Good news.

PANI sent me the Cutlass, and I'm almost done converting it. It should be done by the end of the day. (The Cutlass is a fan made ship, but a very good one.I'm not entirely sure what to dow ith it, but I'm sure we'll be able to figure something out )

BTW, warzog, check your email if you haven't already done so

Bob:
I downloaded that file, but it wouldn't run.
Did you mod that ship in the Drake's slot? The mod date says no. If not, a lot of those hardpoints won't work.
I prowled around the zip file, and noticed some of the things you did, I'll do some more digging when I get a chance.
A Doughnut???
Edit:
I love the pirate scheme. Get me a pirate.mat file, I know some pirates in desperate need of a new ship!

Tolwyn:
1)The test on the Concordia was sweet!
She's gorgeous!
Just need to resize her, and give her some hardpoints.

2)Your bp(1),bp(2),bp(3) files are messed up!
Boots to desktop before I can do anything!

3)Didn't get the Dralthi, did you forgot to attach it?



Watch your 6!

Verdammt, I'll upload the improved file in a moment. BTW, it includes both the recently converted Cutlass and the Free Trader (Bonnie Heather) model from my old mod, since I felt it was comparable to the WCS one in quality, from a distance at least (the WCS one has a more detailed skin). My attitude towards freighters was that these are large, ungainly beasts, totally unequipped for combat and extremely vulnerable, so as such they have incredibly strong hulls (28800!) and massive cargo hulls but weak defensive armaments (two turrets, total). I also have the .ms3d, thankfully, so it can be reskinned easily

Doughnut - ???

EDIT: Looked at the Free Trader skin and ... it's not as good as I remembered Tolwyn, would you mind sending yours?

This is the only Privateer Drayman model I've ever seen. It's four years old and from the X-Wing Alliance mod:

Oh, and warzog - do you have a fix to that Ferret Cardamine problem? It's really starting to piss me off

@warzog: Bluepoint crashes because it has virtually no hardpoints at all. Concordia is working? Fine then, I'll add turrets as soon as possible.

@Bob: are you talking about Free Trader model from Standoff project? 'Cause it is the same model WCS is using. The resking is not fully finished yet.

@PANI: Bluepoint station is not armed. It has no weapons to protect itself.

About the Arrow:
1. It is a very high end model and therefore it can't be used in the mod.
2. I promised not to release the model or any parts of it to anyone.

About the F-34A Cutlass:

+Tech Description:
XSTR("As one of the first new fighter designs in the war, the Cutlass was rushed into service in 2635 due to construction delay of the Corsair fighter. It performed well in combat, but after some time it's worrying tendency for errors in the electronic and the new automatic ejector system became obvious, and the production was stopped after 361 ships. More than one pilot got slammed into the ceiling of the flight deck when the automated ejector seat went off after damage to the electronics, resulting in the pilots joking that the fighter takes revenge on its pilots if they treat the ship badly and techs referring to them with rather crude names, and the new ejector system was swapped with an older, yet more reliable one. In the late 2640s, the remaining fighters were refitted with new reactors, new electronics gear and an additional layer on of armor in an effort to keep them battleworthy. Nowadays, they are still found in service along with the Hornet, the two beeing the oldest fighter designs in the Confederation, a rare sight, mostly stationed in planetary defense sqadrons or on space stations where they still serve as deterrent to pirates and occasional Kilrathi raiders.", -1)

Cutlass: Excellent, I'll add that to the file as soon as possible.

BTW, warzog: I found a list with images of commodities, from a now-defunct web page. Grab it at http://www.geocities.com/GTVConFlt/commodities.zip if you're interested.

who wants to place turrets onto the Concordia-class? Besides missing turret hardpoints the ship is finished
