If it moves around, it's a ship. If it's dockable, it's a base. Nothing in FL can be both at the same time. Sorry.

is that ENTIRELY accurate?

i've been messin with that idea for like 5 months now.....my ONLY problem...is gettin the game to actually FINISH the docking sequence....when the screen goes to the "docking screen"...it crashed....(mind you the flying base was NPC only...not player useable...now that is impossable)....any takers?

there is only 1 way to make a moving and docking battleship or base and that is to make it rotate on an axis...

you will need to edit the base or ship or what ever, and just edit the center of the model and make it way out in the middle of nowhere. Then you make it spin, and because the center is out in the middle of nowhere then the battleship or base will be rotating around that.

Other than that i cannot see any way of doing it.

sorry

Wow, with huge work you could make orbital stations do their round around planets...

Phoenix_IRA, i had that idea a long time ago when i wanted to make complete stations spinning, including the attached modules.

meanwhile im pretty sure that it wont work.

why?
easy answer: sur files. those cant be edited yet, so u cant move their origin as well -> the stations would be useless/incomplete.

but in theory the general idea works - once sur files are cracked and editors are available, i will mod this in for sure.

Apparently someone's found the guy who made the .sur files though. Just something I heard.
