Federation Boarding Ship

[Soe]

I'm new with modding any games, but I'm working on a Federation Boarding ship. Right now I'm simply modifying the Red Tail pre-existing ship for this, but does anyone have any tips to help out with this? Thanks in advance for help.

You'll get more help if you describe specific issues. For general help, check out the development of other mods (some topics have been moved to Working Mods when the mod was in a working state).

Well, first, I've seen some ships in mods with a four person medbay, what would I have to do to allow a medbay to hold four people?

If you're using SuperLuminal, just don't put a station in it. If you're editing the text file, find the code that looks like this:

Code: Select all

		<medbay power="1" room="12" start="true" img="room_medbay2">
			<slot>
				<number>3</number>
			</slot>
		</medbay>

And change the "number" line to this:

Code: Select all

				<number>-2</number>

Thanks for the help. Last issue is just a bit of my occasional OCD, but is there any way to control the order the crew displays?

Not in SuperLuminal. But if you unpack your FTL file and edit the blueprints.xml.append, find the area where your crew is stored. You can change it there. The first one will be in the pilot seat, the next one will be in the pilot room, and the ones after that will go nearby in a semilogical fashion.

Note: If you load and save it in SL again it'll screw it back up.

I have a done a six person teleporter in a ship before. Does that help?

I've already got most of the design work done, just hammering out a few balance issues. Again, thank you everyone for your help.
