if the name of the ship in the T files is "old Nova"
and the name of the job is for example "Terracorp wapons transporter"
the shipsname ingame will be: Terracorp Weapons Tranporter Old Nova
also the Ai wil use them after time, cause in the Job fils most time ther is a pool of ships the AI can use for example Argon M3, so if the X2 ships are market correktly (and they are) the AI will randomly take any of the Argon M3 ships, also sometimes the Old X2 ships, you cant see them Quick only when other ships become destroyed and the AI will Respawn them.
The only way to test this fast is Starting a new game, cause in this the AI will Spawn ALL jobships maybe also with the "new" old X2 ships

Awwww I just started a new game with the rule of Boron only ships with an eye to use the old carriers cuz they lookin bloody fing AWESOME. Guess I can use em as heavy M7 patrols.
Which brings me to another suggestions. The old M2/M1 I would suggest reclassifying as 'heavy' M7s (kinda like the Panther), but with the ability for heavy weaponry all around, slower (90ish m/s) speed, and 2-3GJ of shields.
As for the M6's I would suggest (if possible) upgrading their weaponry a bit (old Hydra can't even take the shields of a pirate centaur before it is outa juice). I would think something along the lines of the pirate M6's in terms of comparable stats.
Just my thoughts so far. I will post more as I play with more of the old ships.

hello killerog;
was looking over the ships in game and...
1) several of the ships cockpits / gun cockpits need to be looked at and fixed. I.E. the split mamba cockpit is inside the frame. another I.E. the boron shark or was it the ray...... you have the rear side guns linked. so for instance if you jump into the right rear side cockpit; the left rear side turret fires at the right side targets as well and vise versa (basically firing threw the hull). currently i am fixing them in mine so if you want after i am done i can put the fix for you. or i can list what ships needed to be "adjusted".
2) the big radar on the titan needs some loving. it is twitching really bad.
3) i don't know if you are aware but i was looking at the data files you were using and x3 reunion has newer version of some of the data files. I.E. the argon mammoth which has a higher poly count then the one pulled from X2. i believe it is from the defunck X3TR that was never released/cancled. i swapped out some textures from the newer version and the ships looked even better; but that could just be me.
if you want i have already extracted all the updated files from x3 reunion to save you the trouble and put it somewhere for you.
4) you may want to create some dummy entries in the tships. this is so if the dev's decide to release another patch which adds more ships/objects it will not over write what the player currently has. I.E. if 2.2 where to add ship x in position 374 it would overwrite the old colossus and cause problems for the player if they happen to be in the same sector or even in that ship at the time of the upgrade.

@ draffutt: Thanks for the report. If you can list any ships that have problems that will help alot. Also list the problems if you can.
I took all ship from X3:TC so i have no idea why x3 would have a higer poly count. Are you sure its not due to the fact that i have removed the docking section on all ships that have it.
I will look into creating some dummy entries, would make my life easier.
Dbox seems to be very random when it comes to animations, some time it works fine sometimes it dose the twitchy thing you are seeing. I will see if i can work out the difference between that and the working animations i have done.
