Overview

The Imperial Trader is a military vessel found in the service of the Achenar Empire from David Braben's Frontier game. It is one of a set of three: Imperial Courier (Oolite), Imperial Explorer and this one. These ships have nothing to do with the Imperial Lictor, Imperial Censor, Imperial Qaestor etc from Dictators OXP.

Tweaks

To remove the big grey blob from the rear view (due to the view being located inside the rear engine!) try changing the aft view in the shipdata.plist from

<key>view_position_aft</key> 
<string>0.0 20.0 -31.0</string>
to (Dertien's tweak)
<key>view_position_aft</key> 
<string>0.0 15.0 -51.0</string>
or to (Slartibartfast's tweak)
<real>25</real>
<key>view_position_aft</key> 
<string>0.0 0.0 -35.0</string> 
  • See How to tweak OXZ's if you need more details
