I found a bunch of pre-exported ships for ms3D in your FLpack. I downloaded it ages ago, around the time you first made it. Even though I was looking for a non-vanilla ship for refrence of size, still thought it would be useful to point out those are tucked away in there.
Took me a while but I found the mat files I was loking for. Apparently the Freelancer devs decided they'd screw with me by abbreviating the pirate line of ships .cmp files co_ instead of pi_ and vise versa for the corsair line of ships. All of the .mat files for both lines are in the co_ mat file, though.
Thanks for the help.
EDIT: Okay, new question about modeling. This is prob'ly one for someone with more modeling experience. So when I'm building a model I find that some of my edges don't line up perfectly, and it's hard to line them up like this:
Can anyone suggest an easy way to line them up perfectly? Cause right now I can only get them either side of perfect =/
