Found a Glitch i cant fix

I created a new model for the liberty elite fighter (Defender) but upon using said ship i found that i was involnurable, every shot that came my way (after the shields were down) went right through my ship and caused no damage to my hull. Only my weapons were able to be hit by oncoming fire. If anyone knows how to correct this problem, please respond.

You need to give your ship a .sur file or it wont take damage from lasers/collisions. Pick a ship of roughly the same shape/size and copy its .sur file to your new ships directory,renaming to the same name as the .cmp file you are using.

No ini editing? Just stick in a sur file?
btw: has anyone figured out the sur file format or got in touch with HCL? I've heard Paul Issac (lead programmer) made some homebrewed surface editor a long time back...
