Aquatics OXP
From Elite Wiki
Overview
My first released OXP, introducing the product line from the Aquarian Shipbuilding Corporation of Aqualina in Galaxy 3.
These are mostly military, developed for the Sector Wars (see Vortex OXP).
A new range of ships for a wide variety of uses and credit accounts. Also a new HQ station is added to Aqualina (the former colony of Ribiara), and a mission can be undertaken there for a suitably experienced (Dangerous) commander.
Editorial Comment: Running Aquatics.oxp makes a tour of Aqualina a visit to one of the Wonders of your Ooniverse! It will really put Galaxy 3 on the map.
