For the mission i'm working on, i need to fake the presence of a ship.
It is supposed to be visible in the target thingy in the bottom left corner.

My first thought was, to add a ship and rename it's class, but the original ship is showing up.
For example: the player scouts an area with low visibily, the the target computer shows an Lucifer destroyer, but the ship the player encounters is only fightersize ( Zeus, Athena, whatever ).
My second thought was to create an object without textures, and name it LuciferSD#, but i'm trying to avoid that.


Any ideas how to accomplish that?

Uhm, in order to do that you need to create a new table.

Check the SJD Sathanas table - it uses the trick you're looking for: a display model that is different from the real one.

Or you can simply change-ship-model. Depends on how close you want the player to get before they figure out it's not what they thought it was.
