It will should work automatically for ships that use their default armament (assuming the VPs change the default armament).  If they use a custom armament, then they will need to be changed.

[Wanderer]

As of now it seems like it wont do that automagically but instead the shivan secondary weapons have to be called as custom weapons.

[Droid803]

It should be a find-and-replace job if you open the default missions with something like Notepad >.>

[Retsof]

Could there be a code like:

Code: [Select]

If
>Shivan
>>Secondary
>>>Cyclops
Replace
>Shivan
>>Secondary
>>>ShivCyclopsThat automatically takes care of this without having to edit things yourself?
I know nothing about coding though, so this is more like a SEXP than a code.

[Commander Zane]

Call me stupid...I can't help but thing they belong in the TES genre...Daedric doodads...

[FreeSpaceFreak]

And a cookie to the anyone who can guess the inspiration for the unusual shape of the cyclops equivillant - the leftmost horseshoe shaped one.

Got it! It looks like a Bes.

[Vasudan Admiral]

Nope. Not the bes nor a cylon raider. Not a ship of any kind in fact, but still nerdy.

[Flipside]

It looks like a symbol I've seen somewhere, some kind of insignia?

[Cobra]

The Oblivion insignia?

[lostllama]

I think I've seen something resembling the shape of it on a dark eldar miniature for that Warhammer 40K game. A sort of close combat weapon.

That's nerdy, is it not?

Edit: Or a dark eldar helmet.

[Admiral Nelson]

Barad-dûr?

[blowfish]

Vaguely reminds me of that colonial symbol from BSG (the bird one), but not really.

[Galemp]

You'll never guess. You deserve some hints.

Spoiler:

It's from a sci-fi movie series.

Spoiler:

It is a part of a weapon featured in that series.

[Mars]

Death Star reactor?

[Droid803]

Death Star reactor?

When did the Death Star reactor ever look like that?

It looks like this:

[Flaming_Sword]

*drool*

I am *so* going to use these when they come out.

[CKid]

Is it the spearhead / dart from the movie Predator 2?

[Droid803]

*snip*

*drool*

I am *so* going to use these when they come out.

Ditto. Noone wants to see the ****ty reskins I'm using now 

EDIT:

I found it!
Its This:


(poison dart from SW Episode 2)

Am I right?

[Agent_Koopa]

Looks like a Shriekbat to me.

[Galemp]

Is it the spearhead / dart from the movie Predator 2?

DING DING DING DING DING!! We have a winner!
