garicstar, I'm sitting here going duh! why did I do that? Of course the elevator thing is dumb. Doh! I think perhaps you have inspired me to do more on the ship now. I was thinking originally of railed stairs roughly in the middle of each side, but I nixed them due to time/work contraints. I don't think it would be all that hard to add those (not poseable). On the weapons tip, I originally designed the scout ship as a peaceful vessel. It wouldn't be impossible to add guns, I had also envisioned a turret with a Millenium Falcon type gun with a chair and all that (in the elevator). This would take away entrance/exit animation, but some people would only really need the gun version. I could add guns to the four nav sensors, and that would make them able to rotate and go up and down, but not track in complete 3d. Let me know what you might like to see. Also, perhaps you could input on if stock motion files (based on one male and one female) would be helpful, such as standing on ground, climbing ladder, going down in elevator, getting into seats, etc. Remember, it may take a while before I could really deliver anything, since I would be starting with only the product you see as a starting point.
