are there any exceptions to the creation or revision of vehicles versus other objects in SWRFUSS? the only speeders i could seem to invoke and edit weren't recognised by the openhatch/board commands. also, when creating vehicles how does set the object to work with the board command and send them to a specified room for the interior?

Vehicles in SWR are not objects. They're a whole different beast. It might be worthwhile for you to read over the space helpfiles to get a feel for things.

is that true of landspeeders as well? those are all i'm interested in at the moment. i will read over the file though – ta.

It's all part of the same system.
