i got so far that i can edit the standerd flight of ships not three in a <
but also a line horizontal , a line vertical, and these all in close formation, lose formation and normal formation( wich changed the space between ship) still have to figur it out how to use them in normal space( not missions)
any suggestions, i donn't got a clue were to start

"fraid not. I'm stumped, too.

I thought that maybe there were further scripting instructions laid out like encoutners, but I'm not seeing them -- at least not without going into the hard-code of the game's design itself (which is beyond my abilities since I don't know assembler code).

I believe mission scripts are in there, too. You can create scripts for additional encounters, but it'll take someone with the programming ability to rewrite some of the assembler code to make new random missions (not encoutners); so, its probably also true for specific spawning instructions for an encounter. As for configurations, I've not been able to locate anything that would allow me to manipulate the X, Y, Z coordinates. Assembler code, too, I guess. . .

You wouldn't by chance be able to write some assembler subroutines, could you?

it's hard coded but in wich file and wich line that is the problem all the dll files have a total number of more than 32 charachters ( example 12345678901234567890123456789012 is 32 charachters so that is allot of work but we are still working on it
if someone got a clue please let me know
