Changing ship IDs?

Post by bvschipper » Fri, 23. Oct 09, 14:00

Kind of an unusual question, but is it possible to change the ship (and station) IDs? By "ID" I mean the random assignment of letters and numbers, not the "Your Argon Buster" name. If not in vanilla, is there a script anyone knows of? Thank you in advance.

Regards

Can't be done in vanilla. Not sure if it can be done by a scritp. Ask in the S&M anyways.

Nope, not even by script or mod. They are hardcoded.
Come watch me on Twitch where I occasionally play several of the X games

The ID isn't all random, by the way. The first letter is race, the second two are class, and the last four seem to be in order of when the ship spawns.

Like, say I create two clones of an Argon Buster with the cheat script. Since they're instantly spawned together (and no other ships in the universe have time to get between them), their IDs would be something like:
AM4FS-56
AM4FS-57
