Three different low tech ships in a style based loosely on WW2 airplanes and a lot of artistic freedom. Without use of shaders.

Overview

These OXP adds some ships to the ooniverse with a look reminiscent of the 40's or 50's aircraft design, namely the Draco, Dragonette and Wyrm. It should sometimes add a pirate attack group which follows ships around until there are no cops in sight...


History

When first explorers from other worlds set foot on Anenmaqu (their exact identity is lost in time, but they definitely where of human descent), they were greeted with great hospitality by the jovial insectoids, that still mainly inhabit the planet. And they were astonished over the fervor this otherwise slack people showed when they partook in their favourite past time - the watching of the so-called, somewhat clumsily translated*, "dragon races" in low fi "tv". The primitive aircraft that the Anenmaquese racers used were of higher quality than all other technology on the planet, but still far from space age technology.

But this changed overnight. When the unnamed explorers returned to their dismantled, engineless shuttle they realised that they probably shouldn't have left an engine, far more powerful than anything the inhabitants knew beforehand, unguarded. Since then, the ships of Anenmaqu have been retrofitted versions of their racingcraft - the vehicles that almost every ounce of metal was bound in when the Anenmaqu insectoids entered the arena of intergalactic contact.
