[Question] How can I make a ship only useable by other races

[Max Bain]

Is it possible to have ships (or other wares) that the NPC races will build, but the player cant buy the blueprints or even the ship at the ship yard? He shall not see that these exists in the buy menu but the Argons should be able to build and use them. Is that even possible?

Thank you

Add the ship macro to an appropriate entry in shipgroups.xml

but the player cant buy the blueprints

Add the tag noplayerblueprint to the ship ware.

or even the ship at the ship yard?

You could have the ware require a license that the player cannot acquire. Player will still see the ship in the ship config menu when buying ships, though, but won't be able to select it for purchase.

Do we have the ability to make custom licenses? I thought it kicks out an error if we don't follow the established types of licenses.

I haven't personally tried but i know shuulo attempted it for vro to make the Titan only available to npc.

I tried it as well, but I wasnt able to do so. But I had no tutorial or so, so I might did it wrong. Maybe someone can explain how it works?
