What 'might' look as if they have soo much : unlike we 'human' player can only use bats and bots to 'repair ti the full', they seem to use only a few at a time, not repairing fully but only partial, lets them use them over a longer time.

Is there somewhere a 'manual' how to use it ?

AHHHH ! Got it

Have a question on using the mentioned tool.
- I have successfully exported the .dds files of a .cmp file
- I have created a new .dds file, that shall replace one of the exported

How do I 'import' this new .dds file into the .cmp file ?
What I have tried/done yet :
- renamed my .dds file to the one, that I will replace
- put all .dds files (the new renamed one and the others, that should stay) into a new folder
- set UTF Directory path to location of the .ccmp file
- set Image Directory path to the aforementioned new folder
- tagged 'Import Images to UTF'
- 'Verbose' stayed tagged

All I got :
Total UTF Files Read: 1
Total UTF Texture Libraries: 0
Total UTF Files Modified: 0
Total Images Imported: 0
Total Time: 0 seconds

Tried it with renaming the .cmp file, tried it with renaming the image (.dds) files, ... always the same.

What do I wrong ?

@SWAT_OP-R8R great they they are there and usable at all in that way

We'll have to take it as their 'specialities' to be considered - before buying

kk, tried docking with an Armored Transport at Battleship Missouri, as Martind stated I came from its starboard (right) side, with almost no speed.
First it looked as if I would get stucked - similar to CF 1.9 - in docking sequence

AT docking 1

but I "waited" a bit before minimizing and closing from desktop. And ... IT MOVES ...

AT docking 2

ccurios I waited and then - by itself - it moved into this position

AT docking 3

HURRAH !! ... and finally docked. ... with a wee hull damage penalty worth 11$ .

Experience from Starflier TDM :
depends on number of participants = the more the better (as always ) , then 30 minutes can be enough
However, the kill-count will be reduced nevertheless, compared to VHF fights.

But, I would be happy to go with 45 minutes

Tried todays Tour de Universe, it was set from 1st Waypoint Hyperspace to endpoint Texas with start time 20:00 server time
- joined at about 20:05
- reached Scotia at about 20:12
- system tag prizes (100.000) payed and announced
- servercrash at about 20:15/20:16
- Tour is gone => no further system tag prizes => on "/gti" : "tour has ended, Next tour 2015-04-27 16:00
Further observations :
I couldn't register for this next tour (on "/jointour" no reaction at all) while others, not participating todays tour could.

(btw : todays tour couldn't have be done in 1 hour in a fightercraft, maybe BS/DN with higher cruise speed. Finished it in about 1 hour 30 minutes, even with "speed docking" and no "safety" dock it would still have been anleast 1 hour 25 min. Therefor : no report on "finishing prize" possible today.)

Banning Nighthunter to honor this decision

kk, here's a save that - hopefully - fullfills your expectations and by me estimated skills
[xattach=5556][/xattach]
One I had a lot of ... fun achieving

4th SP mission , ... "vanilla" od CF-addition ?

... war schon da , aber dann ist alles gut

... can't ignore his roots

... muß ich mal nach Südheide gehen ...

@woolfman EK funktioniert in Meteroiotenfeldern hervorragend, nur ... in EK bist du nur ein Meteorit unter vielen, ... und wirst entsprechend von den anderen Meteoriten herum- und gerne aus der Bahn geschubst

IMO easiest way and tool to get started : notepad

Start and see what changes using it on the numerous .ini files .

There are numerous editing and modding tutorials you can find here : https://swat-portal.com/forum/…odding-Boards-Freelancer/ and tools for getting files into a 'workable' format (like bini lite) in the Filebase.

I have to apologize, looking through your earlier post ... you don't seem to be a complete newbie .
Why don't you tell/show us a bit more of what you have and what you plan ?

... will have to test that. The "new" Armored Transport definitly docks better at stations. And I tried it on some BS arleady as well without probs. Mybe something "special" to the Battleship Missouri. Will try that.

Btw, did you get this Armored Transport after CF 2.0 or is it an "old" one ?

Let's assume ... larger installations, or installations of larger capabiliies, need a lot of ... additional internal components, special energy converters, fire directors, maintaining crew compartments, etc.
The 'turret' you see on its outside is just the peak of an iceberg

TY Ajay, edited lexicon-entry accordingly

Have you ever seen a large, asteroid like structure ? Perhaps only appearing briefly in your sight on the left or right while flying through the 'north' of the system ?

Look out for it and investigate a bit more, there might be something .... inside. Oh, and be carefull, there's a lot of radiation around and sometimes big buncches of nomads.
