New Cargoes OXP
New Cargoes is an OXP which allows trade specifically in such items as explosives, plasma turrets and evil poets.
The major specific variants of the firearms commodity are
- Hand weapons: Projectile weapons, lasers, plasma rifles, and other small arms
- Explosives: High explosives stored in bulk form, suitable for local conversion into grenades, warheads, or bombs as the situation requires.
- Plasma turrets: High power high-drain plasma turrets as found on large capital ships and major ground installations.
- Artillery parts: Spare parts and ready-to-build new parts for artillery and other heavy war machinery.
- Evil poet: The evil poet is classed as a Firearm for historical reasons. Do not open the canister unless you have control poems prepared, as they are generally stored in attack mode for rapid deployment.
