Puruco, that's what it does. I'm assuming the mammoth was alraedy owned by you in game?
If so, you can try going to an unpopulated sector and saving with salvage insurance, reinstall the mod, load, and try again.
That's the issue I was having with existing games as well. The unknown sector save thing fixed it for me.
Anytime you change a scene file of a ship that already exists, there can be problems like this.

That's what I was saying. It may need a new start, and it's appearing to be that way.
You could try to destroy/sell your existing TLs/etc, and spawn a new one, to see if the issue is still there.
When the ship that's ordered to dock sits there and does nothing (or does circles) forever, it means the model has changed and the game didn't recognize it.
It's trying to dock to the old scene of the ship.

I can't get more than one ship to dock in my Boreas. I can get either 1 fighter or 1 TS (I haven't tried TP or M6), but not 2 fighters, and not 1 fighter and 1 TS. The info screen for the Boreas says it has 1 docked out of 2 spots.
Otherwise, everything seems to be working great! Thanks for the mod!

That's not quite what I had in mind... I thought that M2s were getting 1 TS slot and 1 fighter slot.fud wrote:Changing Tships is easy enough.
If you don't have the time to do this, or just don't want to, it's not a big deal - I can live with just having a Springblossom docked.
Either way, thanks for the mod!

The M6 docking was an unintended side effect. Originally, the standard extern_TS_dock was only for TS and TP ships. I modified it so it could dock TM as well. Doing so, it also allowed M6 and M8s to dock.
I put the docking body in the scene files before I changed the part in dummies. As a result, the placement of the body in the scenes is probably too close (distance) for the bigger/taller ships, M6s especially.
I probably should have left it the way it was, so that only TP/TS ships could dock.
