Insubordination

Hey all

I just encountered a strange fenomona in FS1, i'm playing arround with fred, building a mission, and i added the Arcadia as one of the objects, but now when i try to test the mission, i'm called back by the Arcadia for insubordonation at the moment the level starts

Even setting the Arcadia as "hostile" doesn't change this, anyone know what causes this?

Cheers

In FS2 if you get too far from the starting point you get blown up for deserting. This could be something similar. What are the co-ords of the starting point of alpha 1?

Try moving Alpha to 0,0,0 and see if it still happens.

That did the trick karajorma Thx

PS: Is it possible to use non-terran ships as the player's ship?

It is completely possible to use vasudan ships. Volition even put in loadout icons. I think you can use them for multiplayer.

If you want to use Shivan ships. Their is a MOD in the VW archives called DreAdful Shivans. Its completely awesome. You can use the Shivan lasers too.

What defines this actually? Is it in the ships.tbl file? Or somewhere else? I'd like to use a vasudan vessel in my mission as the player's ship

In FreeSpace 1, I'm fairly certain any of the Vasudan fighters are available to the player. Not sure about the bombers, but you can always experiment.

I'm assuming you know how to change what kind of ship an object is, so all you have to do is select any ship with the "PVF" prefix for a Vasudan fighter. PVF Anubis, PVF Seth, etc. The Anubis doesn't have an afterburner if I recall correctly. Booooo.

If you don't know, just select the player's fighter (it should be the green one in FRED2), hit Shift+S to bring up the Ship Editor, go to the Ship Class menu, and select one of the aforementioned ships. Now when you get in the game, you should be flying the Vasudan fighter of your choice.

Additionally, if you go into the Loadout Editor (hit Shift+P when in FRED2) you should see a complete list of all the fighters you can fly in the game, Terran, Vasudan, and the Shivan SF Dragon. Check all the ones you want to be made available in the in-game Ship Selection screen. If you don't see all of the ones you checked when in game, just uncheck the Terran ships so only the Vasudan ones are available and this should solve your problem.

Gahhh, replace all the times I said "FRED2" with "FRED". Forgot what we were working with here. Old habits die hard and all.
