The bone connections, or lack thereof, at the hips is whats concerning me most about the skeleton. How it is now, the bones in the hip will move in relation to the entire scene, rather than to the bone that it stems from. Did you start making the skeleton from the waist up?

I encourage learning animation. I think its fun, and not all that hard to do. You just have to understand how the body moves, and how the clothing will impeed movement (Normally, something called Paint Weighting would be used, and that would affect how the clothing moves and bends, etc, but its very complex, far beyond my comprehension)
Handles are only there to aid in animation, but arent necissary. We can split up the list of animations. That way, the list gets taken care of a little bit faster, you learn to animate, and I stop slacking

if we could get a rigger to do a quick rigging job, that would be awsome.
If not, then I can take over and stop my slacking

Vedrit (a skilled animator here) also built a skeleton for animating it already.  You're welcome to download that one and base something off of it anytime.

To be honest, I've been majorly slacking, and with no reason, half ass or not. Yes, we have a bone structure, properly named and all, but for animating purposes, and the part I am struggling most with, there are no handles (Or rigging, as its called in the industry) (Things that can be moved and affect corresponding bones in a specific fashion), that make the animating easier

I thought it was still upwards of a gig. Maybe FileFront can be a weekly thing, with an install that doesnt have the source or map building stuff. You can always do seperate files

Bugs prior to release 2.3 / Re: Are these bugs or design changes??

This is afaik fighter_crash map, and it doesn`t have any dropship`s model by design of the map.
May be it is just old map (since pre 2.0 branch).

Strange. I was usuing R 25745, and recall seeing it in previous versions.

Something Im wondering about is if the PHALANX dropship was taken out of this map (See attached screen shot)

Just on a note, I think no one downloads the changes for that reason above, and that they cant unzip it. I cant.
