They do fit over each other. I even modelled in grooves and rails for them to slide over each other. (I'll probably take those out for the final release though.)



Like I said before, what I'll do is have the center of rotation far far away from the doors and use some trig to find out how much to rotate them by. If it's just a degree or something, from that distance from the "center" it'll just look like translation. Any unwanted effects should be minimal.

And it'll hold 1 squad of fighters, 12 fighters, 4 groups of 3, 3 groups of 4, which ever works.

An actual mission is more accurate than a cutscene. Especially since the Colossus cutscene lists incorrect data. The Colossus does not have 45 laser turrets, for example.

Could you please point me where it said that? I just went through the first loop and saw nothing about 12 wings in a squad.

In that case I'd put the pivot way above the ship, so that at worst they roll up behind one another.
who needs a signature? ;)
