And with the SCP you can also have "$POF target LOD: 0" underneath that to give you more control.

So basically 2 different models for the target box and the ship itself?

That's why they look so different...

[Mobius]

Interesting...that would be perfect for the S-21 Spectre...fantastic!

This is much more noticeable in Into the Lion's Den, since you can target the ships there and see them from their external view. The game contains a low detail Sathanas model (but which has the right scale) that would have been ideal here, but they instead used that little tetrahedron for some reason.

Given the whole thing with the LODs I suspect I can think of the reason. The SJD was originally meant to be targetable. That way if you selected it you'd see the Sathanas in your targeting box. They probably went over to making them invisible later on in the mission design phase.

Yeah. Cause how would you be able realistically to target something several AU away?

When your radar range is set to ∞...

[blowfish]

How do they make it so that when you target an SJD, it looks like a tetrahedron when you're next to it, but an actual sath in the radar?

Hopefully the FSU guys will fix this at some point...
