Thank you!

I almost thought so, but almost is not - exactly.

Have been thinking a little, now and then, to start to build a ship. But such a thing is probably not an easy task.
And specially the graphical design worries me no end. It is my weak point. When I try realistic art it looks like a small child has played around.
But I noticed that one can "borrow" a cobra. So I may at least try the logical coding with that to see if it works.
And then handle the design-problem afterwards.

I have found building ships - as in the construction of a 3D model - as a translation of the idea in my head into a representation that would fit into Oolite - relatively straightforward, what I can't do, is get them to do what I want them to do, lest I offer them up as "just another sheep" (i.e. more of the same - another trader, potential pirate, etc.) for my skills at AI and/or scripting rise barely above what could be called noise.

It works now! All I had to do was change ships away from the Tiger series, and it kicked in. I'm now flying a chopped Morrigan (I manually added pylon mounts from 7 to 10).

As I was leaving the space station, just before engaging witchdrive, I spotted a fugitive, trailed by three GalCops. That usually means one thing to me - easy bounty. I zipped in and locked ident on, only to discover my target was a TIGER MARK II SIBERIAN! He did not go down easily.

I think I may just pack up that Tiger Mark II Siberian OXP and post it, if no one has any objections. Tho it COULD do with a makeover. Anyone up for some re-skinning?
