I've now completed 5 new ships, 1 from Privateer 2 and 4 from Freespace 2, and all of them have problems with at least 1 hardpoint. All the hardpoints are weapon Hps. But each ship also has several good Weapon Hps. I have been using the Hardpoint tutorials and the more I play with the numbers the more I mess the Hps up. I have tried duplicating the good HPs but the new duplicates seem to end up being no better than the original HPs. The main symptom is that a gun does not mount properly, either its in the ship, pointing through the ship or it moves around depending on where the mouse is - like its on rails. I've also tried flipping the face of the HP but to no avail.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem would be appreciated.
