Any suggestions?

There is also "holes" in the model that gun shots go through.

WELL THAT IS SURE A STRANGE BUG. I can't see anything because of the nebula!

Also use the latest version of PCS2 please.

The latest PCS2 versions can manually set radius. Set it to an appropriate number.
Might want to purge BSP cache to try and fix collision holes as well.

Mjn told me otherwise.

Well... by not doing that. Or by hand-tweaking the radius using the aforementioned radius override in the latest new PCS2 build(s) so that it encompasses the whole ship.

If you converted the ship using the latest (Jan 31) build, then yeah, it has a bug which causes the radius field to get rather erratic values when importing a fresh model.

What I do if I need to tweak a bounding box or radius (which, apparently, is not something you need to be doing after all) is that I'll just convert the ship using an older build and then load up the pof in the latest build and do the bounding box or radius tweaks as a separate final step.

Nah I think I may of messed with the Radius by mistake.
