that's a gorgeous ship.

yeah that's the problem w/ ejecting around pirates. kind of a dilemma, risk getting back safe or risk getting killed or captured as a slave.

could be a good mission - ferry materials in and see the station gradually repair. COuld have several models w/ fewer holes etc, gets replaced when you've delivered a certain amount of goods etc.

surely pretty bright if you want people to help you? Something other than dark blue would help!

chitty?!
lol, no, was just just some concept art i played around w/, was based on some idle ideas i had for a game but had no idea how/where to pitch it

that's a blast from the past. awful design, might have to think about a MkII :-/ Undeniable a ship design from your hand... https://i.postimg.cc/KjQpTc7b/oolite-366.png A materials setting does give it another look, all metal surfaces seem to benefit... But perhaps you were not talking about textur...

looks gorgeous. love the dirty window effect.

Not sure i could do it accurately. The only spawn script i have is the one that sticks a station some specified distance along a line from witchpoint-sun etc etc. Rotation isn't a problem but accuracy is. Would be far easier to define the items as part of the model and either spawn or spawn-kill them.

Much obliged, i'll check those out. i don't really need to add things back, i was thinking of having some subent ships/whatever hanging about in random order just to add colour - you might see one thing, or several, or none if a random scripty thing can zap them. i'll try a bit play wehn i've finish...

is it possible to use the "allowOfferShip" function to make a ship only available for purchase at one station/system? Is it possible to control the appearance of subents? eg, if i had a station w/ a couple of sub ent ships docked outside, could a script/whatever randomly make one or more o...

thanks for the post - it was, however, UVs. Not sure what happened when i was chopping the model up and merging bits but the UV's got naffed up somewhere. just done a fast light pack unwrap and all is fine.

cheers

Has someting changed, regarding the shading, w/ the handling of internal spaces? I'm messing about w/ a model that has an interior chamber like the Salvage Gang asteroid etc, and a quick test is looking godawful - random faces are black. i've checked the model in Blender but it seems all the faces a...

much obliged, @Alnivel.

ta for the replies. that was a typo, by the way, "is there a CHANCE" a ship would try and turn through a wall it was meant to say, lol. cheers Griff - i had a look at a couple AIs but couldn't see anything relating to launching so i'm not sure at what point, eg, a Viper gets the Route1Patr...
