OXPs

Murgh advertising attempts a comeback with an aggressive ad campaign to promote Murgh's frugal, rust-covered ships. Another abandoned project

New OXPs of Old Murgh

Iron Ass OXPs, (2022), black&white, retro low-poly metallic grit series:

Vol.1, The Aegidian Shipset, retextures of Aegidian's core ships.
Vol.2, Inception Cameos, a set of old Elite fringe classics.
Vol.3, The Aegidian Xtras, retextures of Aegidian's OXP ships.
Vol.4, Young Murgh Relics, retextures of some Murgh OXP ships.
Vol.5, Massives, retextures of some Aegidian, ADCK and Murgh OXP outsize ships
Vol.6, WIP

Iron Ass Lave, The old Lave.OXP in Iron Ass clothes.
Iron Ass Missionaries, Dr.Nil's classic Missionaries.OXP, expanded in Iron Ass clothes.
Iron Ass WPB, low TL systems anachronous Iron Ass Witch Point Beacons

PROHIP Xpat Adder (2022), junkyard-job refugee ships, but in progressive high-poly style.

Griff's advert interpretation of the once gloriously ambitious Murgh's Shipyards reduced to a dubious used space vehicle dealership.

Old OXPs of young Murgh

Murgh Shipyards were based at Teorge

Ships

A Woma fuel transport which ought not to be fired upon.

M-Pack or "rusties" (2004) populating the spaceways with the sadly deteriorated ships of destitute pilots, also for sale!
Wolf Mk.2 (2005) –with detachable fangs, a loosely transcribed classic.
NuVipers (2005), increased GalCop might with the GalCop Viper Mark II and the GalCop Viper Cruiser.
Murgh's xShips (2005), introduced the odd models Bandy-Bandy, Taipan, Chuckwalla, Eel Rapier, and the gruesome Rattle Cutter.
Transports (2005), Liners Coral and CoachWhip, and fuel transport Woma.
Old Ships (2006), some painstaking model transcribing from unearthed ancient blueprints.
Racers (2006), prototypes for a racing league that never happened, speed beasts Chicaneer Mk.IV and Mk.IV, and Dragster Mk.I and Mk.II.
Cobra Clipper SAR (2006), a search-and-rescue pimp job.

Ships with idiosyncratic AI

Hatchling BoyRacers (2004) and their obnoxious owners.
Hognose Tugships (2005) towing various ships, with experimental touchy rudeness
Refugee Adder (2005), shoddily modded refugee ships full of desperate people. Maybe not so funny.
Frog Space Rickshaw (2006), a chatty taxi service.

Tight pursuit of a Paddy Restaurant junk at Lave.

Planetary systems

Lave OXP (2006) - inspired addition of the lore from The Dark Wheel - advertising Droidships, restaurants, the moon Basta, incompetent student pilots.
Diso OXP (2006) - the first second planet in Oolite. Also the first second (well-armed Octahedral) orbital station. With extra added nebulae!

Dockables

Globe station (2006)
Torus station (2006)

Activities

hOopy Casino (2006) - Primitive space gambling (scored by the moody stylings of Jonny Cuba) in the spirit of the classic street con "shell game" or "cups and balls".

Carrier class starship, The Leviathan.

Missions

Military Fiasco (2006) - a call to duty by Col. Docherty adds a sticky mission and some nasty navy vessels including carrier class starship, The Leviathan...

Ambience

Murgh's Custom/Replacement Sounds (2004) - Some other SoundFX to consider, a bit more subtle alternatives.
WPB OXP (2005) - An oldskool WitchSpace beacon, improved by Svengali, eventually a 2022 Iron Ass touchup by Old Murgh

Sandbox

Murgh's sandbox

Permission to update his .oxp's

...of course you may feel totally free to update any of the old OXPs or otherwise make use of the old scraps if they can still hold appeal. It would be very cool for me if something from so long ago could even in a small part manage to survive through the ages, along with the simple and brilliant concept of Oolite...

Ancient BB posts...

And a recent one

-Initially scouted from the factory floor of [[Genfun]] by the august benefactor [[User:Aegidian|Aegidian]], who saw beyond the excessive exuberance of the young sycophant and took notice of his sickly cute tweaks to the latest genetic modifications of the [[Trumble]] menace. He was taken from obscurity and given the means to try his hand on material construction in a few diverse fields. A brief but chaotic reign running the [[Murgh Shipyards]] saw the construction of several ships and stations, as well as running a space-taxi service and an advertising firm on the side, with varying success.

-Perhaps fundamentally unsuited to the pressures of such widespread consumer demands, his career came to a sudden halt in the middle of the production of a new announced [[Racers|racing league]], as shoddy work was found strewn about, dumbfounded investors left empty-handed, and the supposed creator nowhere to be found.
