And don't forget Dummies.txt and Components.txt (and possibly others too) thrown into the mix for custom ships/stations etc.

What are they for ?

(May as well complete the last subject in Modding 101.)

I want to play the latest Deadly Ships mod with the Semi-official Cockpit Mod, I'm guessing i have to combine it this way, which is what i'm now going to try, however is there a better way to do this? just incase this way would happen be the 'wrong' way.

Cheers.

All you have to do for that is move its_arg_CP_mod_V1c.cat & .dat from your mods folder to the main X3 folder, and then rename them to 10.cat & 10.dat (or a number that is one more than the cat/dat pairs that are already there).

This is what is known as the "false patch" method. You are using the X3 system of loading patch files to pretend that a mod is actually a patch. Cockpit mods work well with this because they generally don't modify the same things as other mods.
