Thanks for the hard work, and for all the crystal fish. lol.

new for MODs: flexible dead/ asleep/ board/ capture flags on hulls (for mods)

hey, does this mean that we can now capture spacehulks? I tried to mod this before with the damoclese flag, and it worked to an extent. the problem was that after the captured hulk was killed in combat, it turned back into a hulk that couldnt be destroyed or re-captured. thus trapping the game in the combat screen.

does this also mean that hostile ships are potentially boardable and captureable in combat?

I guess I could just download the patch and see if its internally documented, instead of asking silly questions.

[Fingers]

Yes, you could make a hostile boardable ship with these flags.

I think that the patch made it so all the fighters in the opening screen have little red trangles around them which i find disagreeable.

Was it lke that before? Actually were their fighters in there before? I dont think there were... maybe im going crazy.

[Puke]

theres always been fighters, with either green or red triangles, depending on what race they were. humans had green.

it occurs to me that FOF indicators may be obscure to colorblind males... i wonder if thats a big problem in the real world?

Well, the military tends to use -blue- and not green, which wouldn't cause that issue..dunno if that's why though.
