Known Issues:
– Passenger Positions are in the wrong place
– Internal views can see through the ship
– Characters standing on the ship stay in the same place in the world when the ship moves this is an Engine issue
– Behaviour in multiplayer is untested and collisions will probably be unreliable this is largely due to the ship being larger than what can be comfortably handled by the Engine
– Bullet collisions (Fire Geometry) may not work properly on some parts of the hull
– Characters can become a bit stuck on some of the stairs
– Detection for the entry points on the ladders is unreliable
– Setting an initial azimuth (turning the ship) when placing it in the editor WILL cause parts of the ship to become misaligned
– When calling in artillery gunfire particle effects are in the wrong place
