Say you wanted to make one ship's ZON file have the same characteristics as another ship's ZON file. Can you simple copy the desired file over to the desired ship's directory, and rename it appropriately?
I ask because I'm stupid/stubborn enough to be running NSM4 with 1.5. I've got a beautiful set up on a CL Tenryu, which doesn't have a NSM ZON file. The Tenryu appears to be very similiar to the Kuma, if I remember right... so I'd love to just copy the Kuma's ZON file over to the Tenryu's directory (in an inactive NSM JSGME mod), rename it, and reenable NSM. Of course, the final step would be to sink it
.
I've already tried to sink it... put four neat fish right into the side of her, spaced out by a good bit. Each fish hit, exploded... and the Tenryu sailed right on, rightly angered. I'm not a big fan of this behavior.
