biobomber and flitter glitches

I've noticed a few glitches with a couple of small things. If anyone knows the fix then please let me know.

#1. It is impossible to dock to any biobombers other than your own (you can dock to your own like you do at stations if you're using a mega freighter that has been positioned just right).

#2. I wanted to take over a flitter so that I could easily tag pods from a safe distance, which works great until I go back to base and save/reload. When I come back the flitter/miner nolonger have any sensors or anything.

I've tried altering the ini and lws files but nothing happens. with the biobomber, I setup the ini and lws files to match the player base as closely as possibly without creating a new player base. With the flitter, I just manually added the nps_sensors to the ship.

Is there something with the T_utility and T_biobomber classes that wont allow these actions to be performed, or did I forget to do something?

Smith - "You know you're right, I better add on some more antimatter pbc's."

It is nice to see someone new modding.

T_Utility classes have been often used and no reports of issues have been made.

How are you "taking over" a flitter? More details are needed. If you are creating the flitter, then a snip of the code that sets up the ship would help.

I've been using IFleet to take over the flitter. but its not just the flitter that has this problem, the gasminer does the same thing; and any attempts to board the truck, frog, or srnv cause the game to crash.

The game expects player ships to have certain systems. If you jump into a ship without them, the game can crash. iFleet tries to work around this to some degree by installing player systems on the non-player ships when you jump over.

There can be other issues with stealing the ships out from under the AI scripts. I have noticed that changing a ships group unexpectedly (as iFleet does) can also cause crashes. If you really like having a flitter, then I suggest creating a player version and putting that into the game. You could create an unarmed version of the remote fighter.

Alright I found the error, REMHack replacing the ini files that I had just made so i deleted the REMHack copies (after changing my files a little) and everything started to work like it should. Thanks for the help
