Tryed to send you the file's a while back, but the email bounced, do you have another email address?

or ill send it to the same one again if you want and see if can get through.

Yeah if you could try again at...

Now, maybe I shouldn't had copied all the collision data.. I don't know.. but I thought I had to.. I'm going to try it next w/o all that info in there and with just the stuff in [Ship.

Here goes.

P.S. (It all shows up on planet.. huge ship clipping the showroom floor hehe and all for $10!!)

Have you fixed the problem that prevents you from docking/landing anywhere?

Falken, i think it might be a good idea to not worry about the collision data. When i try the Dreadnought it collided with the manhattan docking ring, or rather it got stuck in the docking ring . Other than that it looks ok ,but i'd need to add it in again.

I tryed to send it to you again Decca, no go, still bounced.

Tachyon,
Do you mean with the cruiser and mooring, you could just put

mission_property = can_use_berths

but i have not try to land on a station with it yet, that will be a bit....wierd, tight fit also.

hey could you send me the ini files you modified?

I removed the collision data but it still wouldn't work properly.. not sure what I'm doing wrong.

my email is [email protected]

Thanks

Yeah... When I put the big transport as my ship, when I docked it just put it's nose up against this part of the station and sat there. I didn't much look into it after that, but I think changing the mooring might fix it. Still, it will be difficult to take off from planets...

A tip when modding the ship's, if you add a new ship to the game and land on a station or planet,then decide to remove it, delete the autosave, just about pulled all my hair out trying to find the problem that was causing the game to crash. Totally forgot about the autosave thing.

hey could you send me the ini files you modified?

I removed the collision data but it still wouldn't work properly.. not sure what I'm doing wrong.

my email is [email protected]

Thanks

I sent them a while ago, must be about 3 hours ago that i sent the file's to you Falken.
Want me to send them again?

well what i was thinking about about a great mod whas addind some new bases
and on those bases sell those ships like the armored transport. or a very very secret base with nomad ships. the ships can be done iam still looking to get a indestructable base somewhere its tricky you got destructable bases and weapon platforms but not indestrutable sofar as i now.

hmm... perhaps try with something smaller than a battleship/cruiser, and remember that there are 2 planets without ships/weapons, if you could (in some way) add ships too "planet of the apes" or "planet of the robots" this would be rather neat =)

whoops.. sorry about posting the request twice.. I was hitting back on my browser and hit refresh on accident and it posted again heh.

Thanks for the email
