The way I do it is by loading the shipmod (the .ftl file) in slipstream. The ship will then appear in superluminal as well.
I've heard it can be done in a different (and probably even quicker) way as well though.

Thanks so much! I don't know why I didn't think of that x)

Wait for some reason it didn't work and I don't know why. I opened it with slipstream but the ship didn't appear.

You saved the ship as a .ftl file right?
Then you patched it in with slipstream.
You have to re-open superluminal btw.
It should work.

I hate to ask this, but you did check if your ship was in the list of ships right?
As in load ship -> player ship -> open the list of the ship yours replaces. If no other mods are installed it should be the one with a |> (it's a triangle okay...) next to it. You should then get a list of 2 ships, one should be yours.

Remember, in superluminal you mostly deal with blueprint names, not ship names.

If you did do it correctly, you can send me the mod and I'll have a look.

Ohhh I found it now, I thought it would automatically open when I started up superluminal x) Thanks so much again for your help

No problem, we all had are "facepalm" moments when we started...

Just wondering, let's say you have an event that turns your crew into a hostile. Is it possible to revive them in the Clone Bay? (Before the event box is gone of course. Boarding events don't allow revival once the box is closed.)

Here's an example:

You enter a region of space where the laws of reality are temporarily suspended. You take a left turn and find a man in a goatee staring at you intently. Then as you take evasive action from a stray meteorite made of neutronium you find yourself flying into... the Twilight Zone.

Crewman Serling is now an enemy.
I know that the crew turning against you is actually a boarding event where the hostile is "type enemy" (and it used to be a Human before AE... which made it hilarious when your Rockman became a man) but does that mean the original is lost forever?

I've been trying to figure out the problem with a mod which adds 20 new weapons and I can't find anything wrong, but the weapons that aren't working properly just happen to be the last three listed in the blueprints. I don't see how there could be some kind of limit to the number of blueprints that can be added since CE adds far more that 20 and works just fine, but I don't see any other possibilities. I've validated the mod the slipstream and more that triple checked everything myself, does anybody have any other suggestions as to what the problem could be?
