Quoted from:
Legacy cutom kit readme
" ...you can also specify a custom cockpit for each ship individually by adding the frame number to the end of the \\hud folder in its name. For example, if you wanted to specify a custom cockpit for the Talon in the game, simply add the number 1 to the end of the \\hud folder so it reads \\hud1. This way, the custom cockpit will apply only for that ship type and not the others."
Believe me. If I had any talent or ability to make custom pits that believably matched each individual ship frame, I would.
Hopefully there are mod artists out there that feel the same way I do.

I agree, there were some really nice looking cockpits for AA and EM. The Silicum series comes to mind. I think "Oh I want to make a cockpit", then I look at the stuff other people produce and delete the textures/meshes I was working on. Some real quality work. Can't wait to see what gets produced.

Neither can I!From post: 182925, Topic: tid=12236, author=Bodega wrote: Can't wait to see what gets produced.
After looking around the shipyard options, I think I'm more than likely going to be focusing on civilian-class ships.
I really like the new detail of the current game-provided cockpit, but honestly, I can only see a few frames on the list that would really fit with the new style civvie pit. I think if there ever were added mods that focused on each of the frames, I'd still choose a frame that seemed most likely to fit with the stock cockpit, but I wouldn't want it for all of them.
The Arrow (one of my favorites), for example, has a design that in EM was basically described as made to be a local-level militia fighter - not quite a full-fledged military craft, but designed with combat in mind. The new model even appears to have that kind of pedigree, but with the new pit looking like a futuristic cargo van interior, it kinda breaks the feel of it.
That same cockpit on something like the Mammoth replacement might fit perfectly though.
I guess it's just a matter of time and patience and hoping there's someone who can make the cockpits I wish I could.

Yup, it's close enough for government work when it comes to my Centurion.From post: 182936, Topic: tid=12236, author=Rubber Chicken wrote:That same cockpit on something like the Mammoth replacement might fit perfectly though.

Looks like I'll be updating my overhaul project lol. For different console icons and cockpit gfx per hull. What I need though is a save file with each hull as a test anyone got one?

I've got the save file ... it's called JSGME (available at SeeJay's website).
