Besides correcting heights, reference points and the like, I was also wanting to change the order and organization of the ships, if possible. It seems like you need to make 72 clicks to get to the one you want.
This is something I'd like to see too, but I don't think it can be done.

On the outside of the RM you have a choice of the different nationality warships, or the merchants. It's default opens up the Japan Warships section, next the Merchants, then the remainder of the nationality warships in alphabetical order....starting with the American's, British, etc.

Within these sections the ships are divided into a pre determined order of class type, and an alphabetical order by ship name within each class. For instance the Japan Warships start with the BB's, CV's, CVL's, CA's, CL's, DD's and so on. With an alphabetical order by ship name within each of the class type's.

Merchants also follow this pattern with the Passenger Liners starting off first, then the Troop Transport, Tankers, Freighters, Coastal Ships, Fishing, the Tug follows up last.

The trouble is, I don't think these sections can be made to "Tab" the specific classes within the Menu_1024_768.ini file. Just making the entries won't do it......the game needs to have a script made to specifically tell it to open a class type with a "Tab" mouse click. I believe making the "Tab" show on the RM can be done. Making it actually function to do something is another matter.
