Hello , I tried creating a new ship in the tShips file with the X3Editor editor but i cannot figure out how to change the ships name - everytime i click on it it gives me a read only error message , Anyone know how to do that?

All (english) texts are in t\0001-L044.xml in a cat file. Open from VFS to find it (for AP, it's in addon\04.cat).

If you use built-in "cat manager" plugin there will be no need in searching through .cat files

Hence my "Open from VFS".

I did manage to open the tships file and copyed an existing ship to make a new one- I cannot change the name of the new ship since it is "read only"

The name is defined in the main text file on page 17 (i.e. pages 17, 300017, 350017, 380017). Therefore you have to change the "Name id" in the General tab in the Tships entry for your new ship. The name id is the text id on page 17, which contains the name you want to give your ship.

You can reference any available text id on the mentioned pages (note that page 380017 is only loaded in X3AP), or create an own text id with the desired text there. The text id can be a number between 1 and a bit over 2 billion, and ideally shouldn't overwrite any existing ids on that page.
