Title: Ship Names
Post by: colecampbell666 on March 26, 2007, 01:29:34 pm
If you look at the GTD Bastion, Galatea, or any other main campaign Orion for that matter, the name is on the side beside the fighterbay. Also on the cover of FS2 the Deimos has GTD Deimos on the side. It'd be a good feature if you modified FRED2 so that when you entered the name of any freighter size+ ship it would appear on the side. I'd do it if I had any idea how but i don't, so there. :confused: :shaking: :eek2:

It's quite near to having that a reality, but far from being automatic. You still have to make a map file and then use texture replace. So it's basically possible to have names of the ship on the actual hull, but it won't be automatic.

No one has shouted at you for not knowing about an engine feature so I'll thank you not to do it to other people either.

Never fear, Smith is here! :p

Does this mean I'm old? Because I know what thats from. I don't really see how it correlates to this, but I know what it is.


@readsniper: I think Kara meant old as in duration alive, not as in HLP age.

It's a reference to both Lost in Space (the original series) and the fact that the last time this subject was brought up, the discussion did not end well.

Oh, well I know about Lost in Space. I just thought there was some community inside joke I missed, or something.
