Hi,

I'm having some issues with loading saved games, and I'm trying to do everything I can to minimize any issues that might be causing it. So I'm trying to eliminate any files that could be unnecessary in the MFM download to minimize the loading burden.

So I have a couple a questions:

1. I noticed that there are generally 4 skins supplied for each ship. Is that the maximum amount? Also, do the file names for the skins have to be in the format XXX_T01.tga, XXX_T02.tga, etc? For example in AK01A there are skins called Navyblue.tga and Splinter.tga in addition to the four standard skins (like AK01A_T01.tga). Will they come up randomly just like one of the other four (so there will be a 1 in 6 chance for any particular skin) or are they just "extras" taking up space?

2. Just to confirm, the files that are absolutely necessary (+4 skins) for each Sea folder are:

.cfg
.dat
.dsd
.eqp
.sim
.sns
.val
.zon
en.log
fr.log
ge.log
shp.tga
sil.tga
T01.tga
T02.tga
T03.tga
T04.tga

Anything else can be eliminated?

Thanx for the help.
