    I would also like this. The hack just posted does indeed work, for seeing the base in the distance. But what I would want is for the base to be clickable in solars in the left hud. The hack does not accomplish that.

    Our Destructible Battleships only show up in the hud at 10k.

    It’s the radius in the Level0 VMeshRef of the Root object. If it’s <= 200, the object is removed from the contact list at just under 14K; over 200, it stays (at least for the Battleship Missouri). This was something you should have been able to track down yourself, since you should have noticed that swapping Buffalo and Missouri also swapped the effect. Experiment people! Don’t wait for me to do what you can do yourselves. Tracking down that test in the code, though, can wait a bit longer.

    I think we should have a special forum section called “Ask Adoxa”. I’m taking the piss I know, but it would sure as hell save you a lot of time if you had your own public mail box so to speak, save you having to sort through your fan mail! 🙂

    Turns out the distance was already known.

    freelancer.exe	0D1750	14000f = range at which an object is no longer "unknown" ~FriendlyFire
    
    

    If you’d prefer to do it via the radius.

    freelancer.exe	213EC4	200f = object with radius (<root .3db="">\Level0\VMeshRef) <= this removed from Contact List after distance at 0D1750 ~adoxa</root>
