Weapon Models

Do we currently have weapon models in VS? It might be worth doing a few weapon models and possibly turret models that will show up on the outsides of ships. I think it will have a good effect of appearing to add deatil to all the ships, making them look a bit nicer. Being play eve again with some friends and have been trying to spot the differences in appearences between the 2, and things like weapons and some flashing lights on antennas are one of the first things i notice

Yes we do.

I think they're disabled, because not all ships have mountpoints properly configured.

So, in addition to modelling the weapons, one would also have to fix all ships in units.csv whose mountpoints aren't properly scaled (IIRC, only scale is wrong in some of them).

Perhaps add a flag fora a per ship draw/no draw?

If config says no draw then no draw
If config says draw and ship says no draw then no draw
if config says draw and ship says draw then draw

This works fine, but not always.
As to "draw/don't draw per ship", it's already controlled by xyscale and zscale - both should be !=0, that's why they are drawn on Gawain but not Dostoevsky.

So that would make it largely a data issue, and any ship with bad mount points just set both to 0 untill it can be reworked.
