 Trident Down is a multi-stage non-linear mission set scripted by [http://www.arcadia-digital.net/steve/Oolite/Oolite.html Ramirez] and includes a range of new ships, stations and weapon systems.  Among the new models are variations of resources originally produced by Ramon, Dr Nil, Griff, Giles, Murgh, Wombat and LittleBear, plus some others specially created for this OXP.

-Trident Down features a complex multi-threaded storyline with 9 different possible endings, involving over 150 mission briefing screens amounting to around 19,000 words of text.  The OXP adds several new ship and station variants, advanced weapon systems, new AIs and hails, and changes to Systems in response to events.

 Once installed, the first event will occur when you are docked at a main station in Galaxy 4 with a combat rating of Dangerous or above.  In addition to briefings received directly from various organisations, news reports will keep you up to date on the latest events.  Be aware that these updates are only available from main stations, however, and so you should make a point of checking in every so often for any details on developments.
 Trident Down is non-linear in structure and failure is often an option.  If a task does not succeed, you should report back to your contact or follow any instructions and attempt to remedy the situation.

 "Easy" to "Iron Ass".  The missions you face increase in difficulty as you progress - not only will your opponents become stronger but you will also receive less guidance on how to complete your objectives.  You will often only have one chance to succeed, and failure can open open up a whole new set of problems that need to be solved.

 Among the new powers and organisations featured are the GalCop Anti-Terrorism Unit (the ATU), Jane's Shipyard Intelligence, The Bianti Telegraph, The League of Anarchists and OKB Korshkov, as well as a large cast of individual characters all with their own political agendas.
