Overview

The Moray Medical Boat - series 01 - is the most common variant of the Moray Star Boat. Identifiable on the first view by its signal medi-red™ painted hull, the Moray Medical Boat usually carries a load of medical supplies, namely prescription drugs. It goes without saying that this peculiar combination - look and load - make it a common victim for piracy, too.

In contrast to the standard Moray Star Boat, the Medical variant can fit a Cargo Bay Expansion but comes without a factory-installed laser. It also cannot be enhanced with the Military Shield Enhancement. The Navy Medical Ship is a refitted Moray Medical Boat (Neolite), specially designed for battle-zone search and rescue.

When an update of the GalCop interstellar conventions prohibited medical ships from carrying heavy weaponry the Moray Medical Boat - series 02 was designed.

"An adapted Moray Starboat, a vast glowing yellow star on its hull—the sign of a hospital ship— came chugging out of the darkness..."
Robert Holdstock, chapter 2 of The Dark Wheel

The Medical Moray was not a part of any original Elite game, and snuck its way into Oolite by way of a cheeky community suggestion. When the ship yard expansion was introduced to the game and players were first able to own other ships than the Cobra Mk.III, it was suggested that since the "Moray hospital vessel" was mentioned in The Dark Wheel, it could be included in the new core ship line-up, and the impertinent suggester already had a medical custom paint job ready to flog.

Remarks

While in the The Space Traders Flight Training Manual (p.58, from Classic Elite) the dimensions are 60 × 25 × 65 ft, the current core-ship model measures 59 x 29 x 70 m. Note that Jane's Galactic Shipset restores many of the Oolite ships to something more resembling their original dimensions, for those so desirous.
