Overview
Spara masterminded thus collection of oxps which enhance and add variation to the Galactic Navy OXP by Nemoricus and to the Behemoth.oxp by Aegidian.
Spara started by ripping open the broken ADCK's Behemoths oxp and salvaging and repackaging models from it. For more images and references see the original ADCK's Behemoths thread on the Oolite BB. After that he retouched and fixed other GalNavy related oxps to revive them too!
Models and textures by Aegidian, ADCK, Nemoricus, PAGroove, SimonB and then by Spara. See the readmes in the oxps.

Updates all the models in the Galactic Navy OXP by Nemoricus (2011) and Behemoth OXP by Aegidian to new shadered ones. Does not add any new ship types, only replaces (with variants) the ones used in the aforementioned oxps. Requires at least the Behemoth OXP to do anything sensible.
For Oolite 1.79 and Behemoth 3.0 (2014) download version 1.4: https://app.box.com/s/pxaabwfgk2gz4bnyscl1
(For Oolite 1.77.1, download: https://app.box.com/s/xmu45mi3depwoz1x3huy)
Replaces some Navy Transport ships with Navy Light Destroyer ships. Ship modelled and textured by SimonB. Requires Galactic Navy OXP to do anything.

This does not seem to work on AppleMacs
Adds ADCK's navy destroyer ship with a Railgun as a weapon to the galactic navy. This was extracted from ADCK's Behemoths (2010) and has not been worked on since. Requires Galactic Navy OXP to do anything. And Railgun oxp too!

Included in Behemoth 3.1.1 (currently on the in-game Expansions Manager)
These 2 oxp's have been included inside it:
Behemoth 3-4 oxp v1.1.1
This is already included in the Expansions Manager's Behemoth!
Adds 8 (type 3) & 8 (type 4) uniquely named behemoths to the galactic navy. Requires the older Behemoth OXP by Aegidian to work.

This is already included in the Expansions Manager's Behemoth!
Adds SimonB's Navy Class Carrier to the Behemoths. Eight uniquely named Carriers are added to the original 16. Carriers are supported by Navy Sidewinders and feature Navy Thargon Collectors that clean up after fight. Requires the older Behemoth OXP by Aegidian to work.

Musings
This entire suite of oxp's is something of a mixed bag. Some of the updates look really good: the Navy Class Carrier & the Light Destroyer, and the Navy Tender. On the other hand, the stations and the Destroyer look decidedly clunky to this writer's eye.
Jackiebean was working on some updates back in 2018, but got devoured by the Witchspace Lobster instead.
While this writer has no knowledge of how well the oxp operates (other than providing a top-notch docking experience and lots of protection at the witchpoint beacons for the sector command systems). The battles are probably good, as the AI scripters were! The only real problem seems to be the balance-wrecking stonking oodles of loot to be picked up in the aftermath of battles!
The popularisation of the basic Galactic Navy oxp has badly suffered from the lack of license which prevented it being put up on the Expansions Manager when Oolite v.1.80 came out.
