Special note, if you've downloaded the 3.3a patch, an update is on the way. It contains both the fix for the Xill, and the Explorer. Because of a miss-named map file, the glow and shine maps for one of the Explorer base textures weren't being used. Furthermore, these and the lower lod textures had to be altered to remove the "cortez" part, which is now on a nameplate submodel with its own separate map. By default, this is mapped as "invisible" but using FRED's texture replacement system, you can select the Cortez name plate, or create and add-in one of your own. The new patch file will be named the same as the previous one, so just replace the VP file, and extract and rename the new ships file if you're using the -adv version. The fixed patch is currently on the team FTP, and Stithe will make it available for general download as soon he can. When the fixed patch is available for download, a message will be posted here.
