Ah, good. You're modding quite a bit. It's like watching myself at the start of the year ;)
I'll try it out.

EDIT: What, no phaser or shield? You should've also made your own armor instead of using XMH.
I'm also wondering why you used missiles the DM600 rack...

I think you should make a Delta Flyer...it's loads cooler than any of the other shuttles :)

Check the items/table list in the code. It's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you may get, but you will get a weapon and a shield (either level 1 or 2 only). The DM600 is either for use or to sell. Players choice.

I could have made my own armor but I wanted to use only the items already in the game. I haven't seen any ship use the XMH armor and since it can't be repaired by any early station, it was a prime choice for armor in that it should add to the maintenance challenge.

The Delta Flyer? I have the mesh and can make a DF mod if you like.

Hey, I just played this and reckon it would work better if it was smaller and lighter. I love the graphics, especially the shield, but it seems a bit big and heavy for a little shuttle craft.
It handles like the Freighter, but with less cargo space, and the extra device slot will go on a hold anyway.

Oh, by the way, I'm "Vinnie" off the UTF. I just haven't been on in months. I'm working on some new mods now though, since you can now make independently targeted weapons. Expect a lot of capital ship weaponry.

Smaller, graphic-wise, I originally made the shuttle half the size it is now but it lost a lot of mesh details as well as the glowing nacelles. It was also lighter, faster and less cargo space as well. But, I traded all that in for better in-game graphics with its current size.

If we were actually going by scale, that shuttle would only be a little speck in comparison to the stations. :shock:

I had some vintech mods at one point.
They were some of the first mods that I downloaded, 0.95 version.

And that's one of the beauties of mods... You can change them to suit your own desires. :D
