Not sure if it would work, but you could try creating an extra entry in select_equip, like this:
[CargoPod
nickname = generic_pilot_2
LODranges = 0, 50
DA_archetype = equipment\models\pilot\ship_pilot.3db
material_library = Equipment\models\pilots.mat
HP_child = HpConnect

Then add the equipment to the loadout and goods entry. Got to admit i haven't tested it.

Godzero,

dont know of an answer to this..am not sure it's possible..however you can import the freelancer pilot, add him to the exported .cmp retex him as well and as part of the ship .cmp he will display.. problem is.. because the second pilot is part of the mesh..he is there all the time..you may notice that on dock and launch .. the pilot seat is empty..

how do u import the pilot into Milkshape? It's a .3Db

can MS import them?

Use the CMP importer, it does both CMP & 3DB

**shuffles of with a new headache**

Or you could just create a new shield with the pilot archetype and mount them directly on to the ship.

why don´t you just add the pilots later in HardCMP. i´ve done so once and i added four of them.
