Sometime ago I posted some images on the [http://www.aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4494&start=3075#p172216 Screenshots thread] of the [http://aegidian.org/bb/ Oolite BB], of what is possible with [[Griff_Industries#Griff.27s_Normalmapped_Ships_OXPs|Griff's multi-decal Player Cobra Mk III]] OXP.

Overview

The Jaguar Company are Elite pilots who have banded together to combat piracy. They can be found in some of the more pirate-ridden systems.

The members of Jaguar Company are also part-time naval reservists so there is a chance that they will appear if there is a major Galactic Naval convoy in the system.

This OXP adds bases, ships, new equipment, a new missile and a black box locator.

History of this OXP

Sometime ago I posted some images on the Screenshots thread of the Oolite BB, of what is possible with Griff's multi-decal Player Cobra Mk III OXP. I mentioned that I have a lioness on the back of my Cobbie 3 hunters. El Viejo suggested that jaguars might be better. This formed an idea in my head and Jaguar Company was born.

Requirements
