Altarian Ship Model Bug in Dark Avatar

from GalCiv2 Forums
There appears to be a bug with the third large hull model when using the Altarian ship style. When trying to design a new ship using the large hull size the first two large hull models show up as thumbnails and the "cube" hull shows up, but the thumbnail for the third large hull shows a blank and when the blank is selected, no hull shows up in the ship design area. Furthermore, it does not allow you to add components.

Fantastic job with Dark Avatar...keep up the good work!

There are also some blank hull models with the Korath (new to DA, I think that's the name of the Drengin clan offshoot), I brought up one of them and had a block with huge red hardpoint markers.

I'm assuming these ships are work in progress?

Mortibus,
The cube with the large red hardpoints works as intended. It allows you to attach jewelry components to a negligibly small square "hull" allowing you freedom to design custom ships "without" a hull, much like Kryo's Hull Mod in Dread Lords.

What I am referring to are hulls that are supposed to be in place, but do not function properly. There is an ".x" model file for the third Altarian/Korx large hull, but the model does not appear to load properly into Dark Avatar. I suspect that the problem is not with Dark Avatar, but with the ".x" file.

Oh sweet, that's actually a ship frame?

I thought they were just placeholders because the hardpoint arrows were so huge compared to the other hulls.

That will give me a lot of options with custom ships... looks like another night will be lost in the shipyard.
