if you dont like the way people mod their ships alter it to the way you want it !!!???

but to save you looking for the information i will post a quick how too!

to stop a ship having lots of guns look in the shiparch.ini, find the ship they added. in it there will be a few lines like
hp_type = hp_gun_special_XX, HpWeapon01, HpWeapon02, HpWeapon03 ,...... etc. and
hp_type = hp_turret_special_XX, HpTurret01(where XX is a numer between 01 and 10)

for no turret remove completely lines with HpTurretXX in them.

for the weapons remove all but one of the words HpWeaponXX (this will be a sort of trial and error until you find the weapon mount you want to keep) when you
have finished you should have up to 10 lines similar to
hp_type = hp_gun_special_XX, HpWeaponZZ (where XX is a number from 01 to 10 and ZZ is a number from 01 to 06)

this information is widely available on thes forums, and is easy to use.

this all means you can have a ship the way YOU want it. But just remember someone spent their freetime creating a ship that they wanted (and believe me to create a ship takes a lot of freetime), how they wanted and doing what they wanted it to do. Then they released it to the community only to be shot down in flames because it wasn't exactly the right shade of blue etc.. as the original.

I know how long it take to make a ship as i'm a model i use lightwave 7.5 every day of the week what i'm saying is not every one can do that edit ini files. I for one can as i have made 4 new weapons for the game and it take a long time to do. all i ask if thay can make one mod with the right number of guns as i'm not the only one to thing this or if someone send me all the bit i will do it
