EDIT: Also super weird, collisions with docking rings don't work. I have no idea why this is.

One of the first things you need for a kitbash ship pack mod with capital ships is a "ghost docking ring". The reasons for that should be somewhat obvious - nobody could or wanted to make large ships undock from the mooring fixture instead of the docking ring.

I think that such a mod is in the default package with Freelancer Mod Manager. Does comparing the docking ring data with the original show no difference?

PLEASE NO.

Long Spyglass is long and loves to hug many rocks. :<

Perhaps it is a design problem of the Spyglass, rather - being a very poor ship for this type of activity. This is one of the reasons why Lane Hackers use it rarely.
When replacing the Spyglass model was discussed previously, I proposed that it should be reduced in size (and in hull strength etc. to compensate). That would, of course, make it less useful for a different type of activity.


Anyway, collision damage with asteroids could work, as long as it allows the player to fly through the field at a reduced speed with minimal damage. Such as taking no damage when flying through the field at impulse or half impulse speed. It should be heavily velocity-dependent.
