Do ships that use ATP work with foundation technologies?

Not without modifications to the ships plugin.


ATP loads it's things through the ship file (in scripts/ships) and the affilifation number in the ships properties (and it checks certain systems for particular names). Whereas FoundationTechnologies loads whatever the ships plugin (in scripts/Custom/Ships) says it wants loaded.


[EDIT] It *may* be possible to have a technology that scans the ship file and see if it has any technologies and then adds the FoundationTech counterpart to the technologies to load. But I have yet to even think of how to do this.

Hopefully that will happen. So many ships use ATP for these technologies and you can't get ATP anymore.
