Second Wave v1.34 ReadMe & License.txt

Second Wave OXP by Thargoid.

As many ships have variants within the game now, it's about time that the aliens joined the club. So this OXP provides variants on both the Thargoid Warship and its Tharglet (Thargon) robot fighters. Some are weaker, some stronger and some just different. There are a few surprises in there too. So as not to spoil it details of the ships aren't included here, but if you really want to know have a look on the wiki page for the OXP.

Requires Oolite 1.74 for the shaders
