Solar Radius is just the sprite. I am not sure now however if the MISSION SATELLITE does change the visiblity in the contact list.

Location names require a certain set of IDs with proper grammar. There's an plugin from adoxa about it: http://adoxa.altervista.org/freelancer/dlp.php?f=names
Some kind of readme is within the Names.c file (text file).

Yes. The game has a set range of I think 1 or 2 k at the end of the routes that a dockable object must be within range. Otherwise it will crash.

Can you please provide the data of your system ini and the used nebula ini files?

Regarding multiple system secorts: That is Multiuniverse: https://the-starport.net/modules/newbb ... &order=ASC&status=&mode=0

The other I do not know about. Might be a hack or hook.

To summarize I understand the problem and solution correctly:

Each Hardpoint (on ship models and weapon models each) have a range of movement. Players can use those freely (+ the muzzle cone tolerance degree given in constants.ini to "shoot around the corner").

NPCs do not use these ranges for guns and missiles. Only for turrets (else no station and cruiser would work).
Instead NPCs take the default direction vector of gun hardpoints + fixed 3° for guns or 22,5° for missiles.
Meaning that even if a gun could be rotated 360° they would only fire almost straight forward.

Is that correct?

And then the fix means now that NPCs, given a higher degree by Adoxa's hack, could also use the HP movement range freely (if using a big range set in the offset).

Ok, I just noticed myself that I misunderstood the problem. The NPCs do not use the player muzzle cone entry from constants.ini, but instead the fixed ones given by Adoxa. Allowing them to also shoot "around the corner", so to say.

Thanks for uploading those. I knew them only from a Youtube Video that had them all merged into one long soundtrack-video.

I also still have some other Freelancer Soundtrack on my PC. Certainly it contains tracks from yours, just cut into several single titles. But it also contains Bar Music, which is missing in your version. This Bar Music however is in better quality than FL's, and so it must be also from some "more original" source.

I think J.R. sent it to me once.

And since we are at this, Syd once also sent me very early music of the game.

Oh, those are really nice models.
