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
