Defense Fighter: can it be changed?

[one_klump]

Does anybody know if the R2 defense fighter (the one that shoots down incomming fire) can be modified to act like a regular ship? I have edited the .shp file to include the right guns, and removed the "special abilities" section as well. Any ideas?

As far as I know, it can't be done, which sucks.:(

just an idea. you could try creating a new ship and adding different gun points so the ship would have both the defence lazer and offensive wepons, but don't take my word for it cos i'm no good at modding anything other than shp files:D

well, damn, I tried everything, and to no avail. Now the ship just flies around not shooting anything...
