Overview
The Wyvern was an attempt to combine a larger trading ship with a faster multiple-role craft, and it was an attempt that nearly worked. What the designers ended up with was a craft that had almost enough cargo room to be a trading ship, and almost enough speed and kick to be a combat craft.
It may have fallen between two stools in many people’s eyes, but to others it acts as a great all-rounder.
History
For years, ships of the Alliance of Independent Systems had contact with GalCop space. Sometimes as explorers, but usually as traders, they were welcome to most stations and planets.
When ADCK Transport Ltd acquired from unknown sources various blueprints from outer-GalCop ships the Wyvern Explorer was one of them. Against the advice of the design department, the decision was made to adapt this ship to the GalCop market. The unique engine caused nightmares to the developers and the first prototype didn't look promising. After the Wyvern Explorer I was introduced to the public, not many orders came in. Only permanent promotions with discounts up to 30% brought enough buyers to barely cover the costs.
Soon the management ordered a complete overhaul of the ship. With the help of a mysterious consultant, the Wyvern Explorer II proved to be much improved. Higher speed and more laser mounts were only some new highlights. While the II-P offered a ship for prospectors, the II-M is a real multi-purpose vessel featuring the original weapons of the Alliance model as standard. The acceptance was a lot higher and soon the number of clients began to raise.

- The Wyvern Explorer II-M is using a Linear Particle Accelerator as standard
Remarks
- This OXP features an adaptation of the multi-purpose vessel found in David Braben's Frontier game.
- The ADCK Wyvern Explorer OXP is based on the Wyvern Explorer OXP (2011, outdated) and the ADCK's FFE Ships OXP (2011).
- At some of the variants the engine could be shot off, resulting in a significant loss of speed of the target.
- The Linear Particle Accelerator is introduced as the original armament of the Alliance ship. It is the standard laser of the II-M and otherwise could only be found by clean players at a techlevel 15 facility. The LPA is a slightly modified version of the phased particle beam weapon from Pteradyne Technologies, Inc., all credits to Cmdr Wyvern.
