Do a barrel roll!

Have you tried using a standard engine instead of a custom one?

Yes, I tried it with a defender engine, and the same thing happened.

This could be a really stupid question but did you add an engine hardpoint to the cmp file.

Well, I made a new model for the ship, and now the engines work. However, weapons still go through it when the shields are down. (I believe you have to create a .sur file, but how do you do it?)

I know dis mite b off topic a bit, but is it possible to make the star trek models of the enterprises and the voyager and even mancers cargo ships dockable?
I notice that theyre actually quite small in comparison to the FL battleships, so you could set it up that your ship docks "with" it instead of into it. I suck at modelling, couldnt even make a big sphere with HP's to use as a deathstar. These models are from legendary ships(enterprise, voyager, mancers cargo, etc.)
but would be really awesome if you could dock with them, just like a base, then you wouldnt have to use FL's bases all the time when adding new ones.
I've added dockmounts and the respective dockpoints but no luck, when i select dock with, the npc gives me clearence but my ship flies away to 1000m turns around for like 10m and repeats this over + over again.
How did rimshot do this to the hispania?

Hope tis not wrong forum.

Starman- for now, just find a ship with the same basic shape as your new model and use FL Model Tool to scale it to your ship. Argh, Harrier, Colin, and (I think) Anton are working on a sur exporter, but it's not ready for prime-time, as it were. There's a thread here somewhere about the progress.
