As part of my work on KA2 I started researching how to Gunsue starships like in KA. Well almost 3 years later I figured it out.
This is not practical for a gaming mod but could be used as part of a mod for pics.
First take the ship model and cut it up into all the parts you want leaving a core.
Next take the core and rebuild the areas where you removed the other parts to show the final damage. Make sure the removed parts will completly cover the Damage.
Now hardpoint the core up like a combi research station/starship. The removed parts will be the "pods".
Now hardpoint the "pods". Different pods can have some systems like weapons, or shuttle bay. It may even be possible to mount the engines in the pods. Remeber to match the center point to the "station" hardpoint so it will look right when assembled.
Now for the really hard part. Each pod and the core need their own odfs. Ti will be like doing a really big research station. They will all need to be able to be towed so the ship can move.
Now put everything in the game. If you have done it all right you build the ship. Then the parts and you will have a fully functional starship. When you get into a fight the parts will get fraged seperately. It's alot of work but could pay off for the right things.
