what are normals and how do you calculate them
specificly how do you do dock point in PCS

[Roanoke]

For docking in PCS, it's just a " 1" value. So if you're ship is to have a dock point ot it's top, it would be 1 in the Normal Y axis. If it has a dock point on the underneath (I was gonna say bottom ) it would be -1 in Y. See Bobbaou's tutorial (in his sig) for more info.

Use ModelView to check your path too.

a wise man once said, "a normal is a point that a point points to"

Heh, couldn't put it better myself.

A normal is a vector in xyz space where the xyz values indicate the movement in that angle, and thus which shows direction.
