px|left|The small-scale prototype mockup used to validate false rumours.]]<br />
<br />
==False rumour origins==<br />
The initial documentation of the Chuckwalla proved to be sloppy journalism, as the initial prototype models built at a 1 to 20 scale –mere dummies for the purposes of research– were mistakenly believed to be the actual ship, and the widespread belief in the industry was that Murgh Shipyards had released yet another run-of-the-mill diminutive light multi-role ship. <br />
<br />
The sudden financial troubles of Murgh Shipyards did nothing to rectify this misconception. During its years under enforced administration, the firm were unable to amend this falsehood, nor was the planned launch of the near-finished Chuckwalla allowed to go ahead. Careers ended and years passed until the firm eventually again found its footing. <br />
<br />
An internal debate took place, over the decision wether to start fresh with a new name (a fraction fought hard to go forward with the new name "Baumschnüffler"), but stubbornness prevailed, and the Chuckwalla was finally unveiled as was initially intended. <br />
<br />
==Outcome==<br />
The agonising process endured from conception to mass-production proved too much for several employees at Murgh Shipyards. That the initial goals were never quite met left many with a sense of defeat, though others were able to see the result for what it was: quite a fine ship. <br />
<br />
Having spent so many years trying to match and surpass the cargo capacity of the Anaconda yet failing, one small group of obsessed engineers remained perpetually stuck in denial. The fact that the Anaconda with available 765,000㎥ within its frame can exploit 50 TC more than the 768,000㎥ of the Chuckwalla, became impossible to swallow. Years later they continue to claim that it is the Anaconda that needs to be investigated on grounds of false capacity claims, threatening legal action. To date, no law suit has been filed.<br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gecko-ship-art2.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The Gecko "dragonface" illustration that has inspired many decal versions.]]<br />
== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

<br />
== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*The hitherto unreleased [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]] (2022) motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (in both SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and Xpat should see some development as there exist some ideas for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one can realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been shifted from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

==Acknowledgements==<br />
*Nearly all the core ships are from Aegidian original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), with only minor additions of protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs, [[Smivs' ShipSet]] and [[The Classic Ships OXP|The Classic Ships]] were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flashers, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into this OXP.<br />
<br />
*Griff's lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />
<br />
*AI solutions and javascripting for the Vol.4 Cobra Clipper SAR was graciously provided by [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] who solved fundamental performance problems and improved upon the ship's behaviour in this author's absence. <br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gecko-ship-art2.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The Gecko "dragonface" illustration that has inspired many decal versions.]]<br />
== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*The hitherto unreleased [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]] (2022) motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (in both SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and Xpat should see some development as there exist some ideas for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one can realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been shifted from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

==Acknowledgements==<br />
*Nearly all the core ships are from Aegidian original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), with only minor additions of protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs, [[Smivs' ShipSet]] and [[The Classic Ships OXP|The Classic Ships]] were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flashers, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into this OXP.<br />
<br />
*Griff's lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />
<br />
*AI solutions and javascripting for the Vol.4 Cobra Clipper SAR was graciously provided by [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] who solved fundamental performance problems and improved upon the ship's behaviour in this author's absence. <br />

<div>[[File:What Spaceship IA.jpg|thumb|320px|right|The usual media hysteria: Here the cover of ''[[What Spaceship?]]'']]<br />
The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />
<br />

== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

<br />
== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*The hitherto unreleased [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]] (2022) motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (in both SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and Xpat should see some development as there exist some ideas for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one can realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been shifted from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

==Acknowledgements==<br />
*Nearly all the core ships are from Aegidian original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), with only minor additions of protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs, [[Smivs' ShipSet]] and [[The Classic Ships OXP|The Classic Ships]] were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flashers, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into this OXP.<br />
<br />
*Griff's lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />
<br />
*AI solutions and javascripting for the Vol.4 Cobra Clipper SAR was graciously provided by [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] who solved fundamental performance problems and improved upon the ship's behaviour in this author's absence. <br />

<div>[[File:NewClipperComp-750.png|thumb|right|400px|From the one style of expression, [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] chose to cultivate the simplistic retro style]]<br />
The acronyms '''RELOP''' and '''PROHIP''' compress the concepts of '''''Retro Low Poly''''' and '''''Progressive High Poly''''', referring to the low or high number of polygons used in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_mesh polygon mesh] of a computer graphics model, and whether the style of its use looks back to nostalgic ideals, or forward to push technical and creative boundaries. <br />
<br />
[[File:Spinning boa.gif|thumb|left|200px|The first [[Boa (classic)|Boa]], stylistic genius in simplicity.]]<br />
While the defining threshold of what is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_poly high or low poly] count is a subjective one, –and this has increased greatly with time and advancement in technology– in terms of [[Elite]] and [[Oolite]], there may be found a relative scale considering the very seminal wire-frame 3D graphics from which Elite came, to the possibilities that are now available in Oolite.<br />
<br />
==RELOPy style==<br />
[[File:IA skinkPlanet.jpg|thumb|left|280px|The [[Skink]] har 4 faces; can the envelope be pushed further?]]<br />
<br />
Elite gave birth to the stylised low poly space ship. Exactly to what degree the technical limitations of the times dictated the visual choices that were made, we just don't know, but in any event it gave birth to a ''style''. <br />
<br />
The famous classical Elite ship shapes average around a dozen polygons, and with time, these recognisable geometric shapes came to have meaning. The sight of a particular shape and one's ability to define the significance of that shape was central to the experience of Elite, and continued with Oolite from the beginning. <br />
<br />
Now, although the possibilities of creating shapes have considerably fewer limits, some enthusiasts opt to look back in reverence to the original simplistic form, as an essential part of what makes Elite/Oolite unique. This is the RELOPy school.<br />
[[File:GriffBoa planet.jpg|thumb|right|400px| At the other end of the spectrum –the [[Griff Boa]], famously featured in the "Oolite - It's not just for triangles anymore"]]<br />
==PROHIPy style==<br />
[[File:Griff Krait.PNG|thumb|left|280px|The [[Griff Krait]], another demonstration of the pinnacle of high-poly visual pleasure.]]<br />
What amounted to prudent use of polygons in the early 2000s isn't the case decades on. With a larger polygon budget, the possibilities for detail are expanded. <br />
<br />
The use of the term "high poly" is here exaggerated, because in another context, even a smoothly detailed object like the Griff Boa may be considered low poly. This isn't a case of Pixar models using supercomputers to render images, but it is a stylistic difference. <br />
<br />
The smartly designed PROHIPy object isn't indiscriminately high poly but still made a with modest polygon budget while making shrewd use of the mapping tools available to complete the illusion. <br />
<br />
Nevertheless, this is a stylistic choice of pushing forward to shape objects with more ornamentation, greater detail and realism, which is the essence of the PROHIPy school, or as the French would call it, ''École Griff''.<br />

The '''Iron Ass OXP''', or fully styled '''''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro OXP''''', is a series of ship retexture set expansion packages by [[User:Murgh|Murgh]], starting with volume 1 utilising the original [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]] models. When applied to the game, it will suppress most of the current native Oolite ships in favour of a dark, colourless, metallic monotone and primitive ship set, or optionally used as an additional shipset to add to one's Oolite fauna.<br />
<br />
Its name does mean to imply that these ships are excessively loaded with weaponry as the [[Iron ass|spacer slang term]] would suggest, but rather to signify that texturally this OXP is metal overkill. The sets may co-exist with [[WPB OXP|Iron Ass Witchpoint beacons]], the ambience packs [[Lave OXP|Iron Ass Lave]] and [[Missionaries OXP|Iron Ass Missionaries]], and their planned dirty sisters, the [[Rusty Ass OXP]]s. <br />
[[File:IronAssVol1Promo2.jpg|thumb|right|320px|The original ''Iron Ass Heavy Metal Dark Retro'' promotional teaser poster, at one time seen just about everywhere.]]<br />
==Overview==<br />
The Volume 1 OXP is a derivative work of which nearly all ship models are the original datFile models of our august founder Aegidian, dating back to 2004–05, with inspiration and *lore* inserts drawn from the text and images from [[Robert Holdstock|Holdstock]]’s ''[[The Space Traders Flight Training Manual|Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual]]'' “Observer’s Guide to Ships in Service”, and the classic OXPs of [[User:Smivs|Smivs]] who carried the Oolite retro low poly style (let’s call it [[RELOP]]y) to the next level.<br />
<br />
This series of OXPs aims at a different direction of “retextured core ships”, and tries to emphasise the tactile aspects of raw, gritty metal and an expression largely stripped of colour, a bit in the Soviet tradition, It adds a more primitive set of subentities, and tries to look further back to the feel of the ''Elite Manual'' as it inserts as many textual clues from the source as possible –to the extent of spoon-feeding– so one may be less dependent on the use of the ID scanner. <br />
<br />
Ships here adhere to the laws a mandatory all-out grayscale iron look, no fancy painted decoration –only what can be scraped into the metal. Colours are reserved for compulsory red-green signal lights, and any neglect in keeping on the traffic flashers is an admission of a criminal intent.<br />
<br />
Converse as this is to the trends of smooth design and intricate detail, this OXP is certainly not intended as any protest or revolt against the cutting edge progressive high poly work (let’s call it [[PROHIP]]y) of [[User:Griff|Griff]] and peers (Old Murgh is an avid fan). But sometimes, when the Ooniverse is partially populated with exquisite objects, the more ordinary ones tend to suffer in comparison, and sometimes, we need ugly.<br />
<br />
Those open to a more simple, uniform, anaemic and dystopic Oolite experience may consider running these OXPs.<br />

== Volume 1 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Titled '''Volume 1: ''The Aegidian Shipset''''', it nearly does what it says on the tin. However, the splendid Oolite native Thargoid ships, stations, hermitage, buoy, splinter, missile, cargo pod and such elements all remain undisturbed. <br />
<br />
From the main Aegidian fleet, two ships have been replaced: the the [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] (too fat), and the [[Asp (Oolite)|Asp Mk.II]] (too long and upside down), in line with the aim to stay close to the original Elite shapes. The Aegidian ships do still appear however, as infrequent bonus ships under a "Prototype A" label. <br />
<br />
The ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' [[Gecko (Oolite)|Gecko]] "dragonface" motif by the manual's unnamed artist has been widely emulated in several different styles across many other OXPs, but is here attempted, in a likeness as close as possible, to this modders ability, to resemble the original illustration.<br />

<br />
==Volume 2==<br />
===Details===<br />
Pretentiously titled '''Volume 2: ''Inception Cameos''''', the name attempts to convey that herein lies ships that were present practically since the beginning, but for whatever reasons were given smaller roles in the history and lore of Elite ships. This is of course just a superficial concept since they are hardly unknown, but they were never featured in the glorious manuals, and their lot was to be assigned various degrees of supporting cast obscurity. Quite a few of them are however, in the opinion of some, very cool ships. <br />
<br />
The 10 included ships in this package are the [[Bushmaster Miner]], [[Chameleon (Oolite)|Chameleon]], [[Cat AKA Cougar (Oolite)|Cougar]], [[Ghavial (Oolite)|Ghavial]], [[Gnat (Oolite)|Gnat]], [[Iguana (Oolite)|Iguana]], [[Monitor (Oolite)|Monitor]], [[Ophidian (Oolite)|Ophidian]], [[Salamander (Oolite)|Salamander]] and the [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk.II]]. <br />
The original ship designs are believed to be by Warren Burch & Clive Gingras behind the Bushmaster which appeared in [[Archimedes Elite]], by Ian Bell for the Cougar AKA Cat and the Gnat, and the rest by Angus Duggan author of [[Elite-A]] for the Chameleon, Ghavial, Iguana, Monitor, Ophidian, Salamander (not an official name), and by Rob Nicholson for the Wolf Mk. II, initially featured in [[MSX Elite]].<br />
<br />
The models were transcribed when possible thanks to the model collection of John Mackay ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211109004303/http://mackayj.doosh.net/ mackayj.doosh.net]), and estimated by eye when no source was available. In the case of Elite-A, its Encyclopedia Galactica provided some of the shipyard names used in this OXP, but in other cases names have been tied to established names by reasoning and style similarities. <br />
<br />
Young Murgh made the OXPs [[Wolf Mk.2 (Oolite)|Wolf Mk II]] in 2005 and [[Old Ships OXP|Old Ships]] in 2006, starting a long relationship with several of these ships and their unique shapes. They have also since been widely interpreted by many skilled modders, but with this Old Murgh closes his loop.<br />
<br />
These very same models (except for the Gnat which is brand new to this author) are the basis of this OXP, however the textural treatment is quite another, and a result of techniques and tools that were (to this author at least) unavailable in 2006. Here the desire is to have more homogenously tesxtured ships fit seamlessly with the Aegidian Shipset in the Iron Ass style, in way maybe a little like most ships did a bit more when Elite was young.<br />
<br />
As unaltered as possible from their [[RELOP]]y roots, only protruding weapons and engine barrels have been added to the 2005-06 models. Most of the ships are available for player ownership, except for the Gnat and the Bushmaster Miner which are uniquely NPC ships, due to their lack of hyperdrives.<br />

<br />
== Volume 3 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Aptly titled '''Volume 3: ''The Aegidian Xtras''''', the OXP contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that Aegidian released outside of the core game, quite a few of them bearing names that contained the letter X in some form. <br />
<br />
The [[Naga]], [[Hamadryad]], [[Ringhals]], [[Josher]] and [[Python Class Cruiser|Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface"]] from 2004, the [[Python ET Special]], [[Griffin_Two_(Oolite)|Griffin Mk.II]], [[Cobra Mk.2 (Oolite)|Cobra Mark II-X ]], [[Sidewinder-X|Sidewinder X]], [[Asp Mark II Special|Asp X]] and [[Mussurana]] from 2005, and the [[Pelamis]] from 2006, all rate as classics in my book, and fit seamlessly into the existing fleet of Oolite native ships.<br />
<br />
From the Aegidian OXPs: newships.oxp, PCC.oxp, griffin 2.oxp, Aegidian special.oxp, x-ships.oxp and pelamis.oxp (2004-2006), several of these ships have been already since been faithfully upgraded or reinterpreted, and some, as in the case of the newships.oxp, have not seen renovation for several years. <br />
<br />
[[File:Pcc-ship-art.jpg|thumb|left|320px|The illustration that inspired the Python Class Cruiser.]]<br />
In this case they are of course not recreated true to their original style, as in the case with [[User:Smivs|Smivs]]' [[The_Classic_Ships_OXP#The_Classic_Ships_suite|Classic Suite]], or given radical reinterpretation, as seen in [[User:Simon B|Simon B]]'s [[Neolite Ships]], but rather here, they are given the Iron Ass treatment, constrained to a metallic black and white scheme, made rugged and homogenic so as to emphasise their similarities, and suppress their differences. <br />
<br />
The models themselves are mostly as Aegidian left them, but with minor alterations. With protruding lasers and engine barrels only added to most of the models, a few models were altered to better fit this version of ships: the Python Class Cruiser, the Asp X, the Cobra Mk. II-X, Josher and Pelamis all underwent some model surgery, but hopefully remained true to the original shape design and are ''practically'' indistinguishable from their original shapes in what makes them unique and timeless.<br />
<br />
A mention must be given to the inspiration Aegidian used when shaping the Python Class Cruiser, the illustration by the anonymous artist published in the pages of the ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' capturing the concept of the most fearsome shark representation ever to be seen in space.<br />

<br />
== Volume 4 ==<br />
===Details===<br />
Tellingly, the instalment titled '''Volume 4: ''Young Murgh Relics''''' is an OXP that contains Ironassed retexture versions of ships that this author made in the period 2004-06, when he was young, and the ships would have seemed less antiquated.<br />
<br />
It is certainly no complete anthology, but it represents a digest of the many ships that were made, limiting this selection to the ones I find most interesting now. These are:<br />
*The annoying flea-sized [[Boyracer]] (2004) that got made in several gaudy colours, here reduced to two versions, the non-armed basic model and the armed "Packed Edition". Both with youthful, idiotic behaviour.<br />
*The two police ships from nuvipers.oxp (2005), the [[GalCop Viper Mark II|Viper Mk.II]] that certainly bore strong resemblance to the Frontier [[Viper 2]], although no good sources were ever found to do a faithful facsimile, and the Viper Cruiser, now rebranded as the fortified [[GalCop Viper Cruiser|Viper Tank]], armed with (working) twin turrets.<br />
*The refugee-saturated stretch [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the "[[Refugee Adder|Xpat]]" (2005) with the signature rotating drive, providing an air of near-defenceless misery that demands a player either nobly come to its aid or be confronted with one's own depraved character. <br />
*The [[Bandy-Bandy]], [[Chuckwalla]], [[Taipan]] and [[Rattle Cutter]] from the xships.oxp (2005). Here, due to a perceived imbalance of ship roles, the Chuckwalla has been upscaled and rebranded as a heavy freighter near [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] dimensions. The Rattle Cutter no longer has four lasers because it's plenty lethal with just one.<br />
*The search-and-rescue model [[Cobra Clipper SAR]] (2006) was the last ship young Murgh ever made, and which Iron Ass tendencies suggest that these volumes might as well have been made over ten years ago. But in the meantime, the generous [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] came to its rescue and javascripted the role behaviour to make it work as it was intended to. <br />
*The hitherto unreleased [[Fer-de-Lance Turbo Cruiser]] (2022) motivated by the desire to "lance about" in a retro-slendered [[Fer-de-Lance (Oolite)|Fer-de-Lance]] while simultaneously managing to satisfy one's demand for the kind of tempo that is provided by a turbocompressor.<br />
<br />
The Xpat, Rattle Cutter and the two police ships are NPC ships, while the Boyracers, Bandy-Bandy, Chuckwalla, Cobra Clipper (in both SAR and civilian issues), Fer-de-Lance Turbo and Taipan are player ships.<br />
<br />
The AIs for the Boyracer and Xpat should see some development as there exist some ideas for expansion. Later versions of the Xpat will hopefully include some more accidental scenarios with potential for rescue and rewards.<br />

== Ship data comparison ==<br />
Sometimes ship parameters ought maybe to have set slightly different than they initially were, one can realise in hindsight. In these OXPs, a few stats have been shifted from their original values, preferably little. This has only been done with the intent of balance, and in keeping with the scale that is established by the core ships. For detailed stats, expand the table below.<br />

==Acknowledgements==<br />
*Nearly all the core ships are from Aegidian original models from 2004–2005 (closely following the original designs of Ian Bell and David Braben), with only minor additions of protruding engine barrels and weapons nozzles.<br />
<br />
*The shipset formats of Smivs, [[Smivs' ShipSet]] and [[The Classic Ships OXP|The Classic Ships]] were very instructive, and some of his tireless pList legwork in plotting flashers, along with the very idea of having mandatory ship lights (for lawful space denizens anyway), have been gratefully appropriated into this OXP.<br />
<br />
*Griff's lovely medical Moray symbol "the space physician's star", is also used here.<br />
<br />
*The Inception Cameos ships are believed to be closely shaped after designs by Ian Bell (1984), Rob Nicholson (1987), Warren Burch & Clive Gingras (1991) and Angus Duggan (1997).<br />
<br />
*The Gecko "Dragonface" and Python Class Cruiser "Sharkface" are attempted to be as close as achievable replications of the artwork by a nameless artist, found in the original ''Elite Space Trader’s Flight Manual'' (1984).<br />
<br />
*AI solutions and javascripting for the Vol.4 Cobra Clipper SAR was graciously provided by [[User:Eric Walch|Eric Walch]] who solved fundamental performance problems and improved upon the ship's behaviour in this author's absence. <br />
