+ | The Outrider is the first ship to be produced by [[Taranis Corporation (Oolite)|Taranis Corporation]], a company co-founded by a former chief designer at [[Faulcon_de_Lacy|Faulcon deLacy]] and headquartered in the [[Sector1/Lerelace|Lerelace system, Sector 1]] (28 light years from [[Lave|Lave]])). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Taranis originally aimed to sell the ship for 100,000 Credits, but modifications to improve the hull rigidity resulted in a final price tag of 110K. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Initially, sales of the Outrider were modest at best. However, since its prominent appearance in the hit film "The Riedquat Connection", it has become much more popular with shipping firms, bounty hunters of limited means and - reinforcing its "dangerous" image - pirates. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Using the new popularity and some incoming profits, the Outrider Mark II was designed. While the hull and most specifications remained nearly the same, the ship did offer more cargo space, 4 mounts instead of 2 and an additional military shield enhancement. Soon, Commanders and companies started to replace their Outrider Mark I with the latest version. Even the [[Space Security Group (SSG)]] and the [[Bounty Hunter Guild]] began to place orders. | ||
+ | |||
+ | After the [[Galactic Navy]] picked the [[Navy Frigate]] as one of their capital ships, the navy variant Outrider Mark II-N was introduced. Originally intended to replace the [[Navy Viper]] the ship was used as a cheap alternative to the [[Viper (Oolite)|Viper Patrol]] by [[GalCop (Police)|GalCop space police]] instead. Currently, this fighter is only sold to [[GalCop]] institutions and trusted navies and organizations. However, there are rumors that, once in a while, a "vanished" ship could be found on the gray market. | ||

Overview
A relatively well-fitted freighter escort, capable of offering serious resistance to the modern generation of fast attack ships, yet affordable enough for the mass market.
The Outrider matches the Sidewinder for speed but not maneuverability. It is relatively big for a vessel of its type, and despite its size, offers little room for cargo. On the other hand, it is on a par with the much larger Cobra Mark III in terms of resilience.
The ship is fitted with a pulse laser as standard.
History
The Outrider is the first ship to be produced by Taranis Corporation, a company co-founded by a former chief designer at Faulcon deLacy and headquartered in the Lerelace system, Sector 1 (28 light years from Lave)).
Taranis originally aimed to sell the ship for 100,000 Credits, but modifications to improve the hull rigidity resulted in a final price tag of 110K.
Initially, sales of the Outrider were modest at best. However, since its prominent appearance in the hit film "The Riedquat Connection", it has become much more popular with shipping firms, bounty hunters of limited means and - reinforcing its "dangerous" image - pirates.
Using the new popularity and some incoming profits, the Outrider Mark II was designed. While the hull and most specifications remained nearly the same, the ship did offer more cargo space, 4 mounts instead of 2 and an additional military shield enhancement. Soon, Commanders and companies started to replace their Outrider Mark I with the latest version. Even the Space Security Group (SSG) and the Bounty Hunter Guild began to place orders.
After the Galactic Navy picked the Navy Frigate as one of their capital ships, the navy variant Outrider Mark II-N was introduced. Originally intended to replace the Navy Viper the ship was used as a cheap alternative to the Viper Patrol by GalCop space police instead. Currently, this fighter is only sold to GalCop institutions and trusted navies and organizations. However, there are rumors that, once in a while, a "vanished" ship could be found on the gray market.
Model comparisons
- The Outrider Mark II-N could only be bought in systems with a government of 2 (multi-government) or lower and only on stations not regulated by GalCop law (station allegiance different to GalCop).

The Outrider is used by various individuals and organizations, so different hull paints could be seen on the space lanes:

Remarks
- The Outrider Mark I is a slightly tweaked version of Roberto's original OXP, all other ships were added with V 2.00.
- This OXP includes an overwrite of the Taranis.OXP. While Roberto designed defense fighters, the station actually never used them. The AI is also corrected.
- The Outrider Mark II-N could only be bought in systems with a government of 2 (multi-government) or lower and only on stations not regulated by GalCop law (station allegiance different to GalCop).
- Remember, the purchase of this ship is still restricted.
Credits
- Roberto aka Robert Todd (author, model, basic textures and specifications)
- Griff (model and basic textures of the escape capsules)
- another_commander (basic specular map of the escape capsules)
Thanks to Murgh, Selezen, Giles, Draco Caeles and others for their advice, and to Daniel Walker for his texturing guide !
