Okies - I've taken out the first couple of pOorates using a rear-mounted military laser, but that rear view just wasn't working for me; seemed like the placement was way too far forwards towards origin & much of the view was obscured by the hull, any target below the horizontal required a fair degree of roll/pitch to get 'em in sight & that can be a challenge in combat when yr looking backwards.. 8~)
I stared at the numbers in shipdata for a while, 'til I realised I was thinking in terms of Blender's co-ord system; made a lot more sense looking at the model in Wings3d. Anyways, I've settled for "0.0 11.57 -70.92" for the moment, looking to locate the view at the rear of the upper protrusion on the back of the hull; seems ok from a very quick test, hope to take it for a proper run later today; thoughts?
cheers!
Since you are the lead pilot of the new "Honorable Guild of Test Pilots" I will wait eagerly for your updated views of the ship, after you are satisfied please let me know so I can implement them.

Good goddess. Does anyone have a responsible adult on board? No? *sigh*
I will wait eagerly for your updated views of the ship

I much prefer it; nice, clear view & the x-hair sighting works just fine (few less pOorates since those pics were taken *grin*). The co-ords were taken from the central vertex of that part of the hull in the 3d model, slightly rounded.

Not so long ago, I was a responsible adult. Then I found Oolite, and... oh look, a shiny Cobra MkIII.

Good job, it certainly looks much better than the original ones, what coordinates did you use ?

She is a thing of genuine beauty - thank you for bringing her back to the spacelanes. My 'real life' (haha) commander will be putting this grrl on the bucket-list, be sure of that 8~)
Waiting to hear from my spawnling, think I've tracked down the 4-disc dvd set of Firefly; colour me excited!

I am a fan of the TV series as well, watched most of them on SyFy channel years ago. Same to "Dark Matter" I like the characters, never was much of a fan of the super-hero or the super-villain.
