Hey there, Im back with some more wacked up questions..

Lets get straight to it eh?

1. Auto Turret...yeah its for NPCs...if you wanted it on your ship itd have to be part NPC..question is, can you make a ship part NPC?

2. Player Carriers...swear I saw a thread on this saying its possible but if you died, moved sys with someone docked it crashed and burned in hell..so for my purposes, is it possible?

3. Invisabillity...no not a cloak, just something about bases..Is it possible to have a base that you can select and dock with, but you cant see? Kinda like the Fuchu Planitoid but different..

Hmm..yeh I think thats it really, some odd questions no doubt but it means something to me lol
Any answers appreciated

1) - nope

2) - Change all AI (npc) docking to use something other than berths - like Jumps etc. This will mean that you will then change all docking rings/dock entries to this as well - apart from upon your custom ship. The custom carrier could retain a berth method of docking. This will mean no-AI can dock with the ship at all (as they will be unable to use the docking sphere) as any NPCS docking with a players station caused crashing issues. Next up is the fact that you still have issues with players leaving a server with people docked upon it. That may not be avoided - unless the dock actually docks you with a real base, meaning their ship is a 'docking ring' so to speak (ie - the ship is the method of docking to a base, and not the actual base itself). You may not launch or you will crash at that point.

Will it work? Never tested it, not even interested to be honest. I don't think its going to add anything in gameplay over the 'wow' factor - which always dies damned fast! Anyone is welcome to try it though.

3) Yeah, if it has no matt files, then it will be invisible - kinda like what you have a custom ship that you cannot see etc. You can select it, just cannot see it.
