This OXP adds two versions of the Uruta from the Archimedes version of Elite. Very pretty additions to the variety of mid-range craft in the Ooniverse!

Both versions are medium traders / fighters. Each version has a very detailed model and texture and each comes with its own unique custom HUD.

The ships are well balanced, similar in performance to the Cobra Mark III, with each ship having its own strengths and weaknesses.

The ships are available to both the player and NPCs. Being true multi-role ships, they are seen in the hands of traders, pirates and bounty hunters alike.

Note on Nomenclature

While the download files are labelled "Uruta", on expansion/unzipping they create OXPs labelled "Urutu".

Download

The Uruta Mark III and Uruta Mark IV can be downloaded from Oosat2.

The Author seems to have been Milinks, back in 2006 - the original threads presumably having been lost in the Great Deletion. Milinks also crafted the Boomslang, CustomSounds OXP & S.I.R.F..

There seems to be no license for these OXPs, but many OXPs of this vintage were understood to rely on Oolite's own license.
