Does the stand-alone server support "off-site" hosting for files needed on the server?
For example, I'm running a server with a rather large mission pack/model pack. I want to host the files on my website. Can I put a URL somewhere and have the client get the needed files from there?

I love this idea! Enough that I'd try it myself if I wasn't already working on a bunch of stuff. Who knows, I might anyway. :D But this sort of thing still sounds like it might be just above my experience level... :blah:
So let's brainstorm. The way I imagine it is something like the Independence War 2 contact list:

Basically a mini-escort list, which shows a scrollable list in the same order as you get from pressing the T / shift-T keys, and the currently selected target highlighted.
Perhaps have the option of changing the list to hostiles only when H is pressed (or friendlies only with F).
The main problem I can think of with this is when missions have lots of targets, you're not much better off than before... the list can only take up so much of the screen before it's in the way.
Plus there's all the stats -- what do we want to show and what do we have room for? Name and health, sure... how about speed? distance? class?

i see it as a simple scroll bar, with the nearest ship first on the list,i like the ctrl h =hostile , ctrl f =freindly that works for me , i think as regards to the info for each ship, 1 letter f=fighter b=bomber etc and its health would be enough.
if i needed more info i could select vessel and return to normal hud box with full info , so would need some command to choose between the two huds, that way it wouldnt take up any more space on screen,
then again its just a wish
;) :D ;) :D ;) :D

id also like an independent secondary weapon targeting system so i can defend against one ship and blow the **** out of another with my rockets, this way i wouldnt have to respawn so often ..........

So hang on, which ship would you be pointing at?
Oooh! Do you mean, you'd have one ship targeted and waiting for a missile lock, meanwhile firing primaries at another ship visible on the screen? so you'd want a lead indicator for the second ship? 'cos I'm working on that :D
