New ship issues

[Tortured_Soul]

I honestly do not know how it's too complicated or time sonsuming to Hardpoint your own models, honestly it's not.

In Milkshape, assuming you know where the Hardpoints are going to be and you've models the Hardpoint mounts (a la the vanilla ships have small boxes where the HPs are to go) than all you ned to do is:

1) Select the faces that the hardpoint should attach to
2) Duplicate these faces (Ctrl + D)
3) Scale this duplicate by .00001
4) Move it along it's normal into the model by approx .02 Milkshape units
5) Apply a completly transparent texture, even a 1x1 would do.
6) Rename this duplicated section accoring to the naming convention*

It's not difficult, this is how I used to do it way back when, frankly, if you're not doing it, it's laziness. Obviously, use HardCMP if you want, but it's not my preferred method.

* Naming Convention:

Hp|Type|Name: Type will be either Fixed or Revolute: Name will be HpTurret01, HpEngine01, HpMount, etc
