** Uses new visual effects code for Oolite v1.77 and newer, otherwise a simple invisible object hanging above the closest patrol ship that can be tracked with the Advanced Space Compass.
 
−
** Tracker deactivates if the player is close to the patrol ships.
 
−
* If Jaguar Company is forced out of interstellar space, they will all use 1 witchpoint exit even though they are all independent entities and not escorts or part of a group.
 
−
* Position and name of the base is now fixed. Uses 'system.scrambledPseudoRandomNumber(salt)'.
 
−
** Conjunction of the witchpoint, planet and sun is checked for so the base doesn't end up in the middle of the planet.

Sometime ago I posted some images on the Screenshots thread of the Oolite BB, of what is possible with Griff's multi-decal Player Cobra Mk III OXP. I mentioned that I have a lioness on the back of my Cobbie 3 hunters. Someone else suggested that jaguars might be better. This formed an idea in my head and Jaguar Company was born.

Overview

Adds in an Elite group of pilots to patrol the space lanes in Anarchy, Feudal and Multi-Government systems.

The members of Jaguar Company are part-time reservists so there is a chance that they will appear if there is a major Galactic Naval convoy in the system.

Requirements

Optional OXPs

This is highly recommended.
