Here's what I'm trying to do: create a new ship, as well as a character to start off with that ship. Here's the problem: when you choose the character you'd like to be and dub your ship with a fancy name and click OK, Nova chokes and quits.
I don't know what the problem is, but that's probably because I went into this thing blind. If anyone would like me to email them the 500kb file so that they could diagnose the problem, I'd be very grateful.
Cheers.

Alright... Umm... Well, since I've forgotten everything from my EV plugging days; where are the sprites located?
The Nova sprites are stored as shäns, which read from the RLe resources.

Make sure the ship is valid, i.e. try to make it buyable and have another, normal-starting pilot buy it. if it is, the problem is in the chär. if it isn't, the problem is in the shïp.

The chär feature doesn't work on Windows, by the way.

Alright. I've got everything working now, except for two things. 1) the dësc resource for the ship and 2) the large image shown when clicking 'Info' in shipyard
I just forget how to figure which resource ID # I should use, and I can't seem to find it in the pre-release bible... Thanks.
After going through Nova Files:
dësc = Idx# of ship + 13000 Very large PICT = RID# of ship + 20000
