Here's a copy of the note I make about the tnc_hardpoints.odf file:
This mod includes a file called tnc_hardpoints.odf, which defines the targeting hardpoints for the ship's various systems. This file should be common across most of my recent mods. Please make sure a copy stays in the odf/ships folder, even if you have a copy in the stations folder, to ensure the game loads the hardpoints correctly for a ship. It may cause an installation crash upon loading if this file is not present in the ships folder.
Have fun!
