Thanks again everyone!

The Recognition Manual primarily follows Fotrs's attempt to put "something" into the book, but it's not as detailed as the SH4 Stock game having a 90; 45; and zero degree image. With any new ships we may have made for Ultimate, we pretty much just followed what the Fotrs guys did. Some of their pictures come directly from SHIII.....so the RM is in all kinds of different looking configurations.


When I get around to it, I'll be looking at the ship measurements and redoing the RM to suit my idea of what an RM should look like. I've actually had a plan for some time to put measurements onto the RM ship pictures to coincide with the ability to use the Stadimeter to "pick" a spot on the target to get a measurement from....not just the mast. You'd have a dial to "set" the spots height figure, then take a reading from that spot, giving you a reasonably accurate Range to target. I know there are some measurements that aren't even close to providing an accurate measurement of Range if your using Manual Targeting, so a "make over" is needed for more than one reason.
