now i am goign to spend time on chaing the skunk to the argon Eterscel fighter..it would be a permo change , but after looking at the associated files i think i can make it happen..if i can get one working then others would be possible.

im also mega obsessed with being able to manually control my cap ships so thats also on my list...i actually refuse to really play the game until it works like it should. so we are all gettting closer thanks to smarter people than me.

I have actually no idea what the hell you people babling about, it aint my language so to speak

But does this mean we can have a little more then a toilet as a interior on the Skunk ?, perhaps a bigger Skunk, a.k.a. Firefly size Skunk with sizeable interior ?

You are a genius indeed.

I'm also obsessed with piloting my Arawn capital ship manually. Then able to have my fighters dock within my Arawn capital ship is the second obsession of mine. That was why I fell in love with X3:AP. Something that "small" I took for granted.

@ Freeman_79 custom interior is complicated. It seems as if Egosoft created a lot of incomplete parts as if they would allow us to do it ourselves or use those parts later on for new ships/ upgrading ships. I personally agree, that playing with only the skunk is boring.

@UniTrader
I am using Balor as my personal taxi all around. Its great with removed Skunk. Would be possible removing frontal antenna from Balor. Or may will it be worth your time, making new frigate just for this purpose? One with great field of view. May be, with reversal positioning landing pad, with Skunk on the back?
Thanks for all current work.

possible of course, but my released stuff so far is more about finding the posibilities currently and currently i am busy with other stuff (editing ships/interiors via xml is time-consuming)

UniTrader, you might be able to answer this for me. Why don't the shiptraders in devries sell terran ships even though both wares.xml, buildmodule_ships_devries_l(and xl)_macro.xml all have entries for them to when instead all they sell are argon/pmc ships? Where could I go to change that if I wanted them to be able to craft terran ships?

Well, I never said the Skunk was boring, I just hoped it would be a little bigger, more the size of example the Firefly(Serenity).

I would love to so some one strip the weapons off a Taranas and then on the upper and lower parts strap on the guns from the Targon Tracer. Pew Pew!!

Any way, This is good to hear and I look forward to seeing what people put together.

I personally would love to see a scaldis with missile turrets on the deck or something cool like that.

What he put in does nothing and that is the point. Basically each ship, structure, and interior in the game is just a collection of parts defined by an XML file. This means that with skill and in time the right tool, people could build from those parts custom ships, stations, and interiors. Or even develop mods that create procedurally generated elements using those modules.

This sounds awesome!

Please keep on working with this and maybe we will soon have lots more variety in stations/ships and interiors!

Maybe one day I can stand in the command center of my Arawn and watch a big battle ensue!

Next time I"m in your town I'm buying you a beer. This is what I've been dreaming of, a command center in my Arawan while watching all hell break loose while drinking a cold Budweiser.
