FE Shipyards

The last major project of G.E.T.'s Transport Arm, FE Ships transforms the core Oolite craft into their Frontier First Encounters equivalents and makes all of them flyable. The result: Larger hull capacities and an altered speed scale across the board. Every non-player (AI) ship is replaced by an FE ship, so that no 'unfair advantage' on either side occurs.

Here's the breakdown:

Frontier:FE ships' original prices have also been taken into account.

Benefits

FE Ships will, above all, be of benefit to traders and explorers, since Frontier and First Encounters increased the cargo capacity of all the original Elite ships.

For example, the Adder FE can boast a base 15 TC cargo hold, expandable to 30 TC with Oolite's cargo-bay extension. You will find this enhancement with FE ships across the board, including the now playable Gecko, Krait, Mamba, Sidewinder and Vipers.

To fly the new lightweight ships, you will need to install FE Ships Player alongside FE Ships.

For the full FE experience, use Normal Start and sell your Cobra III pronto!

At Lave, you will find available the Gecko, Krait, Sidewinder, Adder, and Cobra I. All will have the 'FE' suffix in-game.

Recommended upgrade paths for FE Ships Player:

Hunter: Gecko, Krait, Sidewinder, Mamba, Fer-de-Lance, Viper.

Trader: Gecko, Adder, Krait, Cobra I, Cobra III, Asp Explorer, and onward...

Geckos, Kraits, and Sidewinders have no docking computers, no military upgrades, no extra cargo holds, and all except the Krait no missiles. Their successful operation will prove a challenge. Enjoy!

Downloads

Once downloaded, just move or copy the two OXZs to

Oolite->Oolite app->GNUstep->Library->ApplicationSupport->Oolite->ManagedAddOns

They will then appear as installed on your OXZ list in-game.

The easiest way by far of getting FE Ships is via your Oolite Expansions Manager. Both components will be downloaded and installed together straight away.
