I've been working on my first model, and I would like to know how to set the maximum engine/shield equippable for the ship. also, is there any way to set an xmesh for when the guns are firing?
here are some pics

you modify the .template stats for what the max values are...
check out the .template for the wayfarer for example

animation when firing
is there an option for setting an animation/texture for when the guns are firing? I could use this to make stuff like a spinning gattling cannon or a glow that appears when u fire your lasers

on second thought--you can make a xmesh file for each weapon....make those an animated texture and I could easily make the animation STOP when the guns stop firing
just make a
meshes/weapons/MYWEAPONNNAME.xmesh
I think it needs to be all in upcase
then you set the draw_weapons variable to "true" in weapon_list.xml
and finally you can set a offsetx,y,z in the weapon_list.xml for how big that mesh is (so the beam starts at the end of the mesh)
that way when you upgrade meshes it also upgrades the xmesh on the tip of your weapons *G*
