it occured to me what we going to do about resuply? i dont know how to make work as a support ship but i was thinking maybe take the vasudan supply ship and i'll retexture it. creat a new entry for it in the shivan ships ec but i need help making it work - so that when you call in support you dont end up with a terran ship giving you new missiles

ok i done the support ship textures if someone knows how to create a new pof file with the new textures so it doesn't affect the vasudan ship too that would be helpful infact with that one it might be better if someone else did it all together i dont think i have the software for that

i just discovered a problem - you cant seem to order your wing men around i suppose i could turn the table files around and lable the shivan fighters as terran and the terran ones as shivans - that might help when it comes to calling in the support ship too just make it the terran one with a differnt pof. on a more positive note i now got loads of weapons and ships done and the load screens have been improved ALOT looks for like they are ment to be there - i think the ani files need abit of work yet but i have an idea for them - i'll keep you posted - if you want the lastest files - i'll send them to you

ok quick update - 3 fighters are now completly finished ( dragon, basilisk, manticore ) there icons and load screens finished to i think a quite high standard barely noticable they didn't come with the game - except i dont have a rotating animation of the ship although i might be able to create a static one not quite the same but better than nothing.

ok done it myself - if anyone can tell me how to make a shivan support ship without labeling all shivan vessels as terran and terran and vasudan vessels as shivan in the table files i think i would have the basics done pretty soon. oh another thing the wing men need to take orders too and my suppost ship is just a reskined vasudan support ship anyone know how to make a new pof file with the new textures so it doesn't effect the vasudan ship?

You know, I was thinking about that, but, I really never tried it...

How about checking the tbl file of the hygea, and I thin kit sais repair rearm, right? put that on say, a copy of the scarab, and make it shivan...

Good to see sugestions flying around.. I have no experience in modding FreeSpace 2, so I am clueless on that . So, any suggestions on forums i could use?

you mean use the model of an old support vessel pof? i might have to do that unless there is going to be no new vasudan support ships in the campaign missions in which case i'll just use that but that still doesn't help with being able to call it in and when you do for it to be the right one
