Overview

Designed along the same line as the Imperial Courier, in the Imperial Navy's Battle Line, the Imperial Trader is a troop transport/boarding vessel.

In civilian life, it does, however, commonly fulfill the role it's name belies.

People venture into space for all sorts of reasons - to live the life they want to live, to make money, impress women, explore the galaxy etc. etc. - This ship will enable you to do all of these things.

Get one as soon as you can.


The Imperial Trader is a military vessel found in the service of the Achenar Empire from David Braben's Frontier game. It is one of a set of three: Imperial Courier (Oolite), Imperial Explorer and this one. These ships have nothing to do with the Imperial Lictor, Imperial Censor, Imperial Qaestor etc from Dictators OXP.

In Oolite various variants of the Imperial Trader exist, some of them outdated while others unmaintained. This page is trying to offer some help for your decision which OXP to install.

ADCK's Versions (2010 & 2011, updated 2022)

Overview

The Imperial Trader from ADCK Transport Ltd is an adaptation of the military vessel found in the service of the Achenar Empire. While inferior to the technology of the Imperial Navy this is a notable vessel for GalCop standards.


History

For years, ships of the Achenar Empire could be spotted in GalCop space, although these encounters were rare. This changed when ADCK Transport Ltd acquired from unknown sources various blueprints from outer-GalCop ships. Adapting this ships to conventional technology caused nightmares to the design department, but finally the Imperial Trader was introduced to the public.

While the ship proved to be a great success, after years of pressure from the authorities the company was forced to stop the production and introduce 2 specialized alternatives instead.

The T-01 (transport) is a well armed trader while the C-01 (combat) is a powerful vessel for individuals and organizations in need of a significant weaponry. Though officially a license is required to own a C-01 a quick check of the shipyards will show that this regulation is widely ignored.

Remarks
  • This OXP's features an adaptation of the military vessel found in David Braben's Frontier game.
  • The ADCK Imperial Trader OXP ships are based on the Imperial Trader OXP (2010, outdated) and the ADCK's FFE Ships OXP (2011). Most specifications
of the T-01 are from Dertien's version of the Imperial Trader (BBS Shippack OXP).
  • With V 2.10 the Achenar Pulse Laser Class 2 is introduced as the armament of the Empire ship. This weapon is not available on the open market.
Additionally at some variants the engines now could be shot off, resulting in the loss of speed and a laser mount of the target.


Credits

All OXP's:

  • David Braben (Frontier game)
  • ADCK (author, models, basic textures and specifications)


ADCK Imperial Trader OXP:

  • Dertien (basic specifications of the T-01)
  • Slartibartfast (various modifications and corrections)
  • Griff (model and basic textures of the escape pods)
  • another_commander (basic specular map of the escape pods)


Requirements

Oolite V 1.88 or higher.


Compatibility

If you are currently flying the player-ship from ADCK's FFE Ships OXP and install the updated ADCK Imperial Trader OXP you will face some changes after installing :

  • Your energy is a bit decreased, while your trust is a little up.
  • The ship texture is replaced with materials using the latest standards.
  • The after view and the weapon positions are corrected.

Otherwise, both packages don't interfere with each other.


Tweaks

To remove the big grey blob from the ADCK FFE Ships OXP version rear view (due to the view being located inside the rear engine!) try changing the aft view in the shipdata.plist from 

<key>view_position_aft</key> 
<string>0.0 20.0 -31.0</string>
  • to (Dertien's tweak):
<key>view_position_aft</key> 
<string>0.0 15.0 -51.0</string>
  • or to (Slartibartfast's tweak):
<key>view_position_aft</key> 
<string>0.0 0.0 -35.0</string>
  • In ADCK Imperial Trader OXP this error is corrected
  • See How to tweak OXZ's if you need more details

Dertien's Versions (2013 & 2014)

Overview

The Imperial Trader from Beyond Boarders Solutions (BBS) is a re-design of the military vessel found in the service of the Achenar Empire. The ship is mostly used as a freighter, sometimes as a merchant.


History

Not long after ADCK Transport Ltd introduced their Imperial Trader to the public Beyond Boarders Solutions (BBS) launched their version of the ship. Based on studies of the existing vessel and some deep-scans from Empire sightings their designers used a new approach. The result certainly looked apealing, had more cargo space and pylons but was rather slow. Soon the nickname Imperial Wagon was widly used by the spacers.

Remarks
  • some notes from the author:
This is the BBS Imperial Trader, with rotating nacelles which has been hopefully balanced enough to "play nice" with the stock Oolite ships.
This is an updated version of the BBS Trader, which uses the shader to change parts of the ship's color. You can no longer change the color alas, since now random coloring by shader has taken over that work, you will have to wait till you see a color scheme you like at your favorite shipyard.
Thanks to Griff, this version has random colors, lasers that heat up red, engines that glow... the full monty. Griff was so kind to write this custom shader based on his Arc Elite set and especially adapted to this ship. Without Griff, and his texture notes this pack would not be so diverse, nor would it be released like it is now. Thank you my friend.


Credits
  • David Braben (Frontier game)


A big thank you to:

  • Giles Williams, Jens Ayton and contributors for Oolite.
  • Griff, for the shaders file he took the time to write to help me create this ship.
  • All the other enthusiasts on the forum.


Requirements

ZZ_GrOovy_bbs_EagleMk1.oxp (included in the BBS Shippack OXP). This oxp requires the BBS_Eagle Mk1 since I used that oxp as its escort.
You can always change the escort type ship in the shipdata.plist should you not want to install the Eagle Mk1 for some reason.


Tweaks

Dertien intended to give the player ships 3x fore lasers which, unfortunatly, resulted in none. To get a least 1 fore laser you need to look in the shipdata.plist for 

//forward_weapon_type = "WEAPON_BEAM_LASER";

and replace it with 

forward_weapon_type = "WEAPON_BEAM_LASER";

in my editor it would be line 20.


To replace the Eagle Mk1 with generic ships as an escort you need to look in the shipdata.plist for 

 escort_ship = "bbs_eagle_mk1_escort";

and replace it with 

 "escort_role" = "escort-medium";

in my editor it would be line 9.


Download

All three Imperial ships (plus 32 others!) could be found in the BBS Shippack OXP:

For the full list of the ships in this package see here


All NPC's in this package will switch on their green and red navigation lights when in the docking queue by installing this additional oxp:

Please check the tweaks to see how to fix some of the existing errors.
