Thanks for the info and advice, but does anyone know if the amount of points for promotion can be changed via a def file?

Yup, I appreciate all your help btw!

One more question though, is there a way I could activate mouse looking for chase view mode? (Like what is available in 'virtual cockpit' mode in fighters)

Sorry for the late reply, but I already found it. In fact I have as of now relocated the chase view to right in front of the starships' bridges. Adds a very intimate and intense feeling to starship to starship combat. If anyone wants, I can post the def files online.

<t> I have gotten good at earning points with fighters (about 200-800 points average), and frigates, destroyers and cruisers (all about 500-2000 points average).<br/>
<br/>
I cannot for the life of me however figure out how to make more than 200-300 points with a carrier. Is there some trick to ...

Which section of the def file do I edit? I opened the asher.def file and all i saw was ship stat info... thruster locations, ship description, weapon info, etc.

There are currently no stock capital ship bridges. Not even all the fighters have cockpits. Any created bridges will be custom work.

<t> Awesome that you are doing this! Three questions though:<br/>
<br/>
1) Are the virtual bridges for the stock game's ships, or custom ones you are creating?<br/>
<br/>
2) Will you be looking out over the ship from the bridge? By this I mean will you be able to see the front half of your ...

<t> I need to restore my pilot too. I was soo close to becoming a grand admiral and my computer crashed!<br/>

Has anyone ever attempted to make 3d virtual bridges for frigate, destroyer, cruiser, and/or carrier classes? I think it would add a lot to the feeling of being a captain of a large starship.
