Yuck, use the hex or square instead and turn off the centering lines. You'll get a much better idea of scaling and centering problems that way.

I don't know how to turn on the hex thing. I am getting the firing arcs down though. (Thank you.)

About that bounding box.... what the hell is it, and do you know how I can adjust it? Could it be for the shields???

I have made some progress.

I have discovered that with some models the X Y and Z are different.

For the ones I am using, the Z = forward and back. The X = left and right, and Y = Up and down.

Hit "H" twice to get the hex.
The bounding box is based on the model's dimensions and spatial coordinates. Haven't a clue if the game actually uses it.

The first two ships in your pic, did you rotate them in your modeling program or in the XFileClasses file?

The hex is just to help show scale. It's size is constant so I use it to compare a new model to the same class of stock in order to get my new one to be of a similar size.

Well it took me all day to do this, but I am finally done. The set is completed. It is my first set so please keep that in mind. I hope you enjoy it.

Atrocities please see attached file. Load it into your ST:TNG set and look at the Destroyer hull size. That is all I had time to do this morning. If you like I will work on the rest after getting home. Now time to go taint some young minds to the Space Empires series; and you know teach them some social science crap too. But mainly Space Empires!

Congratulations Atrocities!
Now that the ice is broken I am eager to see your other 99 races adapted to SE V.

One small problem I encountered: there seems to be no AI design creation.

This is the fully working set. I have done all the sips slots. They didn't come out even across the sizes but the models themselves aren't even. I decided to go with the models instead of some kind of gradual increase in number of slots. The way I think of it with three decks the actual number of slots per deck shouldn't matter. I also got the ones like drones and fighter that weren't showing up fixed. Hope you like it. It is in zip format this time so you know what to do with it. Unzip and replace the file there.
