				can any one help me, i have modelled a new ship but when i put a phaser on my ship it shows it in the correct place on MPE but in game its not  firing from the phaser its fireing about a ship length in front of the ship.
			
- 
				In MPE when you've selected the phaser property, can you see a large white ring that extends around the ship?
			
- 
				yes
 
- 
				That is where the actual phaser fires from. If you look in the first tab for the phaser property, look on the left and you should see something titled "Ellipse Size" with 2 boxes called Length and Width underneath. To be really simple, just change both to 0.01 and you'll have a pinpoint phaser. 
 
 Or you can try and be clever and use L and W to align the white ring along the phaser array, but this may require moving the phaser itself around a bit.
 
 Hope that helps. :)
- 
				Hmmm thank you my friend... but its not worked lol
 
 i have the phaser ring exactly where it should be but it still fires from out in space
- 
				did you change the size?
			
- 
				If it's firing from space you might need to bring the locations z axis down a bit.
			
- 
				cheers, but its fireing from space in the fronto of the ship not above
			
- 
				than try to relocate it again
