Most of these are already available in OXZ format for Oolite v1.80. Check the Expansions Manager or their wiki pages. They have been optimised to take advantage of all the new features in v1.80, are available for download and should work as before, or even better in some cases. The remaining OXP updates may take some time as they need major overhauls, but progress is constantly being updated [http://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16516 here] on my BB OXP update thread.

All of these are available via the Expansions Manager, and are ready for Oolite v1.82.

CmdSmivs.jpg


Commander Smivs

A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away a young Cucurbitan known simply as Smivs cut his teeth in a Cobra spacecraft trading goods and collecting bounties to earn an honest crust. He enjoyed this life for just a few brief years before mysteriously disappearing, it seemed forever.
No one knew what had happened or where he had gone, but rumours were that his ship's C64 flight computer had failed on a mission leaving him stranded at the back end of nowhere.
And then, some twenty five years later he miraculously returned, older and wiser but penniless. Starting with a lowly Cobra Mk I he set about cleaning up the Ooniverse and doing a nice bit of trade on the side. He slowly built up some funds which allowed him eventually to upgrade to a Python, and then after a while to a Boa Class Cruiser, until today when you will find him flying the Iron-Ass Boa II Clipper Bilbo Maru.
People sometimes ask Commander Smivs where he had been, what he had seen and done in the intervening years, but they never get an answer. The mystery, the enigma will most likely never be explained. All we know is that the young seed has grown into a Gourd of distinction, and he now strides the Ooniverse like a Colossus, banishing evil, acting as a force for good, and generally making loads of money and having a damn good time.

BilboMaru.png

Bilbo Maru

The Bilbo Maru is a Boa II Clipper Class, bought new from the Gerege Federation Space Works by Commander Smivs to replace the Nemesis a veteran Boa Class Cruiser which after many years of sterling service was starting to get a bit tired.

She is very well equipped, and is a true 'Iron Ass'. As well as the standard Fuel Scoops, Heat Shielding and supplementary external Fuel Tanks the following equipment has been fitted.
Factory Fitted:-
Escape Capsule, 4 x Military Lasers, ECM, Naval Energy Unit, Docking Computers, Fuel Injectors, Advanced Space Compass, Scanner Targeting Enhancemant, Multi-targeting System, Target System Memory Expansion, Advanced Navigational Array, Shield Boosters, Military Shield Enhancement.

Carried over from previous ship:-
Cloaking Device.

Retro-fitted:-
Wormhole Scanner, Rock Hermit Locator, Beer Cooler, 5 x ECM Hardened Missiles, Galactic Hyperdrive.

Unlike many of the Cucurbita people, Commander Smivs has a fondness for animals, and he has added an image of Bilbo his pet Cat (a type of small furry carnivore from planet Earth) after who the ship was named, to the vessel's sides.

Total cost of purchase and fitting-out was 748 210 Cr.
