looks cool, though i feel that the Ares Bridge cockpits would look better on some ships, they have the same size at least Btw, i built your Atropos, and i have a small issue: Is there any way i could increase the gap between the ship and the ground? its barely passable for the player but the vehicles and npc pathfihnding gets lost

[@chickensquare1]

You could swap out the 2-story stairwell for a 3-story elevator and drop the bay and gear down a deck. Shouldn't change much as far as looks and you'll be a reasonable distance from the ground.

[@chickensquare1]

The only problem I have with the Ares is if you clip through the sides it visually obstructs the interior, and I tend to merge through everything for smoothness lol. I can't help it. I really like the TIGER Starborn cockpit cuz it's got the Viking cockpit interior, so clipping through the sides doesn't intrude on the inside.

[@soaringcannon6998]

What snaps and flips mod are you using cause I've run into the biggest road block with the deimos bumpers and spines

[@chickensquare1]

Better Ship Part Flips, and Better Ship Part Snaps on Creations. It may be a load order problem. I have one at the moment as well. I seem to have lost the port/stbd flip variant of the pointed Nova cowling.

[@lee-dz6nm]

Hi there, I wanted to ask you , how do you succeed on flipping those (nova afterburner std) to face on the opposite side, cause I tried to flip them with all the mode that you listed and I still can’t figured out how you did it! Thx

[@chickensquare1]

You aren't the first to have flip/snap issues. I'm guessing those of you missing certain flip or variant options have some kind of conflict in your load order. I have a flip issue with my Nova Cowlings myself. No idea what's causing it.

[@lee-dz6nm]

Oh ok thx, and by the way very nice ship! Well done!🤙🏾

[@chickensquare1]

Thanks my friend.

[@JoshThomas892]

@@chickensquare1are you sure those are the only mods you need for this build? I’m having the same issue, afterburners just don’t exist in my builder

[@chickensquare1]

That's a load order issue. I was having one myself and I didn't even know it. Apparently Avontech Raceyards has had structural versions of all of its engines this entire time lol. I didn't find that out til I did a bit of rearranging in my load order. 2 whole sets of parts from 2 different mods appeared after that lol. So just make sure Better Flips and Better Snaps are below anything else in your load order that modifies base game parts, and put the manufacturer mods (Avontech, DarkStar, Matilija etc) at the top of the list.

[@connormorrissey9793]

Can you list what mods you use please?

[@chickensquare1]

@connormorrissey9793 sorry bud I must have missed your comment. Here's my list of mods. They're not necessarily in this order but this is most of the ship related ones I'm using.
