== Overview ==
The Coluber CRR-5375 Red Racer is a fast, heavy long range fighter. It´s primary field of application is to act as escort for cargo ships that want to visit political unstable systems.

The Red Racer is something between an Asp MK 2 and a Cobra MK 3. Faster than a Cobra, but slower than an Asp, more cargo capacity than an Asp, but less than a Cobra. This ship has VERY good dogfight abilities and can be equipped with strong shields. Thus is quite popular with pirates and bountyhunters alike.

The ship is being developed and produced by the Coluber Works and Shipyards Ltd. located in the [[Sector1/Riredi|Riredi]] system, Xexedi cluster in galaxy one.

=== Coluber ===
"Coluber" is a genus of fast moving, nonvenomous snakes commonly known as racers. Racers are not harmful ... ... as long as you leave them alone! But if you goad them, they become VERY aggressive. The nature of the ships Coluber Ltd. produces is similar.

== Notable features ==
A special [[CB-HUD Mark II|HUD]] design for the Red Racer is included: 
[[File:Crr hud pic 001.png]] 
If you want to use the CRR-HUD, just edit the shipdata.plist and delete the two slashes in front of the line "hud = cb68_crr_hud.plist. Or just put the stand-alone-version of CRR-HUD into your addons folder.

*1) Red: Standard
*2) Grey: Riredisec Inc
*3) Red: Buccaneer
*4) Green: Fist of Alecto
*5) Yellow: 'Tis a mystery!

*The standard version is detailed above
*Riredisec Inc. have commissioned a special variant of the Red Racer from Coluber to act as escorts when needed for their other delivery ships.
*Buccaneer versions exist - these are well equipped and deadly in combat.

:It is rumored that some members of the Fist of Alecto, a secret society of bounty hunters, fly a special version of the Red Racer that is invisible on normal scanners. But if you ask me, that stories are just the same seaman´s yarn from the spacelanes as the stories about the deadly wonder worm, the mystic queen of the trumbles or the "Flying Dutchman" cobra MK 3 that guides the lost souls of those who die in witchspace back home.

== Download ==
You may download the latest version here: [https://www.box.com/s/m52isljaxgt7x0bs26n6 standalone Red Racer OXP] (November 2012)

I have added a save-file containing a fully equipped Red Racer for those who just want to make a quick testflight.

For those who want to customize the Red Racer I have also added the GIMP and WINGS3D sourcefiles in the .ZIP-archive. The use of the sources makes customizing much easier. But be careful: playing around with .OXP´s is highly addictive!
