I am glad that you enjoyed the patch mate!
So if I am interpreting correctly your post, it wasn't that easy to tear up those reflectors, isn't it? Besides this, have you noticed the changes in beam range, and the new UV neon glow effect?

Then reference your new zone in the .zon file |
Yes I knew it, but thank you for the reminder TDW
In theory we could have as many zones as we want. One for each gun, or even one for each part of each gun and for each compartment of every ship. The hard part though is collecting detailed information on armour, strenght of materials used, etc, and icreasing the number of possible zones for giving them random numbers is a pointless exercise...

That is a good piece of information!
I will put myself at work, but I would need for some "wrecked gun models" that we are currently missing in game.
I guess that these models don't need to be in GR2 format. Linking a dat object would be okay, isn't it?
Anyway being able to export the "unbroken" meshes from the GR2 file would help a lot... can we expect you GR2 Reader/Editor to be able doing it anytime soon?
