Assuming that that is japanese, the i's are treated like long e's and the "ai" is read almost like a long i.

Of course, since the term "fi" can only be represented in katakana (フィ) the term Fichikai would have to be translated into katakana as フィチ カイ, making it a borrowed word of some kind.

The word "Fichikai" is Japanese in origin, though I just made it up. It's pronounced "Fee-chee-kaee".
On a side note, i've closed Fichikai Industries. I suppose I should've made a proper post saying so...

Counterpoint:

Since "fi" isn't used in any words of Japanese origin, it must be borrowed from another language and "Japanified" ;) :roll:

By "Japanese origin", I mean the pronunciation.
Do you speak Japanese (fluently)?

Not fluently, but I know enough to spot common errors when someone tries to japanify something.

Hi I'm new here I like your mod's but I can't get them to work it gives me a UNIT error or something like that. I can get half your ship mods working but I can't get another half without deleting the first half. So first where do I put the txt files and what do I do with them. Also why does it give me a UNIT error I placed all the files in the "Extensions folder"
Last you should make instructions clear not just" Download, Place in extensions" Thank you

the reson the instructions are so simple is because there is an official explanation and stuff... somewhere.

There's either a maximum of eight or twelve ship mods that can load into the game at one time.

Txt files? Extensions won't work if the files are txt!Open and save all the txt(Well...click "save as") files, but only alter the name by adding a .xml at the end. If you want...create a folder in the extentions folder called spare. The game won't touch this. Put spare mods in it. And UNIT? It's UNID. Open up the mods...if it's an XML doc, click open with wordpad or notepad. See the <ENTITY part? See the 0x****** ? That's the UNID. YOu can't have 2 mods with the same UNID, or else it gives you an ERROR.

Ok I understand the ship one so thats fine. for the UNID Error I just change the "<ENTITY Ox****** to something random or specific?

Edit: Ok it turns out so far the devices pack one Credit Card and reactor UNID was "DOC40341"

At this point i'd like to remind everyone that Fichikai Industries is closed down!
Though if you've been downloading them from here, I can't really blame you since I never bothered mentioning it on the OTF...

If you care to look on the first post in this topic, you will see in nice big red writing that I have properly stated that Fichikai is closed.

I'm still modding, Apis. I just made a new company - KensaiCorp.
