Hi,

I would like to say keep up the great work, X3R and X3TC are both great games and with modders like you, the game is even more enjoyable.
That being said, I have a few things to say about your ships:

Raven - Wow, are you sure you dont SG1/SGA? That looks almost like the Daedulus BC's from those two series. Also, 2k-3k is a little much cargo even for a traditional m6 even if its Teladi. The speed is way too fast and breaks the Teladi motto (MORE Profitzzzzszz LESS SPEED)...The Kestrel is the same but i think egosoft has a good reason... I think it should be between 150 - 170ms.. Not to beat the Dragon. The weapons and shields are fine. I guess more speed for less shielding? The weapons competes with normal heavy m6 stock ships... They normally have 8 guns, and 3 Turrets with 2 each which = 14 guns also. With its current stats, i feel that i should just buy the ravens from the shipyards and ignore capturing Hyperions. As you know Hyperions are rare and has some of the best stats for a m6 + 2 docking m5-3.. Pretty sure with it's current stats, it can take out a Hyperion easily even with it's two docking ships. (Lure the fighters way out of range, nuke them then wait for the Hyperion to catch up)... and did you say it can use boarding pods?..wow
M6 with pods

..Sure you can say, I dont have to fully upgrade the speed and cargo fully at the docks but its weird knowing that i can do MORE and its a pet peeve of mine to fully upgrade everything when cash is available ofc. Also the price, did you mean 1.25 x the normal or heavy osprey... If normal then yea....why bother capping Hyperions..

Bloodfang M4 - Traditional scifi fighter look...great speeds!...Im sure the shields are uber weak right? right?

Six guns normal for an m4.

Charon M3 - Yea definitely more Boron than Paranid, 4 heavy guns, no turrets, I guess the faster speed and better shielding makes up for it. Otherwise paint it green and make it more *organic* and you got yourself the King Crab..

Reference to the claws

Drifter TP - TP????! Too much weapons for a TP and speed. Call it the Better Looking Centaur or Centaur MKII

Otherwise very nice skin. Also what would i tell my fellow pilots in the Pilot Union when they ask why do i use TP's as my wingmen...

...

Autumn Rain M3+ - Smooth name ... looks very earthish future wise..which is right on.. The speed is a tad too much... shouldnt beat the ATF fighters...Let the Spifyre be the odd ball. The shielding is over doing it.. 200 max.. and cargo down to 300-400... I understand its a bigger m3 but 800 is way too much.

Well that is my 2cent.. Sorry if i offend you.. you'll probably wont change the stats, I just need to figure out how to do it myself.

If you don't agree with the stats you can easily change them with X3 Editor 2 by doubleshadow.

Hi, I got the german version of TC 2.5 and have after installation only some new ships with "ReadText XXX-XXXX".
Is it possible to add the missing reads in any script or file?

Greetings

Only 7 of the Main guns work on this ship. It shows as placed but the gun does not work. (does not fire)...I like to mix weapon types and like the gun fire to balance (right side/left side)...while balancing the guns I noticed that gun 8 does not fire and does not show up in the graphics when placed. Even with something in gun slot 8...one wing has 3 guns showing while the other has 4. This is true for both versions of the fighter.

I discovered this while placing guns in different slots to determine which slot had which gun mount on the ship. Slot 8 can hold a gun but it does not show up in the graphics and does not fire. To determine if it was a graphic problem I use weapons with AMMO...no ammo is expended from a weapon in slot 8.

@JaySuS. Very, very nice looking ships you have created here!

I'm curious and interested - how much time went into making these ships? And what software did you use?

For software he would of had to use either gmax or 3dsmax. Only these two programs can export to X3's format, but he could of modeled and textured in other programs.

Is there a way to get these ships into XSP mode so I could load them in PM as this mod does not play well with other mods--especially the PM Tships changes.

still need to fix that text file thing however and the third turret on the autumn rain which somehow always ends up at the 0,0,0 position with 0,0,0 rotation instead of where it belongs...
Found it: 'camradummy' typo in the 4th cockpit descriptor in tships
Also found the reason for the missing gun: The path index in tships was shifted forward, referring to 1-8 in the scene file as 2-9.

Nevermind, that wasn't it (for turret 3). The missing gun is fixed. There's other scene.bod <=> tships weirdness though.

edit: well i was asking for a bit of X3 editor 2 guidance, but i sussed it out overnight

BTW, i've been using your ships and they're ace. The Raven is awesome, the autumn rain just perfect.

I cant seem to get this mod to work? Do I use the script editor somehow? I just cant find it in there in game. What am I missing? I also cant find the ships in the cheat menue. Are they only for me to go and find at shipyards? I cant find em!!!

Ratlaw · Post by **Ratlaw** » Wed, 17. Mar 10, 06:31

So, with this script/mod, I can only find these ships in there shipyards. I can access them in my cheat menue for ships?

Somehow, your ships arnt in the download. They are listed in the language/name file (Suddenly forgetting the name of it.

) But they arnet in TShips.

It would be great if you could fix this, as i want to fly my own Autmun Rain.

So, this script/mod is broken?

Currently.

Its a simple mistake of uploading the wrong file, though. It'll be fixed soon.

Has anyone actually figured out how to fix the name problem yet? I've been playing around with it trying to get it squared away for a while now and haven't had any luck, mostly cause I'm not familiar with the file paths for this mod. as it stands, this is what it looks like...

the ship names and descriptions are located in a file named t\8457-L044.pck

now from what I have gleaned on this forum, there is a file that ends with a 6 or a 7 that needs to be switched to a 7 or a 6 or some gibberish like that. thing is, there is no such file to begin with.

so, I tried changing the 7 in the 8457 to a 6. not surprisingly, it didn't fix a thing.
I suspect the entire file needs to be renamed, but I have no idea what to, all I know is inside of doubleshadows X3 editor 2, the description field refers to a "string[17:9877] not found" in the instance of the argon drifter.

any insight from more learned minds?
