Help with Dagger Clone hardpoints

I've been trying to edit a dagger to add hardpoints for more weapons and another thruster. I edited bw_fighter.cmp to add hardpoints and all that, tested it as a modified Dagger that effected all existing Daggers (NPCS too) and found that everything worked ok. However, when I try to move the *.cmp file to use as a Clone that wouldn't replace the existing Daggers (I renamed it e_dagger.cmp) it wouldn't work. It worked a little bit, because while I was landed on a base it allowed me to mount on the hardpoints, but as soon as I flew into space, it looks like the game reverted to using the original *.cmp file. All my hardpoints were gone and it looked just like a regular dagger. The modifications in shiparch.ini were still in effect because I could still mount L10 guns.. but I'm not sure what's happening to my hardpoints! As soon as I land they come back again... am I missing something? Do I have to edit more than one *.cmp file or *.3db file or something? Thanks in advance!!
