Modding Challenge : Add Ships with out overwriting old ones
what you need to is make a code or something (i don't know im not a moder) and use it to add a second page to the ship select list and add a ship and publish the code or something which allows that for other modders, and just think, you could add a quest to unlock your ship and achievements to unlock a Type B of your ship! it would be awesome!

you made quite a bit of requests and such recently that always run into this one problem: Hard Coding.DragonMaster2962 wrote:what you need to is make a code or something (i don't know im not a moder) and use it to add a second page to the ship select list and add a ship and publish the code or something which allows that for other modders, and just think, you could add a quest to unlock your ship and achievements to unlock a Type B of your ship! it would be awesome!
I'm sorry but we can't do it without hacking (which is bad, not if it's only for yourself I think though) or rewriting a lot of the game.
Advance Edition is coming and it will add type C's for all the ships (that would be 9 more ships) and a new race and ship (3 more ships), if I did my math right that is 12 new ships added to the current 18, is that good enough for your 2nd page?

No, only 8 will get type C's, so only 10.

What you need to do is learn at least the basics of modding, so that you understand why requests such as this are impossible.DragonMaster2962 wrote:what you need to is make a code or something (i don't know im not a moder)

what? which of the 9 ships will not get a type C? I bet it's the crystal cruiser... or the kestrel.agigabyte wrote:R4V3-0N wrote: Advance Edition is coming and it will add type C's for all the ships (that would be 9 more ships) and a new race and ship (3 more ships), if I did my math right that is 12 new ships added to the current 18, is that good enough for your 2nd page?

Not all ships, one of the 9 plus the Lanius get none.

The Lanius isn't one of the original ships, meaning it could possibly have a type C but not verified as of yet technically.Type C Ship Layouts: 8 of the original ships will have a third layout that capitalizes on the new content. With the Lanius ship, that makes for a total of ten new starting ship designs.
It also pretty much says one of the 9 original ships get no type B, I assume it'll be no Crystal.
