I made new Class in Objectypes.tbl "Mobile". Idea was, that ship with this class, would be treated as cruisers by ships (ships would use "huge" weapons on it, and capital ships could pursue this ship), but it could perform task that all fighter could do. It works well with one exception. Big ships can pursue this ship class, but still can't fire Huge weapons. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

begs the question how does the "Huge" flag work in the weapons table, is it hard coded to certain ship types?  I ask because the wording in the wiki is

Allows this weapon to do the final 10% damage to a ship with the "Big Damage" flag. Also the AI will not try to hit fighters with it.

I would read that to be that it wont attack ships flagged with fighter (or possibly bomber) but this that the case?

I am pretty sure you can't reliably create new classes in that table yet?  Wanderer had worked on extending its functionality enough to allow that, but I didn't think it was recommended yet.

i have created a new class on my objecttypes.tbl for my startrek mod, that partially allows me to have capital ships fly like fighters without being retarded
