Sunskimmers OXP

Sunskimmers adds ships to the sun/planet corridor

Overview

There are three primary spacelanes in Oolite. The most populated is that between the Witchpoint Beacon and the Planet (WP). But there are two others in each solar system, running from each of these to the sun (WS & PS).

Dr Nils created his original sunskimmers to provide more traffic on the sun-planet spacelane.

As Oolite developed and more planets were added by OXP's, then secondary spacelanes were accordingly created.
