[color=#33FFFF]= .SUR's - A visual how to guide =

By NEXUS

As I have said said in other threads I have been helping in the conceptual department on another mod called Shattered Worlds. Since it was SW's goal to be a completely vanilla mod I have contacted various Discovery ship wrights for permission to use their work so that since there are many great FL artists in this community. Part of the deal we made with the modelers was to exchange working custom .SUR's and tools required to make them.

Since there is a high demand among all teh members or discovery to know how to fix .SUR's, the knowledge is yours. It is only fair since are using a portion of your ship. Cudos to anyone brave enough to try this, from what I understand sur's can be finicky and take allot of trial and error.

This tutorial was written by SW mod leader Foresaken.

This tut is not for the weak of heart. This isn't the only way to make SUR's either. There are those that think that this method is BS, but it works... and this is the best way to make EXACT matching SURS. Ive made over 50+ SURs for ships and they all seem to be working great. I SOOOOO hope someone takes the time to learn this. If you can do it, you will be one of the few in the FL community that can, and we can drink shots together and talk about the making SUR's lmao j/k...

Anyways, here it goes....
