Hmmm, you hid the pancakes didn't you

One little observation tho, in announcements now all I am getting is "warning we are under attack", "warning shelds are at 75%", "warning shields are low" (not exact wording, but you get the drift) - I am getting these over and over again, and it is all I am getting, no other types of announcements at all.
and no I wasn't under attack, and shields were at 100% (Yea I know it probably random)
But it got soo bad, I had to head back to the skunk to get away from the repetition.

One other little thing I noticed, was that the hull and shield numbers are not on screen any more..

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings...

Today I was wandering if would be posible to make a different bridge for medium ships, like rahanas or so...

Of course it is, Litauen has created this Cap Bridge from exisiting rooms and corridors from stations, so of course it is possible, question is, does anyone have the time, passion, patience or desire to create a completely new bridge, it takes quite some time and effort to do something like that.

@NZ-Wanderer - I can't replicate this. All is working for me as before.

I know its possible.

But the two bridges could work together at same time? One for big capitals (this one, that is fantastic) and a different one for the medium transports, p.e.?
Creating a new component, a new docking bay, and a new medium bridge and assign to all transports, its doable?

I believe that you can place a landing pad on anything. Placing one on a smaller ship should be no different from larger vessels.

Yes, but in this case (IMHO) a complete new docking bay must be created and assigned to transporters only (different capships docking bay). I believe that it can be made, but dunno wich implications can have this to the game (problems with plot, missions, etc)
Really dunno

I'm confused. I thought you guys were talking about the Rahanas.

Doesn't that already have a docking platform?

Difficult to express in a non mother language

What I'm trying to say is that if we could have two types of mod bridges. One for xl ships (we got it) and another one for l ships, different from de capitals one, smaller, simpler.

Yup, that's what I thought you meant. I think it might have been Earth Ultimatum IV's comment, and what followed, that confused me.

Ok. Not confused anymore.

edit: actually, come to think of it, I kind of miss the vanilla cluttered landing pads. Think I might mod my copy of this mod to have the vanilla landing pads for L class ships. Maybe the L class freighters. Might be nice for the Balor to keep it's bridge.

I tried to add different bridges to L ships, but did not find a way to apply these to already present ships. E.g. my way needs new game start. If somebody finds a way to change bridges for old save games, then MAYBE I will create separate bridge for L ships. Smaller, more compact and more compatible for these smaller ships.

Thanks for your response Litauen. I'm very newbie in modder questions but I sensed that it was not as easy as it could seem to make two or more different bridges working in game at the same time.

Congratulations on your work with this mod. It is legendary

Would be extremly interesting if someone added a landing pad on all small fighters (ships), so that we could land on small ships and watch them flying.
Just a very small cockpit. A few metres. And big windows.
And a special mini-bridge for Katana, Daito, Gigurum, Vulture and Manorina and the mining ships.
Wish I had some modding skills to do this, cause it sounds awesome.

That DOES sound cool. Maybe allow docking a Beholder Drone with fighters? And maybe allow hacking the controls of a fighter?

And antoniut's right by the way, Litauen. Your work on this really is approaching legendary proportions, figuring out and executing a way to do something that was thought impossible. Thanks for your work! And I hope that you're enjoying doing it.

I think these four might be yours too, but I'm not sure:

edit: could it be because I'm playing with all of the sound muted in-game?
