:lostit:
when I put in one of the few Dominion ships I've downloaded, I noticed something unusual. they come in on MY side as allies, rather than as enemy. since this has happened before with a well done TOS carrier ship, the first place I looked was the "genus" and "species" listing in the hardpoint. the species is listed as "402", and I KNOW that's not correct. does anyone have a "definition" or a faq equivalent for what these numbers mean?

As a matter of fact I do. This is something I discovered in a thread ages ago. As far as a reference is concerened, it explains what the numbers mean in ship species. I thought it may come in handy someday (that day must be today) because I like to edit hardpoints, or if I ever figured out how to make my own custom hardpoint using MPE to get non-hp'd models in game. Therefore, I kept it on file. Hope this helps.
Here is something sneaker has learned about the "species ship" crap knowbody seems to know what to do with.
This is regarding the species tag on each ships hardpoint file. It goes something like this:
###############################################
Akira = App.ShipProperty_Create("Akira")
Akira.SetGenus(1)
Akira.SetSpecies(103)
Akira.SetMass(800.000000)
Akira.SetRotationalInertia(28000.000000)
Akira.SetShipName("Centaur")
Akira.SetModelFilename("data/Models/Ships/Akira/Akira.nif")
Akira.SetDamageResolution(7.000000)
Akira.SetAffiliation(0)
Akira.SetStationary(0)
Akira.SetAIString("FedAttack")
Akira.SetDeathExplosionSound("g_lsDeathExplosions")
App.g_kModelPropertyManager.RegisterLocalTemplate(Akira)
###############################################
that is the ships property script. look specifically at this line:
Akira.SetSpecies(103)
That number ((103)) indicates that the ship is federation. Anything from 100 to 199 is Federation, 200 to 299 is cardassian, 300 to 399 is romulan, 400 to 499 is klingon, 500 to 599 is kessok, 600 to 699 is ferengi. and 700 to 799 looks to be miscellaneous. PLEASE when you make a hardpoint file, make the ship number proper. Dont just copy it in from some other ship and change the names around, make sure u get the species correct or some mods MAY NOT WORK!

looking at KM's settings. 700's are used for Borg ships, and 900's for the Dominion ones.
