Making the government shots not hit the ship

How do i make it so that a particular gov's weapons do not hit the player?

You were faking it? I was following you the whole time!

i believe it is a flag (could be wrong, I'm new at this). Alternately, you could use the flag in each pers file to acheive the effect. Am I right?

I think the best you can do is use the 0x0040 flag in the govt resource - "Never attacks player (also, player's weapons can't hit them)". I thought there was flag in the rank resource to make a govt's shots unable to hit you but I just checked and couldn't find it.

Using the do not attack player won't work i think. I need it so that the ships weapons pass over the player. That way if you are helping a ship of that government, its weapons won't kill you.

Can't be done. Trust me -- I've tried.

Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes. They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses
And what's with all the carrots? What do they need such good eyesight for, anyway?
Bunnies -- bunnies -- it must be bunnies... or maybe midgets

Use dudes. Set the flag that says 'Player cant hit or be hit by this dude' or something to that effect. Easy.

There's no corresponding flag on flët resources, so defense fleets of a government will still be able to hit you and vice versa.

Planetary weapons! Ha! I just thought of it! Make 2 copys of each ship that you plan on the player purchaseing, make one a planet ship and the other a regular ship. Give the planet ships planet hurting weapons and give the player planet weapons. Set all spobs strenghth to 0 or -1, that makes them invincable.

You mean reinforcement fleets (and all other fleets). Defense fleets are actually dudes.
