LOL yea, my mistake I'll try jettison-cargo later tonight, i gotta work in 50 minutes

Ok, Jittison cargo worked perfectly Goober thx for the hint, however, the AI is so stupid it was doing this...



Yes, that's right, it just sat there bumping into the Triton

I'll see if repositioning my waypoint can help.... *sigh*
(And they call it Artificial Inteligence ?

[EDIT]

Changing the waypoint does zilch, keeps bouncing onto the hull of the Triton

Does anyone have an idea on this? The only way i can get it to dock is if i enable the engines on the triton, but then it'll move away from the TAC 1 container... There's got to be a way right?

[EDIT2]
Seems that when the engines have 1% or higher, you can dock, engines dead = no dock

Is this a bug? Or is this normal behaviour? I'm going to test some more stuff, maybe turn off the glow-effects for the engines or something like that, but still, it's anoying

Yeah, the artificial idiots do that quite often when docking. Moving around the paths used for docking in the Triton's pof file might help, since some of the default models don't have those positioned too well.

Erm, this isn't for your mod with the Angel is it... because the Triton and the TC-TRI are a matched pair - both were designed and first appeared at the same time - no TC-TRI, no triton...

If not, then just ignore this post.

Argh... Ok, that's it, i'm appointing you to "technical advisor"

Ok, so i'll have to replace the Triton, any big FS1 freighters you can think of?

Erm, the Poseidon and Chronos (the Amazon Advanced model is a recyled GTFr Chronos from FS1, or you can get the proper Chronos from GE's Port. Neither were very big though, and which one you use depends more on what sort of cargo needs hauling.

The Chronos was designed to take TAC1s, and it's a civillian freighter. The Poseidon was designed to take the smaller Caro containers (TC 1 TSC 1 etc.) and it's a military freighter.

Of course, since this is Pre FS1, if you can find an old looking Freighter mod, you coul use that as a the bulk freighter of the day, retired before the Great War.
