Code Release

Easy may not be quite the word, but you could do, for instance, iSim.SimsInRadius(possible_cargo_carrier, 0.5km, T_CargoPod), then iterate through it checking IsDockedTo(possible_cargo_carrier, cargo_pod) for each element.

Thanks, but I already tried that. It seems, (unless I really goofed somewheres) that once the pod is docked to a freighter the server no longer sees it untill it is undocked again. ( but at least that keeps the server from trying to re-place the docked pod back to where it was while the ship it's docked to is cruising around)

I thought it would be kinda dumm if you have to stop in the middle of the Jumpgate and undock your freight before you fly through it on the way back home

Oh. Sounds like yet another instance where the client/server app behaves slightly differently from the single-player game to maintain synchronisation.

Have you tried Sim.Children(freighter)? I'd think the server must still know the pods exist: I assume you can shoot docked pods off their parent as in the single-player game?

Thanks, I'll try that. Should be able to get a ChildCount fairly easy
Yes, the server does ( or did at one point) recognize them somehow, because the camera pans to an external view whenever one is shot off

Yoohoo!

Unless someone really screams - I would like to postpone carriers and other fighter carriers until phase two (or so). There should be more than enough cruisers and destroyers to fight. And it gives us focus on these first few missions and story. (basically, I am looking to trim features. And I don't expect the player to own a carrier in this first release, so all the effort will be unused.) There are two more phases to go. The player is already getting the ability to purchase ships and hire wingmen, so he will not need T fighters.

Huh? Carriers? Aw don't worry. It's not the most important feature. Nowhere near it infact.
