Why you want to remove a node?

I have used the following method to "remove" a node:

Open the .eqp file. Scroll down until the node you want to remove is displayed. For example "M05":

Just leave the "Linkname" blank

[Equipment 5]
NodeName=M05
LinkName=4InchDouble
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

[Equipment 5]
NodeName=M05
LinkName=
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19451231

Now the node is "blank", no gun is mounted to the node. That's the only method I know, which is working without a hex editor.

I see, but cause Iam not a hex genius, I can't help you in that way.
Try ask sergbuto or Uboat234.

Sorry bud.

The platform in the armed trawler is not a node, it's a 3d object.

bigboywooly,
I removed the pieces you wanted from the armed trawler and test it in game, no issues. So E-mail it to me and I can have it back same day.

Thankfully I do not have a texture save issue with armed trawler & the escorts, well at least the many tested ones anyway.

bigboywooly,
All done and on its way back too you. There are several DAT files... return file is 1Mb.

Here is the ingame version of what you asked for...

In addition to what you asked I also took the liberty to do some quick editing :hmm:
