oh.. the ship render/lodding is working
little techie demo http://www.public.iastate.edu/~kazan/opdemo.zip
you'll also see a lot of place holder files in /data/root_op/sector and /starsys/...
as the ship moves away it's lod will decrease automatically - under normal conditions the LOD distances would be values that wouldn't let you notice the difference between lods, so i kicked them down a bit to let it be seen
if you want to hack the LOD distances there in the centurion-confed.opship file in /data/root_op/ships/
