They have installed correctly with the latest version of the plugin manager. Im using crycrows cheat package to try and spawn them, not available in the list of ships available to spawn

I've tried a hundred versions of PIM (up to date, beta 1.40, old, very old versions). It always tells me it wants to use corrupt memory. First I was scared and checked my file system. No errors found. Then I tried to install ships from BPG and that russian site. Ships were installed correctly. So by now I think it must be these XSP files.

Actually I use many scripts, especially Lucikes Script collection, Marines Repair, NPC Bailing, ...
Though I can't imagine they interfer with the ships because the problem appears, when I want to open the XSP file.
Maybe you could upload the un-xsp-ed files of the ancient ships as zip or rar files somewhere, please ?

can anyone update the list with there CLASS rating, as i am limited to download request with Rapid, i want a small ship that has good Turret support
reasons-
1 i HATE dogfighting (reason why i love turrets)
2 i like small ships for the agility and speed (can't stand capital ships, even M6 are to big for my liking)
i have tried for 3 days now to find a small ship that has good turret coverage
NOTE, yes i do cheat my player own ship a little, hate having to keep picking and choosing ships, i play the game fairly with exception to player owned ship
if anyone can suggest anything i would really appreciate it.
when i first started playing Terran all that time ago, I imported the Normandy, but the Plugin Manager for AP is a right mess at the moment with ship importing (well it's completely broken too put a finer point on it in respect to ship importing, i'm surprised that PM for AP is not back in BETA stage)
i tried importing Normandy manually, but for some reason the ship was Invisible???
and editing parameters of a ship is as far as my knowledge takes me, graphic and turret editing is beyond my abilities and then some, so adding turrets to a smaller ship is beyond me.
My dream ship would be, a ship 4 times larger than a M3+ (one third the size of an M6+), but is well covered with Turrets (to avoid the dogfighting part of the game) so would not really need forward main guns (with the normandy i used the Autoaim script)
any suggestions or links, anything really....PM won't be working anytime soon i fear, to my knowledge he still don't know what the problem is yet, so manual method only option at this point, or ship that is in FAKE patch form ready to go.

If I may make a suggestion as i've only played with the ancient ship destiny so far ( because it is my favorite )
1: The destiny in my opnion is WAY to small it should be at least double it's current length but i think you did this in order to make it still flyable using the gate system
2: It doesn't have enough turret postions or turrets alone for that matter

joshyp00, your not the first to say this, but we have scaled it correctly to ships in the x universe. the destiny isnt as big as everyone thinks, its only 747 meters long, according to stargate wiki. gblro001 has a scale chart that shows how long the x ships are, and i believe he used the buster which is 20m long to scale eveything as closely as possible. you are right about the turrets though, but gblro001 is working on a new destiny which has a more accurate model and will have more turrets. but both him and me are having problems with plugin manager and which is stopping us getting much further with it.
I see well I have been looking at the script for it and i must say i don't understand much of it as i'm fairly new to x3 modding but i like the main weapon as the only gun that can do any serious damage to another m2 or m6 or higher as the other weapon placement groups are mainly used for handling fighters.
Oh and is there anyway that i can mount a weapon for the ori warship on the cockpit view every turret i have tried hasn't been able to fire. I'm trying to make it more realistic to the tv show version where only the main view could fire

747 meters long is already quite big...J.M. wrote:joshyp00, your not the first to say this, but we have scaled it correctly to ships in the x universe. the destiny isnt as big as everyone thinks, its only 747 meters long, according to stargate wiki. gblro001 has a scale chart that shows how long the x ships are, and i believe he used the buster which is 20m long to scale eveything as closely as possible. you are right about the turrets though, but gblro001 is working on a new destiny which has a more accurate model and will have more turrets. but both him and me are having problems with plugin manager and which is stopping us getting much further with it.
Edit: I tried to install some ships to AP, however, I couldn't see them (missing textures ?). Is there a way to fix this ?

I had the same problem with a couple of bab-5 ships i installed, for some reason the plugin manager didnt install all the components of the xsp?, i had to use the package creator to extract all the parts from the xsp, then put the missing ones into the appropriate folders in the cat with the ships in(using the x3 editor). If you do have parts missing make sure the editor decompresses them when you transfer them, other wise they still wont show up, as i found out the first time lol.xrogaan wrote:747 meters long is already quite big...J.M. wrote:joshyp00, your not the first to say this, but we have scaled it correctly to ships in the x universe. the destiny isnt as big as everyone thinks, its only 747 meters long, according to stargate wiki. gblro001 has a scale chart that shows how long the x ships are, and i believe he used the buster which is 20m long to scale eveything as closely as possible. you are right about the turrets though, but gblro001 is working on a new destiny which has a more accurate model and will have more turrets. but both him and me are having problems with plugin manager and which is stopping us getting much further with it.
