Overview

Transports.oxp contains a collection of escorted transport ships.

Adds more variety to the game. Anaconda & Coral Passenger liners can be seen in the space lanes of the safer systems transporting paying customers to their destinations. Luxury CoachWhips for the well-heeled. Also features Moray Transporters and Large Woma fuel tankers to bring much needed supplies and fuel to space stations. And liveried escorts, too!

Comment

Fly real close to a quirium-tanker and then let loose with your military grade laser.

Update Notes

  • version 2.52: Raised minimum Oolite to 1.73 (Eric Walch, 2010)
  • version 2.50: Prepared for 1.73 changes. (Eric Walch, 2009)
  • version 2.48: Added 1.72 features. (Eric Walch, 2008)

  • version 2.1: Oosat version (Murgh 2006)

Installing and Playing

To play the OXP, unzip the download file. This will create a folder named "transports 2.xx". Open this folder and you will see a folder named "transports 2.xx.oxp" and a readme. Move the transports 2.xx.oxp folder to AddOns. As with all OXPs, it is the folder ending .oxp that you need to put in Oolite's AddOns folder, otherwise Oolite will not read it.

Permission to update Murgh's .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...
