I had a really funny thing happen with this mod yesterday. I hired the Bloodfang, and every time I went into combat the Bloodfang was pointed backwards and had to turn 180 degrees.
I don't know if this was something with the mod, but I never saw it playing without the mod.
Actually, there are times when I'd like to have ships pointing in different directions when entering combat. Especially when I'm going to fight the Urluquai.
I've been playing your mod solid for days and not found anything like that. I actually HOPE I find it like that, as it would be useful in fighting the Urluquai.
Bizarre. DO they spin around at the start or do they just stay facing the wrong way? I will occasionally get ships that are a little askew and reorient themselves at the start of the fight, but I think I got that in the original game too.
They spin 180 degrees at the start. If you can figure out a way to specify ships in the fleet to enter facing backwards and stay that way it would be very useful (as would a rear-facing weapon on the corvette and frigate, but that's another topic).
