Starting off with a llama...

[negative0017]

I think this is a little too much...
a llama has more hold volume than a Plowshare(honestly i dont remember, but on my game my llama says it has 2000 cargo hold and the plowshare says it has only 1000), and seriously is a damn good ship

im not trying to ruin anyones day... but a llama seriously should not be the starter ship..

There are several inconsistencies buried in units.csv that is just one have a look at the clydle's hold volume don't know if it's been fixed

Enjoy the Choice

Yeah, I think the clydesdale still has ten trillion hold volume (10,000,000,000,000 m^3).

But I think the plowshare actually has 10,000 hold volume not 1000 (1 more zero at the end)

Bear in mind that you can't tractor in cargo that is bigger than a certain amount of your ship (I think it's one tenth as big)--despite how much space is in your hold volume.

That means that if you buy a big ship inside of a llama, the game won't look at the radial size of the ship until it has been purchased. Actually, the reason for this is because radial size computation requires the whole mesh to be loaded which makes buying ships slow and uses up more memory.

However, the tractor beam will make sure it actually fits in your ship before sucking something up.

for sure it does ace, but it would also be cool to have a 3d-view of your new ride and external visible equipment ... the other thing is that we might get rid of any 2d-icons by doing this ...

There is external view camera modes. in external cameras, x and s keys pan the view around your ship.
