Ok, blender ****s with the PCS conversion. Don't use it.

What!! Blender doesn't even save in COB! I do admit that its not good for the placement of the sub-objects though.

Well duh.

Blender will NOT fuxor anything up, IF it's done right. If you mess around like a proverbial hippo you'll end up with crossing polys, extra verts, non-flat polys and crap like that. Those are what **** up conversions.

You DON'T do subobjects in Blender. The hierarchy for .dxf models is totally different from .cob, and you WILL end up with a fuxored up ship.

Besides, Maya owns both LW and MAX, but damn it costs a hefty load. Lightwave owns MAX, in modeling, animation and rendering, as soon as you learn to use it properly. And no ghey icons either.

I'll admit that I have not made a successful ship, but alls I said was bleder good for the modeling and something like truespace used for the object placement. Although you do need to make the parts(ship, engine stuff, and sub-objects) seperat files to do make it.
