The hardpoints you listed earlier create a single verticle line from north to south pole.
Technically there aren't any directly on the equator, they are stationed north and south (perhaps one of the reasons that they don't have the range for PD?) of the equator.
the hardpoint row just above the equator are:
2,4,6,8,9,10,19,20
the row to the south are:
11,13,15,17,20,22,23,24
OK, here you go. Nightsoftware is inaccessable to me again so I put it on my homepage, It won't be there forever but I'll keep it there for a while. It should be the PlanetEarth, with the hardpoints moved to the outer perimeter of the model, around the equator. As I said, I never got around to testing what the result was, since I have been busy building models for a mod, so have at it and let everyone know what the result it.
