Overview
========

This Chimera Gunship package is fixing some bugs, upgrades to features from later versions of Oolite and, inspired by Shipbuilders original
message "Whilst you are free (and encouraged) to re-use any of the scripting, models or texturing in this OXP", includes some
new features, all of them to be removed if Shipbuilder disagrees.

Fixes
=====

changed "cargo_type" to "CARGO_NOT_CARGO" to prevent the ship shown as cargo (shipdata.plist)

added some flashers to support engine emission (shipdata.plist)

changed "optional_equipment" to correct price calculation in shipyards (shipyard.plist)

added shiplibrary.plist to replace the obsolete demoships.plist

some small modifications at the model

Upgrades
========

changed fore and rear lasers to "multiply" (shipdata.plist)

removed port and starboard lasers to compensate for the additional mounts (shipdata.plist)

changed "death_actions" to a ship-script:
The scrip is handling messages, death actions (including escape pods), and some new features

included a normal map and modified the diffuse map slightly to work better with the normal map (and to fix some problems)

included "gloss"

New Features
============

As mentioned above this are not part of the original OXP and will be removed if Shipbuilder disagrees:

included some additional diffuse maps

races, ranks and various descriptions for rescued crew members (script)

included "explosive shrapnels" and "burning quirium fuel" to ship explosions, both part of Montanas Resource Pack 01 OXP (script)

changed the assignment of cargo pods (script)

included an alternate (a bit tougher) version with roles escort-heavy, trader-smuggler, hunter-heavy

assigned GalTech escape pods to the ships (slightly redesigned)
 
Credits
=======

original work and escape pods: Shipbuilder
rear laser: Norby (adjustment of positions)

Dependencies
============

to work correct this pack needs to install Montanas Resource Pack 01 OXP (minimum V 0.51) as well
