Okay, sorry. After much testing, I decided it's primary role lay in shipping large loads of cargo, and passengers. The Genesis is huge, for a player ship, with measurements in meters of 164.838 x 50.233 x 230.574. It's max cargo load is 650 tons, and that doesn't include passengers, so it is possible to make huge special cargo runs, and also take on a passenger run as well. The non-player version has 6 SunBatMkII escorts, and I wish I could make them available to the player, but don't know how at this point. Even without the escorts, the eight ball turrets allow the Genesis to take on several invaders at once. It's max speed is 360, and due to its ten power plants it has a max energy level of 500, and an energy recharge rate of 6.5. Thrust is low, at 15, so it's a bit of a wallower, but with all the ball turrets it doesn't need to turn fast. The Genesis comes standard with ECM, Escape Pod, Docking Computer (which is very advisable to use), Witchdrive Fuel Injectors, and Scoop. At a cool 1,000,000 GC, it's not cheap, but those that can afford it are already very big in the shipping business, which is it's primary role. I also included a zipped copy of the SunBatMkII, which is needed for the non-player version, but not absolutely necessary. If you don't want the SunBatMkII, just discard the zip file.maik wrote:Also added to the [wiki]OXP List[/wiki]. Could you provide some additional information?

Yes, but do you like it? That's the real question.MiMoriarty wrote:Wow!! You have a bizarre sense of modelling. It must be fun trying a pirate-run on these one. At least a bunch of pirates would made it.
Pretty muchYes, but do you like it? That's the real question.
Yeah, it was the only way I knew at the time to give the turrets a wider rotation, but I think I have it figured down better than that now. I just got it figured this morning, so I'll try it out on the Genesis, and hopefully upload an updated version, with ball turrets single, and correct.Ironfist wrote:mandoman,
Downloaded and added it to my system, this is a seriously big ship, liked it.
A couple of observations :-
There seems to be twice as many gun turrets as you mention and the script references an AI file, genesis_ball_turretAI.plist, that does not seem to be in the zip.

You can't give sub-entities AIs as far as I knowmandoman wrote:Yeah, it was the only way I knew at the time to give the turrets a wider rotation, but I think I have it figured down better than that now.

If you say so, but I just took the sample out of the core Oolite Balll Turret shipdata.plist. It says it is "NullAI.plist.Smivs wrote:You can't give sub-entities AIs as far as I knowmandoman wrote:Yeah, it was the only way I knew at the time to give the turrets a wider rotation, but I think I have it figured down better than that now.

That's right. The NullAI.plist is the one that does absolutely nothing, and is a default for sub-ents - it applys no matter what. It actively stops you applying an AI to a sub-ent, which is actually something I wanted to do once...very annoying!mandoman wrote:

Yeah, I figured that's what it meant, and also suspected that I didn't need to put it in the listing, but you know me. If it's unnecessary, I'll be sure to do it.Smivs wrote:That's right.

I've been checking out what you described, and I'm not getting any of that on my computer. I'm not sure what's up with the glow obscuring the view. If you want, just go into the Config file, open shipdata.plist, and scroll down to subentities/flashers. The light you are speaking of should be listed so:SandJ wrote:There's a white glow obscuring the top part of the forward view - one of the white lights at the front?
When facing forward it fires lasers, when facing back it fires plasma balls. BUT when using the "Top View" or "Rear View" it fires plasma balls forwards.
