well its quite clear that almost any capital ship can be piloted in the game

the one problem is the docking, myself ive been able to get a cruiser in and out of planets(docking ring is just big enough), but stations are just too small, tried getting a cruiser out of a station i bought it from, that was funny, heh....

but i have read that other people have tried different docking techniques, they look like they were started by DA, but not completed, people are docking with the moors and nothing else is happening.....


capitol ships will be a much better addition once this problem is sorted out

------------------
You just washed up here or something?

Really? Interesting. Well i never had a cruiser can you tell me where to find a MOD or addon for a cruiser?

Anyways there, matter a fact, is a MOD where you can turn docking rings (for battleships) ghostlike so you can go through them. That helps a lot.

There is a way to use the moors to allow you to get into the stations. That way docking is easier with cap ships. I'm currently working on a new liberty dreadnaught that will take advantage of this new development. I will release it and the way to fix the moors in about 12 hours in the form of a tutorial.

nice going Wanderer, i look forward to seeing how you got mooring to work

I'm glad wanderer got a grip on moors, but I always thought it would be kinda neat if cap ships could dock with the "shipyards", in the large scaffold-like structures that just beg for valet parking abilities

btw, as a quick fix (very quick, seeing as Wanderer is getting ready to release the mooring fix), is to simply fix the station the same way people were fixing docking rings.. by removing its collision file. For those that are already familiar with the process of removing a collision group, and want to do this b4 Wanderer makes it absolete .. the file you want is station_large_b_lod.sur for newark station (and any other station that looks alike).

Hey RaK, I REALLY want that MOD/Addon for that cruiser! E-Mail the download link to me. My E-Mail is [email protected].

I too look forward to seeing Wanderer's tutorial on mooring! Anyway, I just wanted to let you guys know that you dont need to moor with a Liberty Cruiser (the one with the cool gun in front). It JUST fits into a stations berth point, lol. Anyway, if you guys want to try it, its pretty fun watching the cut scene of a cruiser docking with a station! LMAO! Have Fun guys, and keep up the great modding, and that goes for all of you!

SuPaFrEaK is you have a cruiser MOD/Addon can i have it?
