Mirroring of aegis does not mirror the alpha settings of the module.

Rotation of doodads with parent section is not consistent in game and in preview mode of SM. Final doodad position is off in the game.
Example sb4:

Notice the red blinkers after the wings have extended in game and in SM. SM preview shows no problem. In game the red blinkers will be off position.

It seems that my negative AI ranges are treated as zero for all of my ships, regardless of the number I put there.

Why would you want to set negative AI ranges? It's illogical to calaulate negative distance from Point A to Point B.

If point A is the enemy ship and point B the position your ship wants to be in, a negative value means your ship wants to be behind the enemy ship.

Bingo. Fighters were excellent in .88 with negative AI ranges. Actual dogfights occurred, and now they don't

Very sad.

Ahh I see, sorry bud but there's no way for that to work other than the flank AI.

And besides, distance is a scalar value, it doesn't factor in direction so it never can go negative.

It used to work just fine for fighter AI's if you coupled it with high max speed and low accel.

Also you could totally get negative distance values if you're thinking in the ways of movement along a set path.

Covered Core v1

See here for details.

Three things:
1) Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

2) The freezing arrow keys is much more important then it seems. When a ship is saved while the arrows are frozen, it creates a series of errors which seem to be about everything on the ship (only the core spawns). I'll see if I can get you a ship that does this sometime soon.

3) (Not very Important) You may already know this, but thrusterex doesn't seem to mirror properly, it's a pixel off, and, more importantly, it seems to keep losing its custom colour.

The screen isn't centering on the ship in Direct Control Mode.

This ship: http://www.wyrdysm.com/battleshipsforev ... Milatu.zip
I have created a rotating section and then mirror it. They rotates perfectly in Shipmaker preview but the mirrored one refuse to rotate in game.

You are not supposed to link drivers to their parents.

Known bugs:
- Trigger, link and driver targets do not mirror or clone

Or are you trying to drive a rotating section?

there are a number of bugs with the "section under" effect. for starters, when mirrored, both of the sections with the effect have the X/Y scale fields reset to some odd values. I think the number there is multiplied by -1, but too lazy to test. also, when mirroring, the Y offset value keeps its value, but the sign is changed. same deal with section over.
