List of OXPs

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

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

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

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... Old Murgh 2021

BB post 2021

Ancient BB posts...

• On lobbying for the banishment of the Oolite "smart bomb" (thus birthing the cascade mine) (2004)
• On pitching the OoTrumble look (2005)
• On first finding Elite (2006)

And a recent one

(Because I chuckle for a long time every time I see it, I need easy access to the link).

• Re:NSFW (2022) cbr's obscene streaking bat-robot ship, Oolite's first and only X-rated image.
