Assuming my FS2 install is located in C:\Games\FreeSpace2
Where the heck is ships.tbl actually LOCATED? I can't find it, and I feel like a TOTAL dunce.

There's one in root_fs2.vp, I think that's the only one.

[Malarthi]

And I extract that how?

[Huggybaby]

You use VPView32, then select ships.tbl, then Extract to directory.

I didn't have to use that dllpack, so try without it first.

Thanks a million!

My pleasure, I just learned the same thing only a few days ago.

Ok so now HERE'S the big question. Any way for whatever is pulled up using arrrrwalktheplank to be commanded using the communications menu? That would be the cream del cream.

Just change the line $Flags. To have the complete order list, you should add "Fighter" or "Bomber". It would be fun to command a wing of Colossi
Anyway, big ships may behave in a strange way, so be careful.
