Running EE on a Mac, and Docking Fighters
Hello! I love this game! I really want development to continue! I'm planning on donating as soon as I have the extra cash.
Two Questions, though:
First off, very early on in the master EE thread daid stated that this game should run on a mac. How do I do that? I've searched this forum but there doesn't appear to be anything very up to date on that subject.
Also, I've seen it mentioned that it's possible to dock fighters with larger player ships. How is this achieved? My brothers and I were testing different ships and couldn't figure out how to dock fighters.
Thanks for working on this, all who are!

For building a mac version, you could take a look at this wiki page:
https://github.com/daid/EmptyEpsilon/wiki/Build-from-sources
I have no idea how up to date the OS X section is, though.
I haven't seen anything re: docking fighters
Currently only the jump-carrier makes active use of this: https://github.com/daid/EmptyEpsilon/blob/02a6e1aa6d82039889c0d079a8434aef94d40ce9/scripts/shipTemplates_Corvette.lua
(at the bottom)
So per default none of the ships allow for small fighter docking to player ships. But the engine allows for it with custom ship types.
