Overview

A ships expansion which provides some new variants of Thargoid Warships and Tharglet/Thargon Robot Fighters. Each have their own characteristics, which can be found through play (if you really want to know, look on the Second Wave ships page).

Versions 1.30 and onward include shader effects, courtesy of Eric Walch.

From the 2008 BB thread

To go alongside the new larger Thargoid ships introduced by various other OXPs, I thought it would be nice to have some variants on the existing basic Thargoid Warship and Thargon (or Tharglet) Robot Fighter.

So I would like to introduce Second Wave OXP, which brings in some new variants of both to give some different in-game experiences. I shan't give details here of what the new ones are, but suffice it to say that some are stronger, some are weaker and some are just different. And some have a surprise or two for the unwary Commander.

Requirements

This OXP requires at least version 1.74 of Oolite.

Some of these are utterly vicious! But you usually encounter them only in Interstellar Space...
