Staer9's Shipset

Summary

This OXP has been developed by Staer9 and uses full shaders to create some (hopefully) great looking ships, it is based on the Neolite Companion OXP and therefore replaces the ships from the following OXPs: Old Ships, Aegidian's Specials, Aegidian's X-Ships, and Python Class Cruiser.

Please note that this OXP does NOT replace any core ships, it adds a variety of extra ships to the game, all the ships are nicely balanced and the ships shouldn't be any harder for the average Jameson to kill.

The ships are styled similarly to Griff's ships and are designed to be used alongside his shipset.

Version 1.1

Version 1.1 is an update made by Keeper with Staer9's blessing:

• Features new specular maps, specular values, and altered textures for all ships.
• Uses ahruman's shaders for random colour schemes, engine and weapon glows, and hull lights.
• Some other alterations, e.g. size of exhaust reduced on some ships to keep them within the model.
• Includes Staer9's fix for the Bushmaster's engines, and a fix for the Iguana's subentities.
• Adds a Monitor II, with specs from the wiki.
• Removes the Ophidian, as it is redundant now that Griff has released an Ophidian (albeit with different specs).

The ships now will react to light much better, looking shinier where need be. The main thing is the random colour schemes.

Issues:

• The in-flight views of player ships still need editing. These are the same issues that V1.0 had.
• I haven't yet seen the Bushmaster in action (only on the spinner), so I can't guarantee its exhausts will look perfect yet.
• The Cat's right gun model has inverted faces thus it does not display properly. Staer9 has designed an entirely new Cat that will make this issue moot once it's released.

NOTE: If your system doesn't support shaders, you may not want to bother with this version (other than the new Bushmaster engine model), as the colours that had been on the ships have been removed or greatly reduced in order for the random colouring to be applied by the shaders.
