This table contains groups of ships to show in the ship hangar. A group of ships is shown half the time (the other half shows a solo ship), and each of the four groups is equally likely. The bytes for each ship in the group contain the following information: Byte #0 Non-zero = Ship type to draw 0 = don't draw anything Byte #1 Bits 0-7 = Ship's x_hi Bit 0 = Ship's z_hi (1 if clear, or 2 if set) Byte #2 Bits 0-7 = Ship's z_lo Bit 0 = Ship's x_sign The ship's y-coordinate is calculated in the has1 routine from the size of its targetable area. Ships of type 0 are not shown.
