			      Bank of the Black Monks OXP - V2.2.1
			     ------------------------------------

* Original concept (v1.x), reconcepting and flavor texts by "LittleBear"
* Reconcepting and scripting by "spara"
* Models, textures and shaders by "Griff"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An addon for Oolite by Giles Williams.

Based on "Elite" by Ian Bell and David Braben.

Update history
---------------
Version 2.2.1 - A missing semicolon added to the shipdata.
Version 2.2 - Texts reproofread and aged by Diziet Sma. A new one shot welcome page shown when entering a monastery for the first time. New names for Defence Ships. Renamed gunship to be "Holy Avenger Mark II" and defence ship to be "Holy Defender Mark I".
Version 2.1.1 - Texts proofread and corrected by Cody.
Version 2.1 - screenIDs idded to the mission screens for compatibility with other OXPs. Monk image added as an overlay instead of background picture. New bigger monk image. Bug fixes.
Version 2.0 - A full rewrite and reconcepting of the OXP. (25.6.2015)

Version 1.46 - Corrected typo in equipment.plist
Version 1.45 - Corrected another typo in equipment.plist
version 1.44 - Added copy of minesweeperAI from Randon Hits oxp to remove the dependancy on that OXP being installed
Version 1.43 - Lengthened the dock object to workaround defence ship calmness - they now get angry faster :)
Version 1.42 - fixed incorrect weapon rage & energy stats on one of the defence ship turrets
Version 1.41 - removed bounty setting from defence ship, set scan_class to Neutral. Increased defence ship toughness stats
Version 1.4 - added Blackmonk Station Defence Ship
Version 1.3 - fixed the wrong shader vertex applied to station turrets 
Version 1.2 - um, can't remember the changes
Version 1.12 - Updated shaders slightly to avoid ATI missing texture bug. Added Materials so some shader effects work for on computers unable to run shaders
Version 1.1 - 27th January 2007. 


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Added:-
-------

- Vast Black Monk Monasterys appear in safe high tech Systems.
- Players can to undertake a short term financial pilgrimage for the Black Monks.
- The dreaded Black Monk Gunships can be seen shooting down NPC debtors who failed to pay up.
- Players who fail to repay on time will also find themselves in a Gunship's sights!
- Holy Fuel buyable from the Monasteries.
