Freighters can fly in large groups, fugitive convoy leaders worth high bounties.
Contents
Overview
Freighters can fly in large groups occasionally. Small ships also make larger formations sometimes to defend themselves, as well as pirates, hunters and police, especially in bad governments. Leaders of convoys are usually well armed ships but local authorities pay very high bounties for the most wanted fugitive leaders.
This OXP as well as organising convoys, structures them too. So for a convoy of Pythons, for example, one will now find Python Leaders, Python Team Leaders, Python Pirate Bosses - very high bounty & Python Pirate Leaders - high bounty (depending on whther the convoy is trading or piratical).
The variant version (Convoy leaders without bounty labels) is just the same, but the bounty levels are not indicated in the title of the ship. The bounties are otherwise unchanged.
Requirements
- Oolite v.1.79 or newer
- Escort Formations by Cim
Supplements
- Freighter Convoys also by Norby is a smaller ambience-level variant of this OXP, which affects ambience but not mechanics/behaviour
Alternatives
As mentioned above, Convoys & Convoy leaders without bounty labels are two variants of the same idea.
